BTR-90 (ROSTOK)

[planetary109]

Is there an English version of this? I can't understand what they're saying.

[ThePlaidFace]

lol Gladiator music.

[zero00tolerance]

Russian have the best APC in the world low profile deadly looking.

[TATARSTAN59500]

with kobra turret is the best but kobra turret have 4 kornet so bye bye stryker and lav-25

[SnowManIsCalledJeti]

How the hell these giants can float on water?

[OSETINKAVKAZ12INCHES]

@SnowManIsCalledJeti their drunk drivers. and omg what a stupid question man.

[HARVSTO]

I want one.

[Lemaure44]

Superb.

[billyasik]

Best APC so far,

[G4pcta]

oh fuck i want one...even if it wouldnt have the gun....it just looks soooo sexy

[shtoksy]

veeeery interesting !!! :) :) :) :) :)

[thetopbannana]

This is a mix of several BTR-90 types

[thetopbannana]

Lets clear some things up for you

The basic BTR-90 an APC armed with a MG & 30mm cannon.

Some also mount a grenade launcher.

There is a fire support version with a 100mm cannon for use vs infantry not armour & it mounts an ATGM.

The Rostok is the latest incarnation & is an IFV armed with MG 30mm cannon ATGM (you can see it on top) & grenade launcher.

It is also uparmored & has modern firecontrol. It is therefore a wheeled version of a BMP or Bradley but better than both except in armour

[BitnikGr]

@thetopbannana BTR (as an APC) cannot be better or worse than BMP or Bradley (IFV). They have different purposes and different roles on battlefield. Like a pick-up and sedan for one family. Wheeled APC (like BTR) will never follow tanks in battle!

[thetopbannana]

@BitnikGr What rubbish yes slighyly diffrent roles but what are you talking about "Wheeled APC like BTR will never follow tanks in battle!"

Total rubbish statement Russia has how many BMPs of all types & how many tanks.

Some formations are of course set up with tanks & BTRs in them, rather a lot in fact.

If your talking tanks operating in infantry support role then BTRs with them would be very very common.

[BitnikGr]

@thetopbannana Are you nuts? Wheeled vehicle by default has worse mobility than tracked ones. Tracked APCs/IFVs can follow tanks wherever they go... on all terrain. Otherwise tanks will be restricted to roads and terrain where wheeled vehicles can go.

[8059875]

about the armor...It is standard that most apcs have protection against 14mm and shrapnel so that they can have better range and speed by being light as well as ability to float even in the west(except floating) and if needed additional plating can be added as well as ERA which will protect it against old rpgs and anti-tank weaponry.And BTR-90 performs far better in almost all areas vs Lav-25/Stryker/Type 92 its immediate comparisons.

[simonguitarra]

100 para venezuela mas 400 bmp-3 agarrence colombianos

[joangradourss]

esos btr siempre han sido peligrosos en combate urbano son excelentes y en llano imaginatelos!! esos colombianos tiemblan viendo ese y si ven un bmp bno...............!!!

[ReDDDgo]

russia-vs-usa . ucoz . com

[patrikasLTL]

The old BTR series were just meant as a transport vehicle. to protect its passangers from possible ambushes by NATO troops and to return fire from its machinegun and gunports and deliver the troops to the frontline across any road or river.

Today, in the era of local conflicts, the transporting infantry can be attacked anywhere, thats why they needed not just an up-armored carrier but something with another level of protection and capability to return-fire.

[andreyRUS17]

надо по бокам решетки пределать,чтоб рпг-7 не брал

[BitnikGr]

@andreyRUS17 А может не надо придумывать заморскую фигню а вместо этого устанавливать свое изобретение?

Решетка решетке рознь. На разных моделях действует с разной эффективностью. Увеличивает вес и дисбаланс и без того высокой машины. С эффективностью против РПГ-7 в 50%.

Не лучше вместо этого динамическую защиту устанавливать? А еще лучше активную... Дешево, сердито, эффективнее, плавучесть остается.

