BTR-90...Had more but this from
ref. 1/para 1 is from the manufacturer GAZ, "The vehicle
was intended for the use of mechanized units of the Russian Army as well as marine units of the Russian Navy, as a vehicle for fire support, transportation of personnel, surveillance, reconnaissance, and patrolling tasks." and from
para 1/ref.2 "A small number of these APCs are in service with Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs." we had a similar situation when I submitted the
BPM-97 (And one of my very first submissions.) we then decided though in use with Border Guards we at the time could not connect it to the main stream military (The link can be made now as new information became available years later.) and we decided not to enter it. If you remember and those refs supported it, the BTR-90 situation is what drove the
BTR-82 just over 3 years ago getting into the game when I submitted it. The
BPM-97 and
BTR-82 data is at the bottom of the refs.

(This last caused us a lot of aggravation as well because some thought this to be a revived BTR-90 around the time we worked through the BTR-82 some might find that process interesting, it is all in this Thread. This is on my list as well but it is slightly behind schedule at this time.)
I recommend taking out the
BTR-90 and I'm personally holding off on the
BPM-97 myself though on my submission list again due to some still "lingering fog" on the subject. I would rather the slot(s) be available for at least one or two of the Russian MRAPS I know they're getting/have in the Army just recently. Just my "2 cents" on this.
Only one more
Softball left to go the F-35 and what a mess it is worldwide but I will offer a very simple solution.
Nice of my @*#^&+! mouse to cooperate with MozFox so far!?!
