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 The BRDM-2 is still in service with some countries, although it has been replaced by more modern vehicles in others.
