Poor don and andy... 
Looks like the Russians pulled some BTR-90 pre-production prototypes and used them up in Ukraine.

A very rare 🇷🇺#Russian BTR-90 wheeled IFV first spotted on the battlefield, allegedly near #Avdiivka, #Donetsk oblast.
The BTR-90 is a wheeled IFV designed in 1993, armed with a 30mm 2A42 autocannon, a 7.62mm PKT machine gun, a 9M113 Konkurs ATGM and a 30mm AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher. It never made it into the Russian Army's armament.
