It feels like the ideal would have been for mechanized infantry to be mounted in the BMP-3 and motorized infantry in the BTR-90 in the ready divisions, with cadre divisions having units with older equipment until the ready divisions are fully equipped with the new vehicles and additional production can flow down to the cadre. Mobilisation units would get the cadre's cast-offs (old BMP-1 and BMP-2 for mechanized, BTR-70 and BTR-80 for motorized) as cadre got new vehicles (and production might not ever be high enough to reach mobilisation units until their replacements start entering service).
There likely wouldn't be enough time for production to even reach all the ready divisions in any of the existing Twilight timelines, but maybe Naval Infantry or other elite units might be equipped with them.
