Developer - JSC "Gorky Automobile Plant", manufacturer declared JSC "Arzamas machine-building plant", serial production scheduled to begin in 2011 year. Armored tests were completed in 2004 year.
AT 2011 , the Russian Defense Ministry refused to BTR-90 procurement.
Features
BTR-90 is equipped with an automatic reversible hydromechanical transmission, independent suspension of all wheels with all-wheel drive. armor, compared with BTR-80, It was substantially strengthened. Significantly improved mine protection, in particular, bottom of the machine has a V-shaped - more resistant to impact shock wave, than traditional flat.
weaponry, Placed in the fighting compartment, It stabilized in two planes. It can fire on the move over rough terrain. Despite, that the BTR-90 is heavier and more in comparison with BTR-80, it is much more manoeuvrable their predecessors. So, the machine can turn on a dime - it's possible thanks to the rotation of the wheels of different sides in opposite directions (Like the tank).
The machine is equipped with on-board information and control system (BIUS).
Significantly increased firepower. Basic armament consists of:
– Automatic 30mm cannon 2A42 (500 shots)
– automatic grenade launcher AGS-17 (400 shots)
– 7,62-mm machine gun PKT (2000 rounds)
– ATRA "Competition M" (four ATGM)
The design allows to install more powerful weapons, in particular 100 and 125 mm cannon. An APC installed a combined day and night sight BPKZ 42-day sight and 1P-13. The machine has a system of protection against damaging factors of weapons of mass destruction.

BMM "Tendon»
Multipurpose armored medical vehicle (MTP). machine development was started 1 June 1997 year, according to the contract number STC / 2/459. Now developer is LLC "Device Control". The contract provides the following terms of the machine design:
– Preliminary design: from June to December 1997 of the year;
– Technical project: December 1997 to September 1998 year;
– Development of design documentation for the prototype: October 1998 June 1999 of the year;
– Creating a prototype and preliminary tests: since July 1999 June 2000;
– state tests: since July 2000 in March 2001;
– Working out of the design documentation on the results of state testing: from April 2001 December 2001.
During manufacture of the prototype and conduct preliminary tests of "Device control" in these terms did not meet. As a result of the completion point terms were shifted to March 2006 of the year. but 31 May 2006 at a meeting it was decided to close the project, justifying the, that the continuation of the subject due to the delay in the timing is not appropriate.
MH-187
Project 120-mm SAO to BTR-90 base. He developed a special design bureau of JSC "MZ". The project involved the placement of the crew compartment SAO 2S31 Vena "Vienna" on GAZ-5923. However, during the implementation phase of the technical proposals was found inexpedient to install a fully unified with the crew compartment 2S31 Vena. The main reasons were the limited horizontal guidance angles due to the low resistance chassis, Ammunition small and insignificant advantage over previously developed CAO 2S23 "Nona-CRS". Works on this project were discontinued.

Russia - BTR-90 adopted by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Decree of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation № 324 from 9 June 2008 of the year, becoming the first new Russian armored personnel carrier Wheel, taken into service since the establishment of the Russian army. As of June 2009 years in the army was absent, with the exception of an experimental batch, as SDO until recently included only the production of BTR-80A. In connection with the revision of arms SV VS Russian real concept formulation adopted is questionable; started to develop a conceptually new BTR.
In October 2011 , the Russian Defense Ministry refused to buy BTR-90 and did not include them in the list to the state program of armaments 2020 of the year, and refused export of APCs.
replacement
AT 2009 — 2010 CB's in the Arzamas machine-building plant began to develop a new BTR "sleeve" on the basis of the BTR-90. In accordance with the new requirements of the customer, APC should be linked with the placement of the MTO at the front of the machine and the troop compartment at the rear, that will enhance security and improve the conditions for landing (an example would be such a machine as the Finnish APC «Patria»). It is planned to produce a deep unification with BMP-3M power plant, weapons, single-board information management system, cars reservation system and other improvements.
