Pictures of the updated Russian armored reconnaissance patrol vehicle BRDM-2MS appeared on the Internet.

Now it is impossible to approach it either from the air or by any other means. Like her Soviet predecessor, the legendary BRDM-2, tested in the 'hot spots' of Afghanistan, Chechnya, South Ossetia and other conflicts, it remains a universal armored reconnaissance vehicle for the military.

The world saw the upgraded version of the BRDM-2MS weighing 6,900 kg in 2019 when it was acquired by Serbia, friendly to Russia.

The upgrades include:

• a diesel engine with a power of 150 hp;
• maximum speed on the highway up to 100 km/h, and on dirt roads - up to 50 km/h;
• fire control system, able to see the enemy at a distance of up to 5 km during the day and up to 3.5 km at night;
• new range - 1,500 km;
• additional armor panels 6 mm against bullets of calibers 7.62 mm and 12.7 mm in all projections;
• additional measures to increase mine resistance.

 For a panoramic view in the BRDM-2MS, six cameras were installed, allowing the five members of the crew to conduct round-the-clock observation of the area.
