Russian propaganda glorifies the actions of the T-90 tank, one of the most modern tanks of all, which appears to be used in large numbers at the front for the first time. Video captured from the turret of one of these vehicles shows an impressive volume of fire: the cannon fires continuously. The 125mm shells literally destroy a building that collapses at the end of the film: the automatic loading system allows you to shoot 22 times without a break. In addition, the aiming thermal sight, supplied by a French company, allows the crew to identify the targets despite the cloud of dust and smoke. Currently, the Moscow generals are also sending to the fore the T90s produced for export and destined for countries such as India, Iraq and Egypt: tanks with low-tech equipment of the latest version adopted by the Kremlin. Small note: the T90 is officially named Vladimir, not in honor of Putin but in honor of the late designer Vladimir Potkin.
