Video: Russia unveils its upgraded T-90MS tank for the first time
Russia, February 20, 2025 – Russia is showcasing its latest weapons that have been tested in high-intensity combat against Western weapons at the IDEX exhibition in Abu Dhabi, Rosoboronexport Director General Alexander Mikheyev said. For the first time, Russia is showcasing its modernized T-90MS tank, which is recognized for its advanced protection systems and robust design with multi-level defense mechanisms that can withstand various threats, including anti-tank missiles and conventional ammunition.
Russia is showcasing the export version of the modernized T-90MS tank:
“Our partners in the Middle East are traditionally interested in high-tech weapons that meet the latest global trends. At IDEX 2025, we are exhibiting the largest number of new weapons that have been tested in high-intensity combat and have met the latest weapons of Western countries,” he said.
Other weapons on display
The aviation weapons aroused great interest and include the new-generation Kh-69 low-signature precision cruise missile, the Kh-58UShKE anti-radar missile and the Grom-E1 guided missile, which are being exhibited abroad for the first time, as well as the K08BE smart bomb and the UPAB-1500B-E guided glide bomb.
“We are already conducting consultations on the exhibited samples with many partners, including from the Middle East. The share of Middle Eastern and North African countries in the order portfolio of the Russian state arms exporter Rosoboronexport is approximately 50%. Rosoboronexport’s joint military development and production proposals are particularly attractive to countries seeking to establish their own defense industry. Mikheyev also pointed to the company’s involvement in more than 20 projects with ten countries, which foresees significant growth. Current and future projects include the production of unmanned aerial vehicles, precision weapons and small arms, along with the joint development of armored vehicles by integrating Russian combat modules into the chassis of customers in their own countries.
