Until recently, it was believed that the Syrian government forces lost a total of six T-90 main battle tanks during the fighting. However, judging by the photos that appeared on the Web, one more "ninetieth" will probably have to be added to this number.
It is reported that the tank was destroyed in October 2019 by Turkish troops or pro-Turkish formations. It can be assumed that an anti-tank missile system was used. The hit of the ATGM led to an explosion of ammunition, as a result, it tore off the tower with weapons. She rolled over and fell on the hull. Also, the shock wave knocked out the support rollers.
Nothing is reported about the fate of the crew, although it is possible that the fighters, as has happened many times, were able to leave the stricken car.
In total, according to foreign experts, the Syrian government forces lost 75 units of various armored vehicles in 2019, while the militants used 159 ATGM of various types.
