The Strategic Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports that Ukrainian formations allegedly managed to capture 15 Russian T-90 "Breakthrough" tanks. This message is quoted by the Ukrainian press, there is no confirmation of it from the Russian military department.
As you know, the T-90M is one of the most modern Russian tanks. The development of these tanks began in the early 2000s. The Ukrainian military claims that the tank resembles the T-72 in its characteristics, but it has significantly stronger dynamic protection and an upgraded gun.
The tank has a complex of electron-optical active protection "Curtain". This complex has the ability to protect a combat vehicle from anti-tank guided missiles with a semi-automatic command guidance system or adjustable artillery ammunition. The complex forms an electromagnetic field around the combat vehicle, which allows it to be protected from guided anti-tank missiles of the enemy.
According to the Ukrainian military, French-made communication equipment was installed on the tanks allegedly placed at their disposal, as well as microchips that could have been purchased by Russian enterprises bypassing sanctions. The Ukrainian command stated that these boards are soldered from consumer electronics supplied to Russia.
It should be noted that since there is no official confirmation of the information broadcast by the Ukrainian side, it is impossible to guarantee its truthfulness.
