can you back it up?? T-90M has been just shown to Putin only in december last. in other words it is still a prototype!! for it to become operational the new autoloader has to be validated. it is still a long way from being operational.
besides indian TOT is for T-90S. so what makes you think it would be T-90M??
T-90S license manufacture

even for T-90S, russians have played traunt wrt TOT. and if at some point, india opts for T-90M when it becomes operational, there will be a hefty sum to be paid besides massive changes to the present T-90S which means more time and money.
