Are T-90A tanks being operated in Syria?

Photos of Russian appeared on the Internet tanks T-90A, and the captions under the photo indicate that these tanks were allegedly sent by Russia to Syria. The information about the location of Russian T-90A tanks in Syria is actually confirmed by the image of the preparations for the concert at the Khmeimim airbase of the Russian team Blue Berets. These images are also published by users of the global network. There is no information on the concert in Latakia on the band’s official website.

Initially, it was reported that the T-72B3 tanks could be located at the Khmeymim airbase, from which Russian attack aircraft, bombers and fighters fly into the sky of Syria. Information about the presence of Russian tanks in this country appeared at that very moment, as it became known that the air base in the province of Lattakia would be used as the main military base for the counter-terrorist operation by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation assisting the Syrian government army.

From the characteristics of the T-90A:

The mass of the tank is about 46,2 T. Crew - 3 man. The main armament: 125-mm smoothbore gun (launcher 2A46M-2). Ammunition - 43 shot, of which 22 ammunition is placed in the rotating conveyor of the automatic loader. With a tank gun paired machine gun. Ammunition machine gun - 2 thousand rounds. There is a TKN-4C sight. One of the main functions is the possibility of suppressing the enemy’s anti-tank complexes by the Shtora complex.

I don't understand why none of the "Arena" variants is installed on any Russian tank ...

Well, so soon Boreas will be found in the sands of the Sahara, they found a chebureshka in the territory of 404, in Syria I won’t be surprised if someone finds Topol M, so you need to wait for official statements, and on the Internet you have already found aliens from alpha centaurs.

[zanoza]

Why is it strange? Why can't our marine corps guard and defend the airfield complex be reinforced with a T-90 tank company?

It has long been infa on the site that the Marines have armored vehicles.

In my opinion, it is one thing to show in ideal conditions, and another is military operation. The system is most likely expensive and unreliable. Given its dimensions, small arms will be disabled quickly enough. SAA at least to hang DZ on all tanks would be both cheap and cheerful.

[Forest]

The arena is dangerous for the infantry accompanying the tank.

Application in real conditions is a good practice and find out what it can in combat conditions.

[just exp]

The T-90 is the modernization of the T-72, what new can we learn there? how does remote sensing work?

[cniza]

And the fact that as a result of modernization was applied it would not be bad to try.

[iliya87]

Are you smoking that ??? To protect our base in Latakia, air defense systems, airborne defense systems, landing troops and T90 tanks were sent there a month ago. The author lives in a parallel reality, the plot was on the first channel.

[cniza]

Yes, all this is understandable, but you can rent it, so to speak, together with the crew, but not for long.

He has a lot of new things relative to the T-72, for example, the armor is different (especially for the frontal armor, the tower itself, which is characterized by a different configuration), then you can test the curtain in combat conditions, as an example, and it’s also possible to drive the car in real combat conditions , given that the T-90, unlike the T-72, has not yet participated in real battles.
Although it can be assumed that these tanks are part of the ground cover forces of the airfield.

from here the conclusion in real combat conditions does not really drive out ... although it can if the company of tanks is transferred to the Syrians just for break-in, then ... there might be might be .. I would go for this option ...

Of course it's true! Marines guard our bases in Syria. Well, at the expense of tanks, I can say the following, when pictures of our airbase in Syria began to appear, from our "friends from the West," then our armored vehicles were clearly marked in these pictures and it was signed exactly as T90. Therefore, there is no sensation here.

[Albert1988]

Quote: Dangerous

True or not? Who thinks?

If you look closely at the pictures - then on the first in the post gjv and on the one in the article you can clearly see that to the left of the DZ blocks (between the DZ blocks and the installation of smoke grenade launchers) it is quite clearly visible that the tower in this place has an "angle" - which is typical for the T-90 (it has a tower - hexagon with unequal edges), and not rounded as in the T-72/80, plus the characteristic configuration of the DZ block on the tower, plus the "curtain" system (although theoretically it can be screwed onto any tank), which means it is more like a T-90 than " tuned "T-72.

[vorobey]

Quote: Albert1988

If you look closely at the pictures -

Theoretically, I admit that if there is 810, then it’s 126 brigade’s cars ... although in the last visit back in the 14th year there were 72 there ... although this is only an assumption ...

[svp67]

Quote: Albert1988

which means it’s rather T-90,

What else is said by another ZPU and the dimensions of the main sight ...

[SAM 5]

There is no official information, however. Even from πndos and their henchmen.

Are T-90A tanks being operated in Syria?

If used, then this is good news, modern tanks and not only tanks need Assad yesterday or even the day before yesterday

[Simon]

Yes, it would not hurt to test these tanks in battle.

[rotmistr60]

It is thought that if possible they’ll break in more than one type of weapon and b / t equipment.

