MOSCOW, February 22. /TASS/. Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev called the T-90M "Proryv" tank the best in the world.

"We have tanks that have proven themselves brilliantly during the special op period - the T-90M 'Proryv,' which the president [Putin] called the best tank in the world recently. I would like to fully share this position," Medvedev said, answering a question from TASS.

He added that all his conversations with people involved in the special military operation, both at military grounds and at the contact line, "prove that this is exactly the case."

"Battle commanders that come back from the frontline and order equipment, they asked to help with obtaining the T-90Ms. It is a very good weapon," the official added.

Speaking about why Russia does not use the newest equipment, such as the T-14 Armata tank, Medvedev noted that "the Armata is a new tank, which has not yet fully passed all trials." At the same time, he emphasized that this is also "not the cheapest of tanks."

"Parades are parades, and war is war. These are totally different things," the politician concluded.
