Before I post this update concerning the the RESET upgraded T-90S, I must apologize to whdonnelly (Will) and some others, I was asked to provide any additional information I had concerning the SCIMITAR MKII,
See Pg. 17 Posts #165 & #166, as these were
RESET units with significant upgrades I said I would enter these on my next Patch Post. Unfortunately I will offer no other reasons except that I simply forgot to do it. However rest assured that it will be item one on the MBT list for the 2012/2013 campaign, this came up as a result of the next item. I do want to point out that I actually recieved a couple of PMs concerning my post on the SCIMITAR MKII as well, it's the only piece of equipment that I've said or have put on the PP lists for submission to generate that kind of interest, more for sentimental reasons I think. And why not it's better protected and has already saved lives, see the last two refs below. So again my apologies and here's some more info for you.

Alright now here's the update for the T-90S
RESET it will apparently be faster with a modified new engine, have both a new FCS and ERA that was mt for the T-95, with other refinements as well. I think it safe to consider this MBT much like the new Turkish LEOPARD-2T (Or "NG" Next Generation by commercial name.) the final stepping stone for the Turks to the ALTAY and for the Russians to the ARMATA. We'll soon get a look at the T-90S RESET at the end of the month in India.
