Welcome to our new content. As the Weapon Detective, we are investigating modern weapon systems of the Second Cold War. The Weapon Legends is about older weapon systems. In our videos, we tell their epic stories which made them a legend. The Weapon Legends investigates these stories, reads between the lines, analyse, and tells the untold. In our videos, you can find technical information as well as historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. Let the wisdom of history show us what the future would be like. Let’s investigate the veteran weapons of the past together.

are you the same dude that does classical numismatics
@@samburdge9948 No
Never understand why soviet union always called as russia ... Ussr is soviet union at least 15-16 countries . Everything that was made in ussr - made from parts - a bit from every country .
Its not built to survive at the leading edge of battle against heavily armed opposition. Used within its limitations its a very useful vehicle that has withstood the test of time. Its the same reason you can still find the M113 in use.
It's more like humvee as M113
@@user-sr6pi5lp3q yep, same way the btr 82 is more like an mrap
@@Ghosy01 as what?
@@Ghosy01BTR-82 is more an Armored Personnel Carrier rather than a MRAP (it's not mine protected, with inner seating modified nor V-shaped hull, in order to withstand landmines and IED blasts under the hull).
@ngfalcon1986 updated btr are mine resistant . i was talking purely based on weight however . the mrap is 3 ton heavier than a btr surprisingly
One of my favourite vehicles and my second favourite russian vehicle. And I had the luck to sat into a few of them. They are a bit small inside but I loved it. So thank you so much this video.
Today valued:
HMMWV: $220k
BRDM-2: $38k
But BRDM is amphibious and has better ground clearance
I think they are used as anti-diversion vehicle
They're both flexible. HMMWV has better ergos in general. That's just a general statement about any eastern vs. western design. Ergos are always better on the western versions.
I mean the BRDM is kinda old asf so I'm not surprised about the price
Hmmwv - can take a tank round and crew alive
Brdm - can take 7.62 or 12-14mm rounds and everyone dead inside
@@gorishokgo5825
Hammer taking a tank round?? Taking APFSDS?
Bruv, you need to check your facts.
Hammer can't even take .50 BMG (BRDM can't either ofc)
@@randomargument972 He was clearly making a joke dumbass. BRDM are paper compared to HMMWVs nowadays, and I'd rather be inside something that might stop rounds as opposed to something I know for sure wont. The US version of the BRDM is the M1117 Guardian, its light years better than a BRDM including its armor.
Thanks for re-voicing the BRDM-2 and new additional information. But, as you said that the vehicle is highly useless in Ukraine. By this war, I think many users of BRDM-2 would retire it.
I'd rather travel in a BDRM-2 than a Lada Niva. Problem arise if you try to use it as a tank.
Well, there are a lot of them in the Ukrainian army, so we can still observe them in this conflict. This is due to the fact that some civilian volunteers repaired these vehicles in 2014 and handed them over to volunteer battalions, which mostly had only civilian buses and cars. And Ukraine was so unable to resolve the issue of what to do with approximately 1000 serviceable brdm-2 units, because we still observe this equipment in battles
Brdm-2 is scout vehicle , it not mean to stick around and fight , they role is drive ahead of the formation if hit contact ( ambush ) or spot enemy radio back and flee back to the main force well that how we used them in Vietnam .
Ukrainian still have numbers of these BRDM2 Armoured reconnaissance vehicle on there arsenal
They might do an update on the BRDM 2. Maybe new platform? Or maybe they will increase the Bumerang production.
A wonderful video about BRDM -2 vehicle for reconnaissance tasks..made by USSR during First cold War..it's published to its correlation countries and biased countries, video clearly explained all its characteristics which its progression & upgrades continued in different countries & different habitats ..it's designers preferred fastest mobilizes than other required characters in its primary designed ..thanks( Weapondetective)channelforsharingthiswonderfulvideo.
Thanks! This was inspirational video fo me when I made test drive video about the BRDM-2.
Thanks for your comment and support, my friend. I also watched your video with subtitle, Excellent as always.

Always great videos. I am writing this comment to make your channel better known, which for me is particularly interesting.
you are making great videos thank you for your effort you are the best
JAI HIND 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳
Nice video
I saw the amphibious command , and amphibious reconnaissance versions of this vehicle on display today in Yad La Shiryon , The Israel Armoured Corps Memorial Site and Museum at Latrun , central Israel
It would be great if you created country specific playlists where I could look at weapons developed by specific countries such as Japan and the United States.
We have. You can check our country-based playlists
Nice
good episode
SUPER VIDEO BRDM-2
It's good for what it was designed for. I don't think it's obsolete. It's got a potent gun on it and it can get almost anywhere.
