The Russian army received the first batch of these tanks only in 2020. The first batch was transferred to the 2nd Guards M. I. Kalinin Taman Motor Rifle Division of the 1st Guards Tank Army.

The T-90M Proryv (object 188M) was developed within the framework of the Proryv-3 and is an upgraded version of the main Russian T-90 tank, which in turn is an upgrade of the Soviet T-72 tank.

These combat vehicles received a fundamentally new turret and more powerful engine. The tanks were equipped with a new multi-channel sight, which ensured the use of weapons at any time of the day. Anti-accumulation screens and the Relict dynamic protection system are installed on the tank. It can also be equipped with the Arena-M active protection system.
