BRDM-2
The BRDM-2 is another Cold War-era export favorite serving worldwide.
By Staff Writer
The BRDM-2 is an update to the BRDM-1 4x4 Scout Car. Updates include night vision equipment, more powerful engine which in turn improves the 4x4 cross-country performance and handling (along with two powered-belly wheels that are lowered), new turret modifications, land navigation system, improved NBC protection and amphibious capabilities. The BRDM-2 has seen high success on the export market, particulary with Third World support.
