- Battlelog Description

In Battlefield 3, the BTR-90 is one of the four new vehicles that come with the Back to Karkand expansion pack. According to the description, the BTR-90 can withstand the impact of 14.5mm projectiles as well as small arms, grenades, and smoke-screens. It is issued to the Russians as their IFV. BTR-90 is amphibious like other IFVs. The second passenger uses the KORD machine gun on top, other passengers may fire light machine guns with unlimited ammo through the firing ports and still be completely protected. It handles similarly to the LAV-25. Unlike the BMP-2, it cannot turn while stationary since it is wheeled rather than tracked, though it also has better acceleration and handling than the BMP-2

 * In Battlefield 3, the BTR-90 and the LAV-25 are very similar. They both have the exact same reticule for all the unlocks and passenger seats. Also, they are both wheeled, and when equipped with Reactive Armor they both are equipped with only slat armor.
