Is T-90 A good tank?

Is the T-90 a T-72?

The T-90 is essentially a T-72 upgraded with the more advanced systems found on the T-80U, but ditches the T-80’s troublesome gas turbine engine. The T-90 adds a new laminated armor package, explosive reactive armor and an electronic countermeasures suite.

What’s the difference between the T-72 and T-90?

This shouldn’t be surprising, as the T-90 was originally called the T-72BU, essentially another upgraded T-72. The T-90A did get a new turret but the hull and system remain extremely similar.
