T-90MS?
I think a M.
Is that ball and chain armor on the turret? Israeli Merkavas are the only ones I thought used that. I could be in error though.
I think I’ve seen BTR-80s using the ball/chain armor on the underside, but the pictures, as @HeavyArty told me, were taken in 2014 during the War in the Donbas.
Chain armor on the turret
Another (better) view…Thanks Karl
Makeshift “chain” armor on the front hull of the second tank

That’s being too generous.

I have been thinking about this vehicle for a bit.
I think the guns are dual PKT’s, is that correct? Does anyone have measurements for the gun, ie overall length, receiver length, barrel length? Any guesses on ammo can sizes?
I am going to try to build this in 1/43, with this netting over the guns.
I think I have most of pieces needed but the guns and some ammo cans will have to scratched along with the tail gate step.
I think the pink/purplish tool painted greens and greys will work close enough for this scale to hide what will be a very rough looking dual PKT.
The T-90M has that ball and chain screen around the turret (not sure if it goes right round the back or just 3/4 way round) which is standard on that model now. The T-80BVM that has the chains looks more like a field modification.
Just found more views of the UAZ- mounted twin PKT
The pictured ammo boxes appear to be standard PKT ones
Dimensions = 35cm x 20cm x 8.5cm

Thanks HP. Love the extra photos. I might have to unsee the screen floor as I don’t think I have anything to replicate that.
For the gun I have used a online calculator for the following results, does this appear reasonable.
Length 1.098m = 1.01 inches/25.53 mm
Barrel 722mm = 0.66 inches/16.79 mm
Ryan, I have been thinking about you thinking about that vehicle. … Get out the SawsAll!
Also… If the bread-loaf is opened-up like that, is it now a “bread-bowl?”
