The T-90 project started as an upgrade of the T-72.
It was originally called the T-72BU.
The Soviet Union had a High/Low tank strategy, the High tech and most expensive tank for the elite units was the T-64 and its successor, the T-80.
The Low tech, low cost tank was the T-62 and its successor the T-72. This would make up the bulk of the Soviet forces and be exported and licensed to Warsaw Pact vassals.
The T-90 is just an upgraded second rate tank.
