The Russian T-90M MBT - The greatest tank of the fourth generation of modern weaponry. This was the pinnacle of Russian (and world) armour technology for almost 15 years since its entry into service in 1993. Here are some reasons why it kicks ass:
The T-90 is equipped with Kontakt-5 explosive-reactive armour. While this isn't the newest ERA, it can protect up to 30% of most western kenetic energy penetrators.
Also for defensive purposes is the ARENA active protection system. It is an automatic defensive system that can intercept, destroy, or interupt incoming ATGMs at a range of 25-50m.
One of the main features of the T-90 is its use of the 9M199M Refleks ATGM that can be fired through the 125mm gun as a follow-through if the main shell fails to destroy the enemy vehicle.
Other features include an autoloader for the 125mm gun, 12.7mm AA machine gun, 7.62 machine gun, ESSA thermal imaging equipment, time fuse for HE-FRAG ammo, anti-radar paint coating, welded turret, satallite navigation, and air conditioning.
