  BRDM-2 / (BTR-40P-2) Armored Vehicles
This vehicle differs from the original BRDM in that the powerplant has improved and moved to the rear of the vehicle, and that a small 14.5mm machinegun-armed turret has been fitted.
It was first seen in 1966 and by the mid-1980s was rapidly replacing the BRDM in the Soviet and Warsaw Pact armies.
Like the earlier BRDM, the BRDM-2 is a fully armored, four-wheel drive, amphibious reconnaissance vehicle with two pairs of belly wheels and a centralized tire pressure regulation system for increased cross-country capability and a single water jet for propulsion through water.

 BRDM-1 (BTR-40P) Armored Vehicles
The BRDM four-wheel-drive amphibious scout car first appeared in the spring of 1959 and rapidly became the standard light wheeled reconnaissance vehicle in most of the Warsaw Pact armies.
Four versions of the BRDM are in existence: the basic BRDM reconnaissance vehicle; the BRDM-rkh radiological-chemical recon-naissance vehicle with marking-flag dispensing devices; the BRDM-U command vehicle distinguishable only by extra radio antennas; and three different antitank guided missile carriers for AT-1 SNAPPER, AT-2 SWATTER, and AT-3 SAGGER antitank missiles.
All versions of the BRDM are propelled in the water by a single water jet.

BRDM for Distributed Computing For file sharing applications, the search is performed by using the name of the shared object (file).
The BRDM algorithm does not generate large number of messages because the query is forwarded to a dynamic ratio of neighbouring nodes and the flboards store the information about the computing resources of the peers.
The BRDM outperforms other algorithms because after a peer sends its second or third queries, the flboards of the peers start to build up their knowledge about the available volunteers in the network.

The BRDM has lateral firing ports, so that crew can fire at ambushers without needed to expose themselves by winding down windows.
The BRDM has a set of retractable belly wheels for extra traction during cross country operation.
Despite being the heavier vehicle the BRDM is fully amphibious and propelled by a water jet, while the HMMWV can ford 5ft with preparation, or two and a half feet without.

 Russian tank for sale
This russian tank was differs from the former BRDM in that the powerplant has improved and moved to the rear of the vehicle, and that a 14.5mm machinegun-armed turret has been fitted.
Its tires are not protected by armor and are vulnerable to puncture from fire, even though the BRDM might go on because of its automatic infaltion system.
In the basic model, a conical turret is mounted on the hull in a central position above the belly wheels.

 Dinner Winner - Trophy Models' 1/35 BRDM-1 Soviet Armoured Car
The original plan was to build it straight out of the box (to ensure that I didn't have to pay for that dinner!) but I soon realized that some small modifications would improve the model.
The Trophy Model's BRDM is a very well executed resin kit.
The hull is a solid one-piece casting without any bubbles or warping.

 BRDM-3 by Jose Rodriguez (Dragon 1/35)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The BRDM must have some very low gears to enable it to get away with just 140 H.P. which means it can crawl but cannot speed up to its claimed 100 Km/h (62 mph) top speed with its manual 4-speed transmission.
I took me awhile to find out what it was because many BRDM pictures on the web were of disabled and captured vehicles that have been vandalized and picked clean of anything that wasn't bolted or welded to the hull.
It looks like a BRDM to me. For some the kit will be on the simplistic side but a BRDM vehicle is a simple machine designed to be mass-produced on the cheap so the kit is not far from the real thing.

On point target engagements (lightly armored vehicle targets, such as BRDMs and BTR-70s), full credit is given when the gunner scores one kill on the target.
Stationary BRDM targets and dismounted troop targets are set in target arrays in front of each weapon system at ranges between 400 meters and 1,000 meters.
