A rare Russian combat vehicle was recorded fighting in Ukraine during an armored assault on an unspecified front. A quick glimpse of a Russian BTR-90 8×8 wheeled armored personnel carrier can be seen starting at 02:04 in the footage.

The BTR-90 is a larger version of the BTR-80 and has a BMP-2 cannon as its main gun. Only around 140 units were ever produced, and the vehicles was intended for use by the Rosvgardia, or the Russian national guard, for domestic operations.
