#Ukraine: For the first time ever the most advanced Russian main battle tank T-90M was captured by the Ukrainian army - presumably in #Kharkiv Oblast.
This tank is also covered with Nakidka radar-absorbent and heat-insulating material.

The T90MS is just an upgrade of the T90 which entered service in 1992

should be reliable,

THis is from a wiki page

The T-90 is a Russian main battle tank (MBT) derived from the T-72, and is currently the most modern tank in service with the Russian Ground Forces and Naval Infantry.
