Despite the fairly good protection of the T-90M Proryv tanks and their low losses from anti-tank mines and ATGMs, the T-90M tank continues to be modernized. In the 2024 version of the T-90M tank, there will be new protection on the turret and other upper parts of the tank from attacks from FPV drones. New coating and mesh will be installed on and around the tower to prevent internal shrapnel damage. The main innovation is the strengthening of the frontal armor with new dynamic protection units, which are thicker. Thanks to the new protection, tanks will be able to participate in frontal attacks with fewer losses. Changes will also be made to the fire control system, thermal imaging cameras, night vision cameras, and rangefinder. There are no details on these systems. The aiming systems and various suspension and engine parts will also change. It is reported that a pilot batch of 36 tanks is already being tested. Whether all this will go into series is still unknown.
