BTR-90 Russian amphibious infantry fighting vehicle

BTR-90 (GAZ-5923) is an 8×8 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle developed in Russia, designed in 1993 and first shown publicly in 1994. It is a larger version of the BTR-80 vehicle, fitted with a BMP-2 turret. Armour protection is improved compared with the BTR-80, giving protection from 14.5 mm projectiles over the frontal arc.
It is armed with a 30 mm 2A42 auto cannon, coaxial 7.62 mm PKT machine gun, AT-5 Spandrel ATGM, as well as a AGS-17 30 mm automatic grenade launcher. Limited numbers have been produced and are in service with Russian Internal Troops.
Armament

The main gun of the BTR-90 is a 30 mm Shipunov 2A42 auto cannon. The vehicle carries an ammunition load of five hundred rounds for this weapon.

A 7.62 mm PKT coaxial machine gun with 2000 rounds and a 30 mm AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher are available as the secondary armament of the BTR-90.

A guided missile system is also available for engaging armoured targets. This consists of four AT-5 Spandrel (Konkurs) missiles mounted on the turret. The launching unit is detachable, and can be used to launch missiles from the ground.[3]

All the weapons are mounted on the turret and are assisted by a fire control system.[7] The fire control system allows the weapons to be used while the vehicle is moving, and in all weather conditions. The turret can be traversed 360 degrees with an elevation range of -5 to +75 degrees.[6][8] The vehicles weaponry allows it to engage targets at ranges up to 4 km. Helicopters and fortifications can be engaged at ranges up to 2.5 km.
In addition to the vehicles weapons, its occupants have the ability to fire their weapons through available firing ports and hatches, increasing its firepower.

The armor is only good up to 14.5? RPG's must sail through that vehicle like a hot knife through butter.

[gwhunter1986]

all the footage shot of the 14.5 is not from a btr 90, its mainly out of a btr 80. 90's mainly mount chain guns and if you know your btr's you can tell the minor differences on the hull etc. Plus although infantry can fight from within the vehicle, the btr series are armoured personnel carriers unlike the bmp series that are true IFV's..........

@alex080297 I am American, and I say that RibBrain is a biased dumbass

[OberstGenosse]

great vid ty

[alex080297]

@RibBrain pick on small coutries. what is america doing in afghanistan and iraq? and lybia and egypt who called you?. american never fought real power. and never fought for their people u fight to steal resources. and f-35 is not even in service. f-22 is canceled. and su-35 is more advanced in every aspect that the two of them. and soon pak fa will enter service.

[RibBrain]

America wins. Russia uses dusty old weaponry and picks on small helpless countries like Georgia. If this is all they have to offer than thats too bad. We have f-35... Nuff said

@gwhunter1986 I like your comment. However I would not call a BTR-90 an APC. It has far too much armament and can only hold 9 men apart from crew. A BTR 90 has:

A 30mm automatic cannon

A 30mm automatic grenade launcher

A anti tank missle

&

Openings for men inside to fire RPGs while moving

It can be deployed by air (with parachutes), Sea (amphibious), land (top speed is around 60mph) and can hold 9 fully equip units. Also it is not that expensive.

@gwhunter1986 they are both ifv ones tracked the other wheeled
