Soviet BRDM-2 Armoured Car

Zvezda 1/35 Soviet BRDM-2 Armoured Car # 3638

The BRDM-2 is an armored reconnaissance vehicle developed by Gorky Automobile Plant and produced from 1964 to 1989 in the USSR, with license manufacturing in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. The vehicle€™s armor is efficient against light arms only, but it has good off-road capacity which is important for the scouting role. To overcome ditches and trenches, small additional wheels were added in the center of the body. On good roads the BRDM-2 can reach a speed up to 100 km / h. A water jet engine provides the car with amphibious capacity. The BRDM-2 is armed with a heavy 14,5-mm KPVT  machine gun in a rotating turret and a coaxial 7,62-mm PKT Kalashnikov machine gun. Armor-piercing incendiary KPVT bullets are efficient against light armored vehicles. During it´s long production period, various changes and improvements were made. Over 7200 BRDM-2`s were produced and in service with the USSR and it´s allies. Many of these armored cars are still used in  Russia and several other countries worldwide.
