2007 BRDM-2 (Boyevaya Razvedyvatelnaya Dozornaya Mashina, Боевая Разведывательная Дозорная Машина, sõna-sõnalt "Combat Reconnaissance/Patrol Vehicle") on amfiibne soomustatud patrullauto, mida kasutavad Venemaa ja endine Nõukogude Liit. See oli tuntud ka nimetuste BTR-40PB, BTR-40P-2 ja GAZ 41-08 all. See sõiduk, nagu paljud teised nõukogude disainilahendused, on eksporditud laialdaselt ja on kasutusel vähemalt 38 riigis. See oli mõeldud asendama varasemat BRDM-1, millega võrreldes oli tal parem amfiibvõime ja parem relvastus.

The Eyes of the Red Army

2007 BRDM-2 was designed in the early 1960s to replace the aging BRDM-1. It was built to be a fast, lightly armored, and fully amphibious scout car that could lead the charge for Soviet mechanized divisions. Its mission was to find enemy lines, swim across rivers without preparation, and survive small arms fire. With over 7,000 units produced and exported to over 50 countries, it remains one of the most recognizable armored vehicles in the world today.

Unique Mobility & Amphibious Design

Hidden “Belly Wheels”: The BRDM-2’s most unique feature is a set of four small, chain-driven auxiliary wheels tucked into the center of the chassis. These can be lowered by the driver to help the vehicle cross wide trenches or avoid getting “high-centered” on obstacles.
Water Jet Propulsion: For swimming, the BRDM-2 uses a single water jet mounted at the rear, protected by a circular door when on land. This allows the vehicle to navigate currents and steer in the water using the same steering wheel used for road driving.
Central Tire Inflation (CTIS): The driver can adjust the tire pressure from inside the cab. Lowering the pressure increases the “footprint” of the tires, allowing the heavy 4×4 to crawl through deep mud or soft sand.
Trim Vane: A foldable “nose” or splash plate is located at the front. When entering the water, this is raised to prevent the bow from dipping under and to improve the vehicle’s “boat” characteristics.

Variants & Operational Legacy

The “BPU-1” Turret: The standard scout version uses the same turret found on the BTR-60PB. The 14.5mm KPVT heavy machine gun is devastating against light vehicles and low-flying helicopters.
ATGM Carriers (9P148): The BRDM-2 chassis was widely modified to carry anti-tank guided missiles. Instead of a turret, these versions have a retractable launcher for Konkurs Või Fagot missiles.
Chemical/Radiation Recon (BRDM-2RKh): These variants carry specialized equipment for marking contaminated zones, often seen with “flag-planting” devices on the rear to warn following troops.
Global Service: From the deserts of the Middle East to the jungles of Vietnam and the modern battlefields of Ukraine, the BRDM-2 remains in use due to its simplicity, speed, and ease of maintenance.
