The main feature of the machine - a very high permeability. Besides the main wheel drive chassis with controlled pressure in the tire, in the middle of the housing, there are special additional retractable wheel, allowing, in particular, travel long ditches, trench. At present, to some extent used in the intelligence divisions over 50 nations. The army has a nickname of "Mess". In the USSR, the production was completed in November 1989 of the year. Production continues licenses in Poland.
History of creation
The combat reconnaissance patrol vehicle was developed in the design office of the Gorky Automobile Plant. The works were supervised by. A. Dedkov. 22 May 1962 g. the machine was put into service. Serial production of machines was organized in 1963 g. at GAZ, and with 1982 g. and on the Arzamas Machine-Building Plant and continued until 1989 g.
BRDM-2 (GAZ-41-06) - the base model. produced from 1963 of the year
BRDM-2 "Lisa" (GAZ-41-10) - the base model. produced from 1967 of the year. With automatic PAZ and additional night vision devices
BRDM-2A - upgraded
Design
BRDM-2 has an arrangement with an arrangement of the driver's compartment in the front, the crew compartment - in the middle, and the engine compartment - in the rear of the machine. BRDM crew consists of four people: commander and driver, located in the department of management right and left, respectively,, arrow, located in the tower, and the observer, occupying a place in the port or starboard in the fighting compartment.
Armor hull and turret
department of management
The bow of the hull is driving compartment. machine controls are located in the department of management, as well as the following equipment:
– The seat of the commander and the driver;
– Test and Measurement;
– radio station;
– surveillance devices.
Seats have a position adjustment system. In the niche of the right front wheel has a bracket for roentgenometer DP-3B. The remote unit of the device is fixed in the housing on the front lower sheet.
In the event of detonation of roadside land mine, who is at least a short distance from the BRDM, Unlike the US “XAMVI”, he did not receive much damage, unless of course the ground floor did not bury tons of explosives – Well then to tank “fly”… not that light armored vehicle. It is true that the terms of comfort… Yes – here “Xamvi” and BRDM-2 does not compare. But it is better let it be hot and uncomfortable, than a cozily, and then cold, but for good.
fighting compartment
The fighting compartment is located in the middle part of the machine. In order to access the power unit inside the machine at the rear of the combat compartment has a partition, which hatches installed.
In the fighting compartment, there are two places for car crew. Roof mounted overhead, It is hosting the machines Tower. The tower has a suspension seat to accommodate the arrow. In the center of the floor there is a sealed enclosure, under which the transfer case is available. Additionally the floor has a special niche for placing tools. Niche closed hinged lid.
BRDM-2 overcomes a water barrier
Separation of power plant
At the rear of the housing compartment is disposed powerplant. The branch power unit are placed:
– Drive engine manual start;
– Engine;
– Fuel tank Auxiliary heater;
– generator set;
– Equipment for filtering;
– Transmission;
– air collector;
– Water and oil radiators;
– Accumulator battery;
– Water and oil heat exchangers;
– Cardan drive pump-jet;

Pump-jet installed in the rear of the machine. Water is taken from under the bottom. The propellers mounted propellers diameter 500 mm. Tractive effort 900..1100 rev / min screw is 700 kgf. Mover is held in place by a special power take-off, mounted on the left side of the gearbox.
weaponry
Arming BRDM-2 is coupled installation 14.5mm KPVT gun and 7.62 mm PKT. Installation is placed on journals in the frontal part of the tower, its vertical guidance, within -5 ... + 30 °, It is done manually with a screw mechanism, horizontal leveling is carried out by rotating the turret. Aiming at the target guns carried out using periscopic optical sight FP-61 or FP-61AM, having 2,6 × magnification with a field of view of 23 ° and provides a fire from a range of up KPVT 2000 meters of FCT - up 1500 m. KPVT designed to deal with lightly armored and soft-skinned vehicles and the enemy has ammunition 500 rounds in 10 tapes, Curb armor-piercing incendiary bullet B-32 and tracer BZT or armor-piercing incendiary, with a core of tungsten carbide, BS-41 bullets and tracer BLS, as well as the petrol CP. Kalashnikov machine gun is designed to engage manpower and fire weapons and ammunition in a 2000 rounds in 8 tapes.
BRDM-2 with additional wheels lowered overcomes trench
observation and communication tools
As an intelligence tool, BRDM-2 complex has developed means of observation. Commander of the machine has a binocular periscope tank panorama TPKU-2B, 5 × provides increased when the field of view 7,5 °, that allowed to monitor at a distance of 3 000 m, and give all-round visibility. At night on the spot TPKU-2B was mounted monocular night vision device TKN-1C, which had 2,75 × magnification and field of view of 10 ° and provides observation at a distance of 250-300 meters under illumination infrared illuminator OS-3. In addition to these, Commander has four fixed periscopes: one TNPO-115 and three TPN-B, providing an overview of the frontal and right-board sector. The driver has six periscope observation devices: two TNPO-115 and four TPN-B, provides an overview of the left frontal and board sector. At night, the central unit TNPO-115 is replaced with a fixed binocular night vision device TVNO-2B, Allows monitoring the sector 30 ° at a distance of 50-60 meters[9]. No combat commander and a driver can be monitored through the inspection hatches in the front hull. An observer at each of its locations have three periscopes TPN-B, provides an overview of the relevant sector board. TPN-B and 115-TNPO had once distinguished by the presence and increase of the latter electric heating, improves visibility through them at low temperatures. turret gunner, in addition to the installation of machine-gun sight, use them as their primary means of observation, I had TNPT-1 periscope, Installed in the roof of the tower and provides supervision of feed sectors 52 °.
To overcome trenches and trenches on BRDM-2 fitted with two pneumatic wheels on each side. Wheel size is 700 × 250 mm. Before overcoming barriers wheels fall, and after overcoming - rise with four hydraulic lifts with ball lock. Wheels as well as the main are the leading. The movement gives thanks to the power take-off through the chain of transmission.
Engine and transmission
On BRDM-2 is eight V-shaped four-cycle gasoline engine GAS-41, similar engines, set to "The Seagull" GAZ-13 and GAZ-14. Engine power is 140 l. from. The engine is used combined lubrication system (under pressure and by spraying). Oil pump gear-type two-piece. jet drive also applied oil filter centrifugal cleaning. The total capacity of the fuel tanks is 280 liters.
