The war in Ukraine is the first time that Russia has deployed the T-90M tank "Breakthrough-3" in combat but analysts said that its debut had been underwhelming.
"At least one T-90M, Russia's most advanced tank, has been destroyed in fighting," the Ministry of Defence said. "The system’s upgraded armour, designed to counter anti-tank weaponry, remains vulnerable if unsupported by other force elements."
Russia has already suffered enormous losses on the battlefield, with many estimating the army has lost about 460 tanks alone.

Many have been destroyed by British-made Nlaw anti-tank missiles as well as armoured drones.
The loss of a T-90M heaps further embarrassment on the Kremlin, not least because each unit is reported to cost about £4 million.
With Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine stalling, the Kremlin has tried to inject more urgency and fight by deploying its most feared units and kit, including the T-90M which is considered to be the most technologically-advanced tank in the Russian army.
Analysts said that it had been held back until the end of April and had only been deployed in the Kremlin's push to capture the Donbas region.
