brdm2 Modelo 3D

the brdm-2 (boyevaya razvedyvatelnaya dozornaya mashina, боевая разведывательная дозорная машина, literally "combat reconnaissance/patrol vehicle") is an amphibious armoured patrol car used by russia and the former soviet union. it was also known under designations btr-40pb, btr-40p-2 and gaz 41-08. this vehicle, like many other soviet designs, has been exported extensively and is in use in at least 38 countries. it was intended to replace the earlier brdm-1 with a vehicle that had improved amphibious capabilities and ***ter armament.
after few years of exploitation of brdm-1 by the soviet army its limitations and drawbacks became obvious. the vehicle had no turret and to operate the armament thener had to open a hatch and expose himself to enemy fire. the vehicle wasn't fitted with an nbc protection system, and had no night vision equipment by default. the vehicle also didn't have any kind of special sights which undermined its usability as a reconnaissance vehicle. these drawbacks encouraged the design team to create a new vehicle which would suit the modern battlefield.
