BRDM-2 - fotod ja video

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.

2007 BRDM-2 is a Soviet-made amphibious armoured scout car that was widely used by various countries during the Cold War and beyond. It was designed to replace the older BRDM-1, which had several drawbacks such as poor armament, limited visibility and lack of NBC protection. The BRDM-2 features a four-man crew, a turret with a 14.5 mm heavy machine gun and a 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun, and eight small wheels that can be lowered for better traction on rough terrain.
The vehicle can also swim across water obstacles using a water jet at the rear and a trim board at the front. The BRDM-2 has several variants that carry different weapons systems, such as anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles or grenade launchers. The BRDM-2 is still in service with some countries, although it has been replaced by more modern vehicles in others.