Maybe it’s obsolete because there is room for more improvement doesn’t mean it’s bad though it just could be better equipped for newer combat
I would LOVE to buy one of those. I wonder how much you can pick one up for?
I find these vehicles cute looking. The vision ports in front look like big eyes and the overall shape looks like a frog. I would buy a BRDM-2 plushie.
How does this compare with the ferret armoured car?
It makes me think of M1117 armored car of the US. To my eye, side hatches would be quite desirable for getting in and out with just a bit of cover. Did I see some images of vehicles so modified, or was that add-on armor?
There are indeed variants with side-doors like e.g. BRDM-2MS.
@@matovicmmilan Thanks!
Every ton of armor equates to liters od fuel to accomplish the same mission.
When editing your sound you should cut out the part where you take in a breath to speak, your video will sound much better when people can only hear what you have to say and not hear you breathing in their ear.
For the scout car, it has surprisingly bad vision from the inside.
If used as it was designed its perfectly fine
Is nice
brdm-2 is a cool vehicle
It’s so basic looking like something I would draw when I was a teenager.. but I like it lmao I want one
As far as any claims Russian motorized equipment even floats.. if it's not floating right now in font of the camera, then it doesn't float.
I’m so glad you quit using the computerized voices.
Does it also self destruct like their flagship cruiser
Inexpensive & available != "effective"
This one is apparently all 3
@@lebien4554 No it is not "effective" that is the entire point. When it can be destroyed by ANY rifle from ANY angle at
@@GrumblingGrognard lmao did you even watched the vid? Yes it has light armor, so what? It's a fucking scout car, it's not supposed to be seen or get in range to begin with.
@@lebien4554 Get a clue. In use, wide-spread does not mean effective. What good is ANY armor if EVERY MG and Service rifle on the planet can penetrate? You can produce, field and use MANY bullet RESISTANT vehicles at a MUCH LOWER cost than this today. When you start talking about transporting (as in air) then it is insane to even consider these over a half dozen alternatives.
@@GrumblingGrognard Your argument is oversimplified and emotion-filled. Can be doesn't mean will be. Can penetrate with what ammo and at what range? Can infantry spot and hit it before it gets away? It's not a Toyota pickup, IT IS BULLET RESISTANT against certain weapons at certain range. Sure you can put on more armor, but will it be amphibious, will it be fast and can you make a million of it? The Wiesel is basically the same thing but smaller and can't swim and people thinks it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Im sure it would have had greater succes, if it had been slightly uparmored to atleast withstand their own 12,7mm from NSV or DSHk's.
They are scout vehicle, i think the front can take 50 cal , they normal send front of the formation to spot enemy , either they spot something and radio back or get hit by a ambush and manage to flee and radio back or they didn't manage to come back we will know there in enemy force 😅 not design to stick around and fight
Then it would be slower, heavier, more expensive and can't swim, making it practically useless as a scout vehicle
The BRDM-2MS has upgraded armour and other features, it seems good enough for it's role
KRI GOLOK sir...🙏
Imagine dying in that lunchbox pos
Can buy one for less than 20k euro
What-!?
The numbers BRDM2 Russia armoured reconnaissance vehicle in Afghanistan have been by the Afghan mujahadeen fighters and while others in Ukraine
Get some help improving the audio.
Wtf is a BRT?
APC lol
In the US Army, they were referred to as semi-soft targets. Just sayin'......
So was Humvee
@@destroyerarmor2846 not anymore.
@@JamesGrim08but the humvee can't swin
The Ukraine War is a High Intensity hot-war unlike anything since WW2. It appears that the BRDM is not fairing well either due to Ukrainian tactics &/or perhaps due to poor Russian tactics & training.
you must be watching cnn russia has destroyed 2500 ukraine tanks more than euro nato tank stocks combined
They used them wrong for sure brdm2 should be used for scout only , send 1 ahead the convoy for scouting , if spot enemy contact back to the force and escape back to main force , not design to stick around and fight , btw if it didn't come back or radio back it mean there is enemy 😆
@@jerryle379 Problem with this approach is there are more effective and cost effective scouts available now. Drones. So, something like HMMWV or BDRM-2 is basically great as a mortar carrier or a drone hauler.
Training goes to hell in a handbasket especially if troops aren’t dedicated to the cause. Low trained but dedicated would be preferable in this case. It’s probably as good as anything in it’s pou
@@frankrenda2519has Ukraine not done the same though?
The Cubans got their asses kicked by South Africans in Angola hahahhahaha.
Pretty sure the Cuban MiG 23s shot down a lot of South African planes.
Go Russia
