Talk:T-90

Large-scale deletion
The following large and apparently well-sourced passage was deleted a month or so ago with an edit summary claiming it is all "pro-Ukraine propaganda", and it has not yet been reverted. Editors might want to review the deleted material to see if some or all of it should be reinstated, as I can't see a problem:

Edits reverts
I just wrote what is contained in the sources. I just updated the page's content (which is relied on a source from 2022 while the situation has obviously changed) using only reliable Western sources. XANTHO GENOS 5.5.2024 (talk) 12:02, 25 October 2023 (UTC)


 * The part that was actually about the T-90 has been restored to include what the source says about it. TylerBurden (talk) 20:09, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * When I saw this video I regretted it instantly. The only thing I could think about was people being killed. If this was intentional destruction by the operator please correct the caption. If it is not, please remove this video as I consider this graphic content. 2601:155:8403:EDD0:AC09:ADED:C5F8:4446 (talk) 10:27, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

 * I have many videos of US personnel getting killed by IED, RPG and snipers in Iraq.
 * Is that also allowed to be posted in the articles for Courag (MRAP), RPG-7 and SVD Dragunov? 37.162.243.147 (talk) 19:47, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I have no idea why you are bringing that up here, since it has nothing to do with this article. TylerBurden (talk) 20:54, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Renamed T-72
The article doesnt really explain T-90 was the T-72BU re-labelled, to remove this latest variant from the taint of the T-72s poor survivability in combat. It was originally to be renamed the T-88 (contraction of the internal design program); the designation T-90 was eventually adotped to imply it was the first 'new' tank design of the nineties. source: Zaloga: "T-90 Standard Tank" LoatesyJnr (talk) 13:02, 10 December 2023 (UTC)


 * T-72BU is actually another parallel development of the T-72 which used a completely different gun. 37.162.243.147 (talk) 19:45, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Spinning Turret Syndrome
This should be in the article somewhere: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2024/05/24/spinning-turret-syndrome-the-disastrous-bug-in-russias-most-modern-tank/?sh=4f4b9ee21ec0 Victor Grigas (talk) 11:44, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The suggestion to turn T-90s into turtle tanks to stop the turret from spinning seems deeply unserious. Schierbecker (talk) 20:03, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The article is under a "Senior Contributor", so that article's generally unreliable according to the reliable source list BarakHussan (talk) 16:01, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
