Team Yankee: WWIII: Soviet: BRDM-2 Recon Platoon (x4 Plastic)

The BRDM-2 ( Boyevaya Razvedyvatelnaya Dozornaya Mashina 2, or Combat Reconnaissance Patrol Vehicle 2) is a four wheeled amphibious reconnaissance vehicle. The BRDM-2 has been designed to cope with a range of terrain. In addition to being amphibious, it also has two pairs of belly wheels that can be lowered by the driver for trench crossing and has a centralised tyre pressure system that is used to adjust pressures to suit the ground conditions. The Spandrel is a light mobile armoured vehicle mounting five excellent wire-guided 9M113 Konkurs (Contest, AT-5 Spandrel) anti-tank missiles. The vehicle is based on the same BRDM-2 chassis used in the reconnaissance role. Its road speed and cross-country mobility enables it to quickly adopt fire positions in varied terrain. The SA-9 Gaskin (as it has been designated by NATO), or Strela-1M (Arrow‑1M) as it is known in the Soviet Army, is a wheeled, amphibious Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) system. It is based on the same vehicle as the BRDM-2 reconnaissance vehicle and the Spandrel anti-tank vehicle. The missile system has both optical and infra-red guidance, and a radar detector.
