BRDM - 2 Amphibious
P.O.A.
Very impressive
everyday useable armoured scout vehicle, that swims
as well! These now tend to be used by special security
forces or riot control. I saw one parked outside Prague
international airport during the summer when security
level was very high. I did try to film, but they were
not impressed, instead they threatened me with a free
ride to their security office.
Whats more
intriguing about these BRDM's is they have a lower under carriage, this was a bit of a whacky way of improving
mobility across country. There are arguments as to whether
it helps a great deal. But its impressive.
The pictures
are all of the one available. BRDM2s are more collectable
with the improved V8 enfine
The Gaz V8
cyl engine is extremely reliable. A bit different to
some of our military engines we've used in the past.
When I first started out in this trade many years ago,
we fitted the XK engine in quite a few military vehicles,
when I got told about this
I was amazed. Of course they are always
falling apart more often than our RAF transport planes.
How often
do you see adverts for new J60 engines. They're everywhere.
Does that tell you something?
