Russia\u2019s main battle tank manufacturer, Uralvagonzavod, has started delivering advanced T-90 battle tanks to the Iraqi army under a major deal struck between Moscow and Baghdad earlier this year.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\t\u201cThe contract is being implemented in accordance with the schedule approved by the parties,\u201d the press office of Russia\u2019s Federal Service for Military and Technical Cooperation announced in a statement on Thursday, presstv.ir reported.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Russian presidential aide for military-technical cooperation, Vladimir Kozhin, told Izvestia daily newspaper on July 20 that \u201ca significant contract for a large batch\u201d of T-90 tanks has been signed between the Iraqi government and Russian manufacturer\u00a0Uralvagonzavod.<\/p>\n

\n\tKozhin did not disclose any information about the price of the deal, but said \u201cthe number [of tanks] is substantial.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tUralvagonzavod had announced in mid-July that it was going to deliver 73 T-90S and T-90SK tanks to the Iraqi military this year.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe T-90 is a third-generation Russian battle tank built upon the time-proven Soviet T-72 design.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is among the best-selling tanks in the world, known for its firepower, enhanced protection and mobility.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe T-90 features a smoothbore 2A46M 125mm main gun, which can fire both armor-piercing shells and anti-tank missiles.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe advanced tank also features sophisticated armor, ensuring all-round protection of the crew and critical systems, including explosive reactive armor and active infrared jammers, to defend it from inbound rocket-propelled grenades, anti-tank missiles and other projectiles.<\/p>\n

\n\tIndian, Algerian and Azerbaijani militaries have purchased hundreds of T-90 battle tanks in past years. Kuwait, Vietnam and Egypt have also expressed strong interest in buying the tank.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Iraqi military plans to reinforce its fleet of M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks with T-90s. A large number of American M1A1 Abrams tanks have been damaged in the fight against Daesh Takfiri terrorists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
