In 'Thunder Run' (David Zucchino) I read that the Abrahms can survive 15 RPG hits without effect (besides girlie mags burning in the luggage).
Therefore, one Abrams is worth about 2 T-90s.
-But-, the American crews will hit their own tanks to effect. The Russian crews will also fire at their own tanks, but with those tube missiles that can be stopped by Shtora.
According to simulation projections, half of each force will be destroyed by fire. The remainder will become stuck on bridges, partially submerged in rivers, or navigating the town's roads in an endless loop, until becoming trapped between two buildings.
American casualties burn their disabled tanks and are treated for hearing loss and PTSD. The T-90s jettisonable canopy and pyrotechnic ejection system fails to live up to expectations.