[andreyRUS17]

@BitnikGr это не заморская фигня,а придумали ее в ссср.

от динамической защиты толку никакого не будет-вешать ее на тонкую броню.

активная- вариант,но выйдит в несколько раз дороже обычной решетки.

[BitnikGr]

@andreyRUS17 Если честно, я не знаю где ее придумали. Но почти везде ее называют "гетто-армор", потому и решил, что изобретение заморское. Динамическая защита может быть эффективна на противопульной броне. БМП-3 тому пример.

Сколько это будет стоит зависит от жадности и взяток, которые уйдут в карманы чиновникам и генералам. Арена стоит 400.000, но она уже устаревшая. Трофи стоит 300.000. Я уверен, что такая решетка для Страйкера мейд ин ЮэСэЙ запросто может стоить дороже $300.000!

[BitnikGr]

@andreyRUS17 Но в целом проблемы с решетками в другом. Они более эффективны на гусеничных машинах, которые более низкие по определению, и решетка может опускаться хоть почти до земли, защищая даже шасси. На колесной машине это невозможно, так как колеса должны поворачиваться. Установка решетки на большой дальности от брони нарушает баланс, машина становится более неустоичивой на поворотах и может перевернуться. Установка решетки увеличивает вес и машина может потерять плавучесть.

[andreyRUS17]

@BitnikGr если я не ошибаюсь,на бмп-3м стоят блоки,но это не динамическая защита.броня бмп-3 так же слаба для применения динамической защиты.там блоки и в них специальный материал.на модернезированных т-6* стоят такие.

не думаю,что решетки будут сильно мешать балансу.они не такие уж и тяжелые...

[BitnikGr]

@andreyRUS17 Плюс дополнительный вес и нагрузка на трансмиссию со всеми вытекающими последствиями в износе узлов. По-этому анти-рпг решетка на бмп2/М113 - да. На колесных бтрах Страйкер, БТР-90 итд лучше не надо.

[Acid2Rider]

Hell March in the background lol

[ghostkiller2125]

Awesome firing with night vision!!

[Wilmot1846]

Never been in one, but looks cramped even by Russian standards, I bet thats why you saw all the troops riding on top during the war with Georgia.

[zaco21]

If I'm right the Soviet inspired APCs and IFVs are equiped with missiles. For example the Fahd 240/280 and the BTR-3. The western armies don't equip their APCs and IFVs with missiles. Probably the Armor is better in western countries. I heard that the BTR-90 has some problems with the armor in some points. That would explain the fact that they equip the BTR-90 with missiles, to compensate for the lack of defensive capabilities.

[ALXger5]

The old vehicles were armour-plated bad ones (BTR-60,-70,-80).

Their armour plating was against 7.62 mm and shells.

He made a distinction between BTR-90 and older models. He has stronger armour plating, Better armed, stronger engine and new fire leading system. This is explained in the video.

Topical BTR-90 which is already begun in a row has another tower. Not it was shown. He has tower of BMP-2M. You can see this tower on

watch?v=-jEgaG2AXPw 0:48 - ...

[darkon112]

@ALXger5 Most APC's had and still have same amour protection as the old BTR's. 7.62 mm side protection and either .50 BMG or 14.5 mm front protection.

[Frost2k6]

Some Western Armies have IFVs and APCs have AT missiles, such as the U.S. Army's Bradley and the British Army's Warrior. I'm going to agree with you that the armor on Western APC/IFVs is a bit tougher. I think one of the reasons the Armor is often lighter on the Russian vehicles is because many of them are made to be amphibious, and it's quite obvious that if you want it to float you're probably going to have to skimp a little on armor.

[Drealias]

well BTR-90 aint infantry fighting vehicle it doesent need AT missles and big cannon ...the most sick part about new BTR is that the doors are on the sides ..when enemy attacks from the front or from the sides infantry cant exit safely

etc bmp has doors in the back .....perfect isnt it vehicle can turn himself giving shield for infantry........and i think you meant BMP or BMD-3

[zaco21]

If you look after information, BTR-90 is actually considered to be an infantry fighting vehicle. It has anti-tank missiles and a grenade launcher. I don't know if I'm right but I've heard that it still has some flaws in the armor compared to other armored vehicles. If it can only withstand 14.5 mm rounds from the frontal arc, the at the chapter rounds it doesn't have a better protection the the BTR-80 which can withstand the same in the front.

