It has been designed to engage enemy armored vehicles, troops, fortifications and low-flying helicopters in day/night and all-weather conditions. Its main armament is a 125mm 2A46M-2 smoothbore gun which can launch rounds as well as anti-tank missiles, a coaxtial 7.62mm machine gun, and a 12.7mm machine gun for anti-aircraft purposes. The 125mm gun features an autoloader system with 22+20 rounds.

The advanced fire control system with two sights provided to the gunner and the commander means hunter-killer capability for the T-90S MBT. Multi-layer armor, Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA), and an TShU-1 Shtora-1 advanced electro-optical countermeasures system provides enhanced survivability against anti-tank weapons, even against those features top-attack mode. The Shtora-1 system has IR-emitters and laser countermeasures.

The T-90S is powered by an economic V-84MS multi-fuel diesel engine with an optional 1,000-hp diesel engine available for export customers. The T-90SK is a command and control version featuring improved communications.
