Not exactly impressive, since Chobham/Burlington will show nothing but dings and maybe a few gouges from that.
Yes, but significantly less than on leopard/abrams type tanks. Added to the fact that the T90 is essentially a tank based off a T55 (1947! But almost alien in comparison) Can you really expect a tank 13 tons lighter to protect just as well?
