BTR-90 Production?

YouTube - BMD-4

Promovideo itself. I used to have also corresponding translated text, but now i cant find that link.

Generally, new BTR-90 have Bakcha-U turret and all its corresponding properties. There are a lot of information about the turret.

Same capabilities for BMP-3M, BMD-4 and BTR-90.

P.S. After close examination it turns out there are some difference in sources. Some states 10 km/h swim for BTR-90, some 9 km/h, some even 11. Might be for different versions.

What the hell Chrom - I do not see a BTR - 90, did I miss something.

Here is a couple of countermeasure upgrade packages that we may see on the Bimp 3 turret, Shtora and Arena.

This is general video for Bakcha-U turret. Somehow i mistook it for BTR-90 because BTR-90 was mentioned in the beginning.

Either way, regarding weapon capabilities of turret BMD-4 and BTR-90 are equal. I.e. fire on move, TI, etc.

Are you sure that it is a good swimmer, in what configuration. If Russia wants to call it a IFV, mini tank destroyer or a bloody APC who cares, my concern is that the U.S Army knows of it`s capabilities so that we can effectively engage and destroy it if faced on the battlefield, as it stands right now the U.S and NATO has given it a APC designation.

The USA/NATO don't always know best, think about it, the CIA though that "RPG" was an acronym for: "Rocket Propelled Grenade" It turns out that Russians speak Russian and that "RPG" is "Anti-Tank Rocket" or something of the likes, however the media (I think US Army too) still calls them "Rocket Propelled Grenades"

The U.S. Army may know of its capabilities but it shapes up to be more than a match for any other wheeled "APC" armaments wise anyways. The "Kornet" ATGM is more deadly than anything the STANDARD Stryker carries. Luckily, Russia has little money and will not have enough to make a difference, it would take a lot of BTR-90s to do any damage to US infantry in Strykers if there was M1A2s supporting them (and there could be air-support as well).

... and the problem?

Ручной Противотанковый Гранатомёт, Ručnoj Protivotankovyy Granatomyot, Handheld Anti-Tank Grenade Launcher. Alternatively реактивный противотанковый гранатомёт, Reaktivnyy Protivotankovyy Granatomyot, "Rocket Anti-Tank Grenade Launcher".

As the grenade fired is rocket-propelled, the homophone-abbreviation designation "RPG" isn't any problem. It's a rather good transliteration, in fact.

For the comment inregards to the RPG series @Kato summed it up pretty good. I guess I need to ask you though why is it that you think that a (Standard) Stryker model would be in a front line unit with M1A2 MBTs fighting a sizable opponent, plus if it is Russian forces that we are talking about then the chances of them bringing BTR-90s to a fight with heavy forces (M1A2s) most likely would not happen. Also you do realize that the U.S really hasn`t decided what to settle with in terms as a primary weapons station on the Stryker vehicle.

And finally lets just think about the simple fact that a Russia-US war would be a nuclear exchange. Russian military doctrine emphasizes nuclear weapons even in a pre-emptive role.
