T-90 used to be called T-72BU. T-14 is a completely new chassis.

Abrams Has Better Accuracy at Long ranges

But T-72B3 has Fast mobility

Both has Comparable Atgms And Sabot rounds

But russian has More Ability to mass Produce It Will Negate M1 Abrams Advantages

USA has Better APS Protection

yeah its pretty Evenly matched Tanks Likes T-90 MS And T-90M are Over Kill for Abrams M1A1, M1A2 ,M1A3

Who would have thought USA Will Be Overlapped by Russians 2020

russians just following their soviet ideology that quantity is quality itself

While T-72B3 is better than earlier variants, it cannot be on par with M1 Abrams class because the latter is more accommodating and safe design for technologies and crew respectively.

Actually Quality of armour T-72b3
Is better accept M1A3 and M1A4

What gives US edge it's Far superior APS
And it's engagement at long range accurately

T-72B3 armor values are as follows:

Turret and hull front without ERA = 720mm vs. KE
Turret and hull front with ERA = 1260mm vs. KE
Turret and hull sides without ERA = 360mm vs. KE
Turret and hull sides with ERA = 630mm vs. KE
Turret and hull rear = 180mm vs. KE

Ammunition storage arrangement is LEGACY (vulnerability):

In contrast:

AMERICAN exclusive variants receive depleted uranium mesh for added protection:

"The composite armor reinforced by depleted uranium gives the M1A2 the toughest armor in any tank on the surface of the planet."

Further protective measures can also be applied upon demand:

Ammunition storage arrangement is SEPARATE (safe):

The latest variant of M1 Abrams is identified as M1A2C and its armor specifications are CLASSIFIED.

M1 Abrams class can exceed 70 tons in weight for a reason.
