Looks like a T-90 update with a totally new turret..

I think it's a T-90MS. From what I remember, it's packin' modular armor.

Yeah, T-90MS... I wonder how many years should we wait for a(n) (accurate) 1/35 kit of that tank -.-

I believe the Russians refer to this new variant as the T-90AM (Object 188AM). The armor package is called Relikt (or Relic) and is set to replace Kontakt. As you can also see the commander's position has been seriously altered and now sports an RWS. The armor and additions to the turret also alters the shape of the tank quite a bit and you can see that the Shtora IR sensor boxes on the front are now gone in favour of a complete 'wraparound' armor configuration. As far as I know the AM is not in service yet, and I don't think the M is either at this point in time.

Some good reference pics here:

Picking up on what Jose said, I hope they do this version in plastic or even as a resin aftermarket set. Every time we hear news about Meng's T-90 they say it is 'T-90 Family' and I wonder if they are planning to do this version and perhaps the Bhishma. We can certainly hope !