[Victor-M]

Photos of Russian T-90A tanks appeared on the Internet, and photo captions suggest that these tanks were allegedly sent by Russia to Syria.

And where is it written that only "Abrams" are allowed to travel around the Middle East?

[Served once]

And not only in the Middle East. They also exist near Lugansk. "Partners" are getting closer and closer ...

[pascal309]

At the air base, this is nothing special. But if the Syrian army had such tanks, it would be much more interesting.

Asadovites will hardly be. We don’t have so many, but there are 72 tons in storage and you don’t need to retrain Syrians.

[Cosmos1987]

Send there the T-72B3 for testing, so that it would once again be convinced of the shit of DZ.

[roskot]

If delivered to Syria, then they will certainly be in business.

[kamski]

T 72 Dynamic protection "RELIKT"

[Saratovets]

So I don’t understand how, in this case, to cure T-90С from T-72

[Wedmak]

So I don’t understand how, in this case, to cure T-90С from T-72

By the "headlight" of the IR searchlight. The T-72 has one and is located on the right (and the B3 does not have one at all). The T-90 has two of them, on the sides of the gun. This is the most reliable way.

As well as the size of the main sight and another ZPU

[KGB WATCH YOU]

The T-90S is an export T-90. The RF Armed Forces are armed with the T-90A (to the left and right of the gun are the Shtora searchlights, the T-72 does not have them).

[KGB WATCH YOU]

On the T-72 is Contact-1 and Contact-5.

[mag nit]

Good news. God help them.

[alex-cn]

And why not, they are used to guard the base.

[Mihalich17]

Well, what kind of questions ???
Well, just like children !!!
In Syria, everything that needs to be "checked in operation" is now "exploited"!)))
All to you: "Tell me, tell me"!)))
Think for yourself!

[Diviz]

The armature must be run in.

[Cosmos1987]

A secret car with all its children's sores and into battle, and if this tank is captured, what then ???

[3 Gorynych]

What, Where, When ... On the Internet - on what sites? Or is it like "grandmothers on the bench are telling ..." there is nothing about it ... I agree with Mihalich17 - you yourself must understand ... what is the Syrian training ground ...

[CIANIT]

Considering how many T-72 and T-80 rust on BHVT it is possible to deliver them in packs, it would be useless.

[Indifferent]

It would be funny if all the newest had not been experienced in Syria. I would cease to respect our military leadership! Experiencing, well done! And the risk of death is always there! We are military guys, and I don’t think anyone got scared!
If I were not so old, I myself would have asked to Syria! We are real men! Is not it so?

Hello dear!
I saw your tank t-90, though an export version. When I was on business
in one of the countries of the narrow Caucasus.

Why now these questions began to arise. Initially it was said that T90 tanks were present to protect the airfield

[slaw14]

From the first days of the existence of our base, Latakia mentioned the strengthening of the perimeter of the T-90 airfield to 7 pieces. I don’t see anything new in the article. There was already an article on the site about the state’s concern for the quality of Abrams armor (captured by the IS) in the event of a clash with the T-90

[amba balamut 77]

And why be surprised, the Russian tank is guarding the Russian base. T-90A, T-90AS, T-72B3, BMPT and others may well pass the battle test. Then it will be easier to draw conclusions about what our sun needs. Although there is a simpler test option, for sure the Syrians can throw trophy birds, the same as TOW-2.

[kasperian_1]

Does it surprise anyone? In addition to the T-90 tanks, they use TOS1-Pinocchio, MLRS Grad, Smerch, electronic warfare systems and much more

[33 Watcher]

What's the news? The Marines who guard the base were reinforced with T-90 tanks. This is known from the very beginning of the operation.

[Gray 43]

Shtatniks have already photographed the entire base from satellites and put it on the network, Syria is not Ukraine, the batteries do not sit down)))))

[reklats34]

finally gabions began to use rather than sandbags

"bash thrower" he is a "bash thrower" .... even though the Ukrainian T64 ... at least T72 ... at least T90A .... they are related by the cap propellant charge akurat located on the circle of the tower! .... a metallic unitary charge .... another "tower thrower" will appear ....

[dv_generalov]

Good luck to everyone in combat!

[v.yegorov]

So what? Not all the life of the Syrians burn on the T-55, it is time to burn others.

[samara-58]

And if there is, then what ??? It will be necessary to send ARMATU and we will not ask anyone !!!

[cap]

You need to test everything new and new. Just in case, mine like Katyushas. Now it can be remotely detonated. But then, when the technique has been tested and it will be possible to sell it. On the advertising booklet, print "and from this window your window is visible ... but from this window in YOUR house you can see a cat ... "even if it is black and it is night outside.

T-90MS is well shot.
