According to reports, in a Facebook group following a “Russian military vehicle” post, a user shared a photo of a heavy trailer he found. The photo shows the two heavy trailers carrying tanks from the outline and shape of the tank. It looks like a Russian T-90A main battle tank, and the pair of infrared jamming headlights is its most distinctive identification feature. The T-90A is one of the three main tanks of the Russian Army and has been in service since the 1990s. T-90A represents Russia's top tank technology in the 90s, and it is still a first-class tank.
As of now, T-90A has only been exported to Syria except for Russia’s own use. Other countries such as Algeria, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Iraq, Venezuela and India have purchased T-90S without infrared interference headlights. There are not many T-90A in Syria. Although there are occasional losses in continuous combat, it is not enough to travel across oceans to the United States. In fact, the United States does not have a complete channel to obtain T-90A.
So what kind of doorway is this T-90A? Some experts pointed out that this may be the conversion of the previously obtained T-72 into a simulated T-90A training tank to provide soldiers with realistic simulation training. The top of the turret of this tank has a clear arc, which is T- 72 This kind of egg-shaped cast turret is unique, T-90A uses a wedge-shaped turret, and does not have this curve. The United States first came into contact with the T-72 tank after the merger of the two Germanys, the T-72M tank equipped by the original East German People's Army. Since the Gulf War, the United States has seized the T-72 series tanks (Iraqi’s T-72M1) on the battlefield many times. After the end of the Cold War, Eastern European countries (Romania and the Czech Republic) eager to exchange foreign exchange and join NATO have also provided the United States with Part of the T-72 tank. Ukraine even provided two prototypes of T-84 tanks in the 1990s, which are further improved models of T-80UD.
It’s not difficult to change the T-72 tank into T-90A, because T-90A is actually developed from T-72B. The chassis is almost the same except for the armor and engine. The biggest difference is the use of a wedge. Turret and updated fire control system. Since it is a simulated appearance, the actual firepower and fire control system of the tank are not important. It only needs to be as realistic as possible in appearance, so only the shape of the turret needs to be modified, and the equipment and props can be almost exactly the same as the T-90A.
As early as the 1980s and 1990s, the United States had formed imaginary enemy units of the Army. These units used and operated Soviet-made weapons in large quantities and adopted Soviet-style organization to simulate the Soviet combat model. Some of the unavailable weapons were modified with the U.S. military's active-duty equipment, striving to be similar in appearance.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, a large number of weapons flowed out, coupled with the active export of Eastern European countries and the delivery of battlefields, the US military obtained a large number of original Soviet equipment, even including high-end air defense systems such as S-300P, and Su-27. Advanced fighter. To understand these Soviet-made weapons, and to help the U.S. military in a disguised form to face the military equipped with Soviet-made weapons on the battlefield can do everything in the past.
