A version of the BRDM-2 Scout Car with anti-tank functionality. By Staff Writer
The BRDM-2 Spandrel represents a variant on the BRDM-2 Amphibious Scout Car Model detailed elsewhere on this site. This BRDM-2 variant is mechanically identical to the BRDM-2 base with the exception of the Spandrel anti-tank missile launcher perched atop the hull.
The armored launcher system can be retracted during transport and can fire six Spandrel anti-tank missile rounds. Missiles are launched from within the protection of the vehicle or remotely by cable (limited to 80m from weapon system).
The system is fully amphibious making it a very flexible and adaptable system.
