30mm Auto-cannon AP & HE-I (maximum RoF 550rpm!)

I suppose there are chances of seeing a large combined ops map with Russian Forces that would have BTR-90's, and BMP-3's in the future (0.9?). Even tho Russian doctrine is to send the older stuff first... For simulations sake?

'[R-COM wrote:Outlawz;895060']Oxymoron right there?
If they're made for export, then you ought to be able to find them outside of Russia?

I'm confused.

Currently, the BTR-90 is in service only with the Russian military. A small number of vehicles are used by troops under the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. The vehicle is available for export. However, no foreign militaries have purchased it, and the Russian military has not yet shown interest in replacing its existing BTR APCs with the new BTR-90. Although Serbia's military has shown interest in obtaining 200 BTR-90's.

*kind of off topic* Will the U.S. LAV get any changes? Right now it seems kind of nerfed according to some resources. ( I know I shouldn't use Wikipedia as a resource but...) LAV-25 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The LAV-AT with the TOW would certainly add a new dynamic to 1-2 maps!

Marine Corps Inventory: 95
Unit Replacement Cost: $1,252,000

This left the US Marine Corps alone in ordering no fewer than 758 units for delivery slated between 1983 and 1987. After production had completed, the LAV-25 was subsequently added to the inventory of the Canadian Armed Forces in 1993 to which 203 were produced as the LAV-25 "Coyote" in the primary form of a battlefield reconnaissance vehicle.
