T-90 Standard Tank - The First Tank of the New Russia (New Vanguard 255)
As a result of the poor performance of the T-72 tank in the Gulf War of 1991, the Kremlin ordered the Russian tank industry to drop the designation T-72 in favor of the T-90 Vladimir. The T-90 was indeed an evolution of the T-72 family. However, the name change meant an important break in Russian / Soviet tank design history.
