On 27 September, the Russian Ministry of Defense published a video in which the training of the crews of the latest T-90M “Proryv” tanks, deployed by the troop group “Center”, is highlighted.
According to the ministry, the exercises took place on a training field in the rear area of the war zone with Ukraine, in what Russia calls the zone of the “special military operation”.

The tank crews practiced the technique of the fire offensive, a maneuver that combines offensive movement with successive shelling on simulated goals. They also trained in the use of hidden fire positions, in which terrain and fortifications were used to increase protection and responsiveness.
Importance of the T-90M “Proryv”
The T-90M is considered the most advanced tank employed by the Russian army. It is a modernized version of the T-90, equipped with a religious-reactive armor, an updated fire control system, active protection against anti-tank missiles and a 125 mm cannon that can fire different types of ammunition, including guided missiles.
Despite these technological improvements, however, the T-90M suffered high losses on the battlefield, mainly due to the massive use of Ukrainian kamikazedrones and FPV drones. Independent reports and OSINT analyzes indicate that dozens of copies have already been destroyed or badly damaged by drone attacks, which demonstrates the vulnerability of even the most modern tanks in the drone war.
Strategic Context
Military analysts interpret recent training courses as an attempt to increase the chances of survival and adjust the use of armored vehicles to the current reality, in which unmanned air threats have become one of the biggest challenges for mechanized troops.
