T-90

The T-90 is a Main Battle Tank in the Russian Federation's army.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
T-90s are the Russian military's most common tank, first appearing in the introduction to the mission "Goalpost" where a column is seen during coverage of the invasion of Europe. They appear in the mission itself opposing the advancing American forces, with several being destroyed as the M1 Abrams tanks advance. They are seen throughout the level "Bag and Drag", with an endless column of T-90s rolling up a road partway through the level until the player moves close enough to trigger it stopping. They later appear in "Eye of the Storm", engaging Czech Resistance fighters; in this mission they cannot be engaged effectively since the player has no suitable weaponry.

As the American force advances in Germany they appear again in "Scorched Earth", opposing German Leopard 2 tanks pushing into the city; three are painted for an A-10 airstrike by Frost, and later another is seen on a bridge attacking the German column; here, the player can destroy the tank.

T-90s also appear in Special Ops mode; in particular they are seen as enemies in Invisible Threat and Little Bros.

The T-90 has three main weapons; the main gun, the coaxial gun, and the commander's heavy machine gun; sometimes the latter is not actually fitted. Typically, a T-90 will only fire its main gun at scripted times, while the coaxial weapon can be used against the player if the tank is hostile and aware of them. The commander's HMG, if present, is manned by a soldier; killing him will prevent the tank attacking with the weapon.