[BitnikGr]

@zaco21 "If you look after information, BTR-90 is actually considered to be an infantry fighting vehicle." - By whom? Which source does claim that? Manufacter and name itself state clearly that this is an APC and not an IFV.

[BitnikGr]

@Drealias "BTR-90 aint infantry fighting vehicle it doesent need AT missles and big cannon" - and this is probably the reason why Army doesn't buy it. Only police does.

"that the doors are on the sides " - in "normal" battlefield enemy is in trenches in front of you. So, you make doors in back. In low intensive wars and urban conflicts you put a vehicle as a shield and soldiers come out from other side.

[BitnikGr]

@zaco21 Wrong, wrong... and wrong. Western armies equip their IFV and APC with ATGMs. Maybe not every army or not every model, but even old Marder can fire ATGM (of course it has to stop, open hatch, two ppl have to take their heads off for 30 seconds in order to put an ATGM on top and fire and then go back under armor). However Bradley has 7 TOW missiles and just recently Stryker was certified for use of Javelin ATGM.

-

Protection of ALL classic APC/IFV are in similar level. Anti shrapnel...

[BitnikGr]

@zaco21 ... anti personal firearms till 14.5, maybe 20mm. Only heavy APC/IFV (like Namer, BTR-T), which are based on tanks, can withstand anti-tank threats.

-

So, installation of ATGM on BTR-90 has nothing to do with "lack" of protection, but it sure increases its firepower, since every modern IFV/APC must present a threat to any hostile tank. But too much firepower can be its Achille's heel as well. Army might not be interested in so expensive vehicle only for troop transportation.

[RusWehrmacht]

I mean Russia developed lost of new battle technlkogy back in early 90s like the T-90 battle tank, BTR-90, BTR-T, AS VAL assualt rifle etc, etc, I mean what was Yeltsin thinking the country itself was a mess, why build defense round something liek a mess, first of all clean the mess up then bother about protecting it..

[RusWehrmacht]

What i find strange is back at early 90s the fact that MoD and Goverment of Russian Federation was too busy developing weapons for thier armed services, when the coutnry itself was in a terrible state due to recent collapse of soviet union,In my opinion it would have been a common sense they first of all spent money and bothering on re-building the coutnry itself and society, and then increasing the Defense spending and starting up projects developing new military technlogy.

[theGoldenAgeOfBoredo]

allo m8^^

im with you there!

and just take a look at north korea: 30% of their GDP on their army, whilst the rest of the country is starving..:-S

thx for sharing by the way!

[RusWehrmacht]

Agreed, hope you liked found that vid intressting, eventhough i think it would have been better if they used subtitles as im pretty sure you dont Speak Russian.

[theGoldenAgeOfBoredo]

i understud "panzier grendaier.."

the rest is pretty much self-explanatory..im sure he says: "this is better than anything the west ever cam up with" ^^

(in a sence)

[RusWehrmacht]

Not really, he doesnt exactly say that, but he strongly in any way promotes the BTR-90. As well as some history about the develpment of weapon and technical things, too long to explain....

[CROSS24EVER]

a council of men rule these countries pathogen. to move their empire in formation they make insensible things for countries occur. the oppositie of sensible. if sense prevailed; no UN world authority, yes? BANG now you understand. instate worldwide crises; racism must exist, so migration of foriegnors must exist. they have been doing this for 4000 years, i traced them to 4000 BC.quite before israel. when abraham ran from sumer because of semite invasion via gobi. aha. all became bums (hebrews)

[RusWehrmacht]

You said 'Semite Thugs' are you Anti Semtic by any chance? And well yes its all politics....

