MBT "Experiment 907" has been completed, and has been designated the T-90 Dannaya. The Dannaya is a radical modification plan to modernize the existing T-90 MBT.

The T-90 Dannaya weighs less than the current MBT, the T-100 and T-100A. The T-100A weighs around 80-90 tons. The T-90 Dannaya weighs in at around 60-70 tons. The weight difference is mostly due to the somewhat weaker armor, and simpler construction. The Dannaya's armor is 490mm at the front (with a spaced block aswell) and 200 at the rear. The side armor is an interesting part of the vehicle, as it has a gigantic wedge of sloped, spaced, lightweight composite armor skirt mounted on both sides of the vehicle.

While the side armor (without the spaced skirt) is only 200mm thick, it has 119mm of spaced armor which is also highly sloped. The interior of the armored skirt is made up of a dense, lightweight mesh-like material which is designed to detonate warheads prematurely and stop them from doing any actual damage to the vehicle. There are also small ERA blocks shattered throughout the inside of the skirt to increase a premature detonation.

The turret armor is 400 at the front, 300mm at the sides and 190 at the rear. There are many blocks of spaced, ERA and composite armor mounted on the turret aswell, which also have the same features as the armored skirt on the side of the vehicle. The effective thickness of the turret is 500/370/220.

Firepower is comprised as a new type of laser, the 2A7M1 laser. The penetration has been increased to 1000-2500mm of penetration. For the first time in awhile, this laser is not an autoloading weapon. It is a single shot weapon with a rate of fire of 10 rounds per minute. Secondary weaponry is a KPV-971 laser machine gun.

Mobility is provided by a TD micro reactor which can propel the T-90 Dannaya to a top speed of 70kph. While being slower than the current MBTs in service, the H/T ratio is high.

Equipment include is what is currently used on the MBT T-100A Daria. The turret is fully automated and the tank has a 3 man crew. Advanced AI ensures the tank will still be running in full combat conditions even when one of the crew is knocked out.
