I don't have time to look for more references you already provided, but I agree with you on the BTR-90. From what I have read it has not been accepted by the Russian Army and it appears that it's no longer even being considered. The Interior Ministry troops (VV, Vnutrenniye Voiska) are using the existing pre-production vehicles, but the numbers are very small, and there is no new production.
Additionally, it seems that the BTR-90 was never even intended to replace the BTR-80, since it's much too expensive for that. The Russian Army still has a huge number of BTR-70 vehicles, which have gas engines and need to be replaced with something relatively inexpensive.

Re: APC Development and related topics.
As noted in the MBT Thread, Don and I have had some discussion about the "BOOMERANG" over the last 2>3 years now. Well from when I first came across this and brought it up I can finally say it exists. Again it sorta reminds me of the Patria AMV.

The highlighted portions will link you to those pieces of equipment I mentioned in the MBT Thread.
Not mentioned is the fact that the Russian Paras are starting to take deliveries of 2 different types of APC/IFV's.
Regards,
Pat

Re: APC Development and related topics.
The BTR-90 is being used in small numbers by interior ministry troops and that number PROBABLY exceeds DOZENS of units entered in both games OOB's that nobody ever questions but I have given up fighting this BTR-90 issue and have pulled all the units from the game now.

Re: APC Development and related topics.
Conversely.
Platform Armata = Tank, Heavy APC
Platform Kurganets-25 = Tracked APC, IFV
Platform Bumerang = Wheeled APC
Minimum type, maximum variants.
In Russia varied landscape and need a variety of machines.
Show me a country in which there are no problems of logistics ?
