The Russians threw a defeated rare sample BTR-90 near Avdiivska: what is known about weapons (photo)
According to the "militaristic" site, one such copy was observed as part of the defeated machinery of the Russians in the area of the settlement of Krasnogorivka, near Avdiivka of Donetsk region. At the same time, military experts of the "militaristic" state that from the first appearance of this machine on the front to the first confirmed loss has been less than two months. What is interesting about this armored vehicle and how she was under Avdiivka, where she was quickly destroyed.
According to military analysts of "militaristic", this armored personnel carrier was removed from the hangars of the 38th Research Institute of Armored Engineering in the Moscow Kubin. It is there that the various prototypes of the equipment that was once developed or the machines are made in a single copy. This is evidenced, experts say that in the fight near Avdiivka the aggressor throws literally everything he has - even cars from test centers and museums.
In general, this armored personnel carrier became the first in the Russian development after the collapse of the USSR and was presented by the Gorkov Automobile Plant in 1994. Subsequently, it was planned to deploy mass production in 2011 at the capacities of the Arzamas Machine-Standard Plant, but it was that year that the Russian Defense Ministry refused to purchase the BTR-90 due to the change of the Concept of Arms of Land Forces.
They began to develop a conceptually new wheeled armored personnel carrier. Therefore, the BTR-90 is a product of extensive development of the concept of wheel armored personnel carrier, started in the late 1950s. It was characteristic of the forage location of the power plant. It was in favor of the survivability of the machine in the fighting, but it is extremely inconvenient to perform the main function - the delivery of the dent to the battlefield and planting it.
Although paratroopers have long been worried about the forage door or even the hardware-it is so safer and more convenient, everything remains in the BTR-90, as in those distant years. This armored vehicle was adopted by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in June 2008, however, according to experts, the case was not the case - even then the car was considered hopelessly outdated.
Until 2015, when the program was officially closed, the developers tried to modify their product, installing on it combat modules "Berezhok" and "Bakhcha-U". However, according to military experts, nothing happened. Instead, the BTR-82A arrived in the Russian army-with more powerful weapons. And at the 2015 military parade, the Bomerang armored personnel carrier was already demonstrated. Earlier, the media reported that the US may dispose of hundreds of M39 ATCMS.
