Zegan Remote control Tank T90 1:18 Russian Russia Ukraine. Ex shop stock, box has been opened. Box measures 54 x 22 x 31 cm. Tank is 35cm long including barrel nearer 45cm.

Total weight including box near 2.75kg. T he T-90 tank is a further development of the T-72B Main Battle Tank (MBT).

The T-90 is equipped with precise weapons laying systems enabling the crew to engage ground and air targets. The T-90 MBT was developed at the Kartsev/Venediktov Bureau, `Vagonka' at Nizhnyi Tagil.

The T-90 MBT was shown for the first time outside Russia in March 1997 when it was demonstrated in Abu Dhabi. By September 1995, some 107 T-90 tanks had been produced, located in the Siberian Military District. By mid-1996 some 107 T-90s had gone into service in the Far Eastern Military District.

In 2007, there were about 334 T-90 tanks serving in the Russian Ground Forces' 5th Guards Tank Division, stationed in the Siberian Military District, and seven T-90 tanks in the Navy. Some 31 new T-90 tanks were expected to enter service in 2007, and 60 in 2008. The Russian Federal Service for Defence Contracts (Rosoboronexport) announced in July 2008 that a new tank (which rumour has previously referred to as the T-95) was due to be introduced in 2009, but development was cancelled in May 2010. A fabulous piece of kit. I include 3xAA batteries not in the box but needed for the remote.
