In the wake of the T-72 tank's poor performance in the 1991 Gulf
War, the Kremlin instructed the Russian tank industry to drop the
discredited T-72 designation in favour of the T-90 Vladimir. The
T-90 was in fact a further evolution of the T-72 family, but the
name change represented an important break in Russian/Soviet tank
design history. The T-90 has become the principal export tank of
Russia, and is in service in large numbers in many countries
including Algeria, India, and many of the former Soviet republics.
Using detailed illustrations and full colour artwork, this book
will also describe the evolution of the T-90s many failed
successors including the little known Bokser, Molot, and T-95, as
well as its likely successor, the new T-14 Armata, and the wide
range of specialized vehicles based on the T-90 chassis such as the
formidable Terminator tank support vehicle.
