Russia has been very busy lately so I'm going to just focus on them here...

1) T-90A (S export version) is being upgraded to the T-90M as noted below

2) Following repayment of Russian debt to South Korea in the late 1990's and early 2000's, some of this equipment is going back to Russia. My concern here is are all those ATGW systems in the ROK OOB?

3) ARMATA/T-14 items...

4) The T-72B3 will be the "backbone" of Russian Airborne armored units.

5) T-80U very much alive and active.

6) Thirty years later and still a frontline tank.

7) T-90MS getting A LOT of interest from other than India. Not mentioned below is Kuwait as well. They're involved in the same talks with Saudi Arabia.
