    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.

    Today valued:

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.

      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

You can produce, field and use MANY bullet RESISTANT vehicles at a MUCH LOWER cost than this today.

      ​@@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.
