Russian tanks, plus reactive armor and thermal imaging? I'm impressed! I hope this will get the job done and accomplish that goal Obama always claims to embrace - end the war. [The nice thing about Putin is that when he "ends" a war, he does so by winning it.]

As impressive as the T-90 is, wait til you see the T-14 Armata ... it has a 3 man crew inside a titanium armored compartment - entry hatch is inches thick - unmanned turret, fully serviceable in war zone by crew. Only delays in production will be fancy electronics going awry during testing. And will be very quiet. Due 2018. And is part of a family of 3 vehicles using the same tracked chassis.

One T-90 driver reported taking 7 rpg hits and one tow hit with no damage ... main gun effective up to 2,700 meters, autoloader - 8 rounds/pm even moving; 40 round mag; autoloader uses 22, rest loaded manually.