[CROSS24EVER]

the semites are commented upon by ramosis whom intuitively knew how to defeat them in warfare...the battle of kadesh held babylon out of canaan.

while abraimic people settle in canaan,

they did so under egypts sway; the semites refer to the invaders from our of gobi, rapest and killers the whole lot; they came in the name of their god; marduk,.

and everything else is rape and death and high taxes since then. today they are behind the freak gets the girl idea. all freaks serve in UN.

[RusWehrmacht]

OK then....

[RusWehrmacht]

He also says that the BTR-90s main 30mm cannon compltely made a mess of German Leopard 1 tank during test trails, if that true, shame, a wast leopard 1 is very good tank.

[theGoldenAgeOfBoredo]

the 40mm bofors canon can also kill older tanks, so can some bushmasters and the thing on the future Puma. you shouldnt underestimate these little bastards^^

but for the "promoting", id love to understand it, especially the development history..

[RusWehrmacht]

Yes i know, the leo 1s were developed in late 60s...

[BitnikGr]

@RusWehrmacht Leopard 1 was never a "very" good tank. Germans dumped it quite fast and followed with design and production of Leopard 2.

[RusWehrmacht]

@BitnikGr Cant complain about the Leopard 2 though :) Although my knoweldge in armour is at its most basic.

[BitnikGr]

@RusWehrmacht Yeap, Leo2 is a fine example of great German engineering.

[CROSS24EVER]

if america were in control of english amerians would never be a problem with mexican gangdoms crossing over. but your country is NOT under control of english anymore. progressive decline of english in america,. policy to kill english.

soviet never made any sense because it was designed to make no sense; to russians. it was designed to advance empire system of jews (semites). they sacrifice each gov for themselves. they are preparing there power via merchanting to finance THEIR un. chaos 2 order

[linuxmustdie]

You simply can't to tell engineers and scientists: "Hey guys. We can't pay you today, so please go out and live on your own. When we have enough money, we'll invite you back". In fact those who were told so went to a new business and never returned.

[RusWehrmacht]

Wait a second to what was my original question again?

[lepricoun]

in this video they saeing the partisans have god equiüptment and many ammo of rpg,s

[actionman172]

How will it stand against RPG?

[paranoik1980]

No BTR in the world that can stand against RPG

[sfs706868]

it can but 2 rpg gonna be fatal :)

[CROSS24EVER]

btr 90 should, like all apc, not be used for

frontline work; it is logistic transport unit.

so 'behind the lines' and for breif engagment, real effective forces, tanks,

mi 28n and su 35 are meant for clearing the field in common theme, never seperate. armour without air support; dead. air without armour; dead. troops without any of these and in fact all, dead.

every vehicle IS a fatality upon second hit:)

[zaco21]

BTR-90 is an Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV). An APC doesn't have this type of attack power or deffensive power. That's the difference. An APC isn't developed to assist the soldiers during an attack with gun fire support, that's the IFV's job (besides caring them to the battle zone.

[RusWehrmacht]

First of all it depeneds what RPG model you are talking about, it makes great difference, as ancient RPG-2s have armour penetartion of about 200mm and something really new like RPG-32 has armour penetarinion of 650mm+ and ERA armour too.. The Javelin or AT4 are also deadly.

[RusWehrmacht]

The Russian Federation have been developing BTR-Ts heavy APCs, semi tanks practicaly, which were designed to be withstanding (or attempt to withstand ) against grende launcher fire (including anti tank grende launchers). The BTR-Ts are built on the frame of a T-55 Tank, cheap but simple. Also heard of new BMPTs? They are under developement to replace BMP-3s i think, defiantly BMP-2s and BMP-1s.

[andreyRUS17]

"arena" system

[obender71]

Arena? But it cost more of the APC. Nice system but I doubt we'll see much deployement, even on MBTs. A simplier, cheaper and lighter system, side only protection for a BTR, should be developed. Or an ugly but cheap slat armor add-on.

