T-90 是 T-72 主力戰車的進一步演進，1989 年由 UKBTM 設計局以 T-72BU（「188 號物體」）的名義創造出來，同年通過並順利完成國家試驗。這款戰車與技術更先進的「187 號物體」平行設計，但由於經濟情勢惡化，最後選擇相對簡單的 T-72BU 投入生產並改名為 T-90。
1992 年啟動有限量產。起初戰車配備類似 T-72B 的鑄造砲塔，後來改為焊接砲塔。
T-90 的射控系統大部分借用自 T-80U，並做了一些修改。「Shtora-1」光電紅外線干擾系統是該戰車防禦系統的標準配備，用來干擾來襲的 SACLOS 型雷射導引反戰車飛彈。
T-90 的防護水準較前代 T-72B 有顯著提升。服役之初，它幾乎能抵擋所有北約的反裝甲彈種。然而今日這個防護水準已不夠新，無法抵禦 M-829A2/M829A3 等最新的北約反裝甲彈。

The T-90 is a further evolution of the T-72 MBT, created in 1989 by the UKBTM design bureau as the T-72BU (“object 188”). The tank underwent and successfully completed state trials the same year. The tank was designed in parallel with the more technologically advanced “object 187”, but as a consequence of the worsening economic situation, the relatively simpler T-72BU was selected for production and e-named as the T-90.
Limited serial production was launched in 1992. Initially the tank was equipped with a cast turret similar to the turret of the T-72B, but this was later changed to a welded turret design.
The fire control system of the T-90 was largely borrowed from the T-80U with some modifications. The “Shtora-1” electro-optical IR jamming system is a standard feature of the tank’s defense systems, used to jam incoming SACLOS type laser-guided anti-tank missiles.
The T-90’s level of protection is a significant improvement over its T-72B predecessor. At the time of service entry, it was capable of withstanding nearly every NATO anti-armor round. Today however, this level of protection is no longer current and cannot defend against the latest NATO anti-armor projectiles such as the M-829A2/M829A3.
