Team : Hawk Republic # T-90A Role : Main Battle Tank ## Addons | Addon | Cost | | ------------------- | ---------- | | Improved Ammunition | 750 points | | Glowing Shtora | Free | | T-90S | Free | ## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/t-90a.md#general-information) Description : The **T-90A** is a Main Battle Tank and the first major production variant of the Russian T-90, introduced in the early 2000s with a welded turret, improved armour, and the **Shtora-1** electro-optical countermeasures system (the distinctive “eyes” on the turret). Weighing 46.5 tonnes with a three-man crew, it is powered by a **ChTZ V-92S2** diesel producing 1,000 horsepower (21.5 hp/t) and reaches 61.33 km/h forward and 4 km/h in reverse. Main armament is the **125mm 2A46M-5** smoothbore with an autoloader (6.8-second cycle), firing APFSDS, HEAT, HE-Frag, and **9M119** ATGMs; a coaxial **7.62mm PKT** and commander’s **12.7mm KORD** complete the armament. The T-90A has a laser warning system, stabilizer, smoke grenades, and engine smoke. The gunner has a laser rangefinder, fire control with lead, and a thermal sight with second-generation white-hot imaging and tracking; the commander has a 1x–8x cupola sight. This vehicle features three addons: **Improved Ammunition**, **Glowing Shtora** and **T-90S**. The Improved Ammunition addon costs 750 points and replaces the stock 3BM42 shell with the 3BM59 DU APFSDS; this upgrade provides an additional 97 mm of maximum penetration and introduces a 2x spall multiplier, which significantly enhances the T-90A's anti-tank lethality and ensures devastating post-penetration damage. The Glowing Shtora addon is free and activates the iconic red glow of the Shtora-1 Soft Kill APS, though this remains a purely cosmetic feature. The T-90S addon is also free and replaces the Shtora emitters and their mountings with additional ERA tiles, providing a minor protection boost against CE rounds and ATGMs at the cost of the vehicle's signature active protection system.
