The Russian government formally adopted the T-90 Main Battle Tank (MBT) in 1992, marking a substantial advancement over its predecessor, the T-72. It was designed and manufactured by the Russian company Uralvagonzavod, located in Nizhny Tagil.
The tank was initially displayed to the public on November 7, 1977, during a military march in the well-known Red Square, despite having been constructed in the Soviet Union as early as 1967.
Alexander Morozov created the Soviet T-64 tank in the 1960s, which included modern innovations like composite armour and a 125mm smoothbore cannon. Its governmental support ensured continued manufacture even in the face of rising production costs.
