A close encounter with a T-90M mod 2022

cool looking tank

What is the difference between the mod 2022 and the previous?

Full length Relikt sideskirts instead of the 2/3rd length ones with slat at the back, new roof era arrangement, Kontakt-1 on the LFP.

@_Moonslayer Wait then wtf is this then?

@_Moonslayer That is T-90M with Arena-M which follows the mod 2024 standards.

@_Moonslayer But they’re both relikt no?

@_Moonslayer I don’t understand your question here? Yes the ERA all T-90Ms are using is mostly Relikt, T-90M with Arena-M doesn’t stray from that. What are you specifically asking about? The addon cassettes? Or what?

@_Moonslayer Why does the 2022 have thin relikt and the 2024 one has ridiculously thick plates of it?

@_Moonslayer Those are addons on top of normal Relikt. All T-90Ms, T-72B3Ms or T-80BVMs can use it, and always could’ve, originally it was known as bag ERA.

This is 2023 january/april mod bruh

It’s all unofficial ID thing, and mod 2022 fits for identification purposes. It was the first big change to the normal T-90M. And in 2023 in fall another modification occurred which was built on further changes, which deserve mod 2023 name.

Well full hull side relikt (mounts for it) was first seen on turetless hulls at uvz only in January 2023

Yeah, and it doesn’t change what I written. Mod 2022 fits for it as a signifier of when that change was spurred on, and allows for cleaner separation of variants name wise for ID purposes. Having mod 2023 early, mid and late would needlessly complicate things .

Yeah i guess it works

Dont it more liie Obr/Mod 2023 or 2025? Since the Obr/Mod 2022 as i know still use Slat armor to protect the engine

Mod 2022 was full relikt sideskirts, new roof era arrangement and K1 on the LFP, it still retained slat on the back tho. Mod 2023 dropped the colimator based MRS, and started introducing back Relikt coverage. So that there was no slat left on the hull.

Ah i see, thanks for more information

You’re welcome! As a tease i can say i will be releasing something very handy in regards to identification of T-90 variants soon.

Do you more video of T-90M
