125 mm 2A46, 125 mm smoothbore tank gun, Tanks125 mm 2A46125 mm smoothbore tank gunBuilt by: Artillery Plant No. 9 / Motovilikha PlantsThe 125 mm 2A46, factory-designated D-81TM, is the Soviet smoothbore tank-gun family that superseded the early 2A26 line and became the standard main-armament lineage for many later Soviet and Russian main battle tanks. This relationship-only component page documents the gun's identity, variants, carrier tanks, builders, ammunition context, and media without inheriting the conflict rows of T-72, T-80, or T-90 carrier records.
T-90S/T-90SA tank, Export main battle tank, Tanks2020 Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict, 2014 Russia-Ukraine WarT-90S/T-90SA tankExport main battle tankBuilt by: UralvagonzavodThe T-90S/T-90SA tank page covers the export branch of Russia's T-90 main battle tank family, centered on the T-90S marketed by Rosoboronexport and the T-90SA designation seen in export service. Azerbaijan fielded T-90S-family tanks in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh fighting, while Russian T-90S losses have also been visually documented in Ukraine; the record keeps subvariant labels conservative where sources identify only T-90S.
T-72B, Main battle tank, Tanks2014 Russia-Ukraine WarT-72BMain battle tankBuilt by: UralvagonzavodThe T-72B is a late Soviet T-72 main battle tank variant that paired the three-person, autoloaded T-72 layout with improved turret and glacis protection, a 2A46M 125 mm gun-launcher, and 9K120 Svir guided-missile capability. In the Russia-Ukraine War it appears both as an older Russian tank type documented in battlefield-loss records and as overhauled Czech-industry stocks financed by the United States and the Netherlands for Ukraine.
T-80, Main battle tank, Tanks2014 Russia-Ukraine War, 2014 Yemen Civil War +1 moreT-80Main battle tankBuilt by: Leningrad Kirov Plant / Omsktransmash / Malyshev FactoryThe T-80 is a Soviet-designed main battle tank built around a compact three-man layout, autoloaded 125 mm gun, and gas-turbine mobility in most major variants. It has appeared in very different combat settings: Russian T-80s fought in Grozny during the 1994 First Chechen War, Russia and Ukraine both operate T-80-family tanks in the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War, and Houthi-aligned forces have displayed T-80BV tanks in Yemen.
T-90, Main battle tank, Tanks2014 Russia-Ukraine War, 2011 Syrian Civil WarT-90Main battle tankBuilt by: UralvagonzavodThe T-90 is a Russian main battle tank family developed from the late Soviet T-72B line and built by Uralvagonzavod. This baseline page covers the original T-90 and Russian-service T-90A/T-90AK branch, separating it from the catalog's export T-90S/T-90SA and modernized T-90M records. Direct conflict evidence places T-90A-family tanks with Russian forces in eastern Ukraine and in the full-scale Russia-Ukraine War, and with Syrian government forces and later captured users during the Syrian Civil War.