[andreyRUS17]

надо только поставить на btr-90 какую нибудь анти rpg систему

[alexsirghi]

da tipo ARENA

[andreyRUS17]

da,no dla nasego gosudarstvo vaznee dengi,chem bezopasnost soldat ili strani

[jcng5]

can a .50 caliber bullet penetrate thru it armour?

[ggkiler]

no even 30 mm have a big problem

[ghost1800]

Is it just me or are more and more shows on TV borrowing music from video games?

[Sovietworkers]

Yes it is. But there is also a tank destroyer being developed. It will be a wheeled version of the Sprud-sd. Basically it will be a 125mm mortar that will be mounted on the Btr-90. It will replace the 2s23 Nona-svk. Which is a 120mm mortar mounted on the Btr-80. So I'm pretty sure the Btr-90m will be dropped in favor of the 125mm Btr-90/Sprud.

[MultipleEFP]

B BTR-90M is way better armed and upgraded than BTR-90 !

[Sovietworkers]

There was also information that by 2010 the BTR-90 will replace the obsolete BTR-60. So I think more then 1000 will enter service because there are 2000 btr-60 in the Russian army. So I think there will be 2000 btr-90. Also the btr-90 will replace the Btr-80 and btr-70 by 2015-2020. Currently there are over 6000 btr-80 in the Russian army and around 4000 btr-70.

[MultipleEFP]

At that time russian GAZ corporation will develope new modells of BTR`s !

[Sovietworkers]

The BTR-90 was accepted for service by the order of the ministry of defense of the RF on June 9th 2008, becoming the first new apc to enter service since the creation of the modern Russian army.

[actionman172]

About time, but it could be in first chechen, and maybe made a difference.

[Sovietworkers]

БТР-90 принят на вооружение Вооружённых Сил Российской Федерации приказом МО РФ №324 от 9 июня 2008 г., став первым новым российским колесным бронетранспортёром, принятым на вооружение с момента создания Российской армии

[MartinKiller88]

lol @ music from red alert 1 :D

[Blackscorpy]

He was asking a question - not everybody is a military genius with it comes to technical details. Plus the armament on BTR-90 can vary depending on the version I guess, although the 30mm's, AT-5 and PKT seem to be the standard.

I suggest you keep your mouth closed unless you can keep it civilized...

[T80s]

AT 14 Kornet AT missle, kornet have a range of about 5.5khms and can pirce 1200mm of armor the Kornet-E has ben used to take out Merkvas with deadly preccision

[Kriegerdammerung]

anibody saw the "top ten infantry fighting vehicles" from Discovery channel, in that are 6 vehicles of US army, i think thats a bullshit. mean in the movies old APC are slows, problems to cross a river, STINK!!!!!

[MultipleEFP]

Discovery Channel

HA HA HA HA HA... :-D

american stupidity is unlimited !

[Puzzoozoo]

I see the Russians have still kept the side door for exiting.

[HaterStaZ]

Yeah, so that you can exist both on the right and the left as opposed to leaving from the back and... the front? :D

[Puzzoozoo]

The ukrainian model is designed like the NATO APC's in that you exit to the rear while the vechicle provides supressing fire while the squad exits.

[Ahcrap1347]

BTR-90 has a 30 mm cannon, genius.

[vumpsh]

yes- a 30mm cannon, a 30mm automatic greanade launcher, as well as machineguns. and an anti-tank missile launcher. good stuff

[bittemeinrammstein]

BTR-90 has a 30mm cannon and a 30mm granade launcher which can swaped for an guided anti-tank missile... dumbshit

[gabricontractor]

take it easy i was only asking! moron!

[zvezdarac81]

Serbia is buying probably Btr-90 this year.

[Sovietworkers]

ya serbia getting 200 Russia getting +450.

[bittemeinrammstein]

Russia gets over 1,000 by 2010

[MokomaSusi]

I would be more worried about AT-missiles what are installed to BTR-90

[bittemeinrammstein]

AT missiles are on almost all russian armoured vehciles

[MokomaSusi]

True, and 30mm grenade launchers.
