Both T-90A and T-72B3 MBTs still lack a rooftop-mounted RCWS equipped with armament and sensors. However, T-90MS has yet to be adopted by Russia`s Ministry of Defense (MoD). The tank received an unmanned station armed with Kalashnikov PKT machinegun chambered for 7.62x54Rmm cartridge. The indigenous defense industry received its first experience of RCWS integration during the development of T-90MS (M stands for upgraded, Modernizirovanny) Tagil MBT.
T-90A tanks, as well as T-72B3 / T-72B3M should receive rooftop-mounted RCWS, being able to eliminate hostile infantry, Russian defense analysts suppose. At the same time, the T-90A`s organic AA weapon station comes short of modern remote controlled weapon stations as it lacks elevation angle.
Syrian governmental forces highly estimate remotely controlled NSVT Utes anti-aircraft heavy machinegun chambered for 12.7x108mm cartridge as it allows eliminating of terrorists in tower-blocks during operations in urban terrain. T-90A main battle tank has made its combat debut in Syria. Russian main battle tank T-90A is fitted with a remote weapon station mounted on the turret roof armed with one 12.7 mm PZU-7 heavy machine gun.
