Moreover, it is excellent also in the strategy ability at mobile power of the supply also of the cross a river function to which it can go across the infrared sensor and the river of five meters in depth (The attachment that can be installed in 20 minutes is necessary) etc. and nighttime. Weight is the lightest in the tank of 46.5 tons and these types.

The schedule in a Russian army that introduces this T90-S by 31 cars (battalion level of 1 piece?). Moreover, it is reported that China and Iran, etc. were having interest in this demonstration.
