Do not go by the specs...Saudi Arabia doesn't have T-90 tanks. And besides a 1000hp engine isn't good for a 45-50 ton tank, not enough mobility. You at least need a 1200hp engine. Also, the tank isn't much different than the T-72 later versions which were only in service of the Russian Army, thus T-90 was only designed for export.

......@Major Shaitan Singh An indigenous 125 mm smooth bore gun developed by DRDO for the T-90S's with a 'modified chemistry barrel' of the existing T-72 gun has gone into production having completed trials in 2010. This modified chemistry barrel has also successfully completed a life cycle test conducted at Armoured Corps Centre & School Ahmednagar. The last two years have also seen the indigenization of the T-90S's commander hatch control unit, indigenous production of 50 types of critical optical components of the T-90Sand indigenously developed cable harnesses for the same. Overall the latest batches of T-90Ss will be between 80-90 percent indigenous by value.
An indigenous 125 mm smooth bore gun developed by DRDO for the T-90S's.........When Sir....?
Great News Then......![]()

if we start to compare the two, arjun and T90, can any one precisely tell about the similarities.. like armour capability, range, etc..




Thanks For The Info Sir....The Russian OEM refused to transfer technology vital assemblies such as the gun system (including the barrel) and turret armour plates. This eventually lead us to develop a handful of such critical technologies if not all, by our own. Similar smooth bore guns are to feature in FMBT as well. The Russians are pretty reluctant when it comes to ToT and so are others

Thanks to the Arjun MBT project - we didn't had to develop everything from the scratch - In fact other sub-systems developed by DRDO for the Arjun Mk-2 program are to be featured in the T-90S including CVRDE's ERA Mk-II. A DRDO developed commander's non panoramic thermal imaging sight for the T-90S has also entered production with Bharat Electronics Limited and the Ordnance Factory Board. The T-90S will also use indigenous high accuracy fibre optic gyros developed by DRDO's Research Center Imarat (RCI) and feature fire control systems originally developed for the Arjun Mk-2.
The T-90S upgrade path is similar to that followed for modifying T-72M1s to the CIA standard which includes indigenous ERA, navigation aids, an uprated 1000 HP power pack, fire suppression system, new displays and sights...
