Tank production in Russia has seen a significant shift lately. The T90M Proryv, the latest iteration of the T90, has become a top priority, promising a leap forward in capabilities.

In a recent move sparking speculation, Uralvagonzavod, Russia's leading tank producer, released a captivating video showcasing its entire production line. This nearly 18minute glimpse includes the assembly process for the T72, its upgraded T72B3 variant, and the muchanticipated T90M Proryv. A particularly noteworthy segment focuses on Workshop 130, where the heart of these tanks – their hulls – are meticulously built.

The documentary seems to be a strategic move by Russia to convince the global audience that its tank production is thriving, with the T90M receiving top billing. Deputy Director Aleksey Kalityuk reinforces this message within the video by revealing a threeshift system to maintain the accelerated pace. He adds that Uralvagonzavod has been operating at full capacity for over two years since the Ukraine conflict began, hinting at an uninterrupted and robust production line.

Now, beyond the marketing blitz, what truly differentiates the two tanks? What makes the T90M a potential gamechanger on the battlefield, and why is Russia prioritizing this tank over the T72B3?
