I'm posting an updated article concerning the capture yesterday of that
T-90M. It appears it threw a track on the left side.
Also, the crew appeared to make no attempt to destroy it or its more sensitive components.
Of particular interest is the fact it has the latest gunner's sight which is made
completely of Russian components.

There's more in the article including another
prototype tank I don't recall hearing about the
T-80UM2. Conjecture is that's the Prototype or even the BLACK EAGLE which was capable of mounting a
125mm/135mm/140mm and 152mm main gun.
The
BLACK EAGLE was
my first post in this thread. It would be nice to know it saw combat and met a fitting end if that's the case though I think we might never know the truth of that.
What's also important about these two tanks (
T-80UM2 and
T-90M.) is the technological "
linkage" over time from about
2000 to 2020 or present. We can learn a lot about their
developmental and
R&D processes.
