The FAS link says the vehicle does not protect against artillery fragments. Hmm... --24.118.77.253 18:06, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Actually, it says it can be penetrated by artillery fragments. This is true for all lightly-armoured vehicles. —Michael Z. 2005-12-10 18:34 Z

So...are we agreeing? --24.118.77.253 23:01, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

The BRDM-1 llink brings us right back around to the BRDM-2 page. Er...

We should probably move this article to BRDM (also currently redirecting here), since these are not highly-differentiated models. Any objections? —Michael Z. 2005-12-27 19:43 Z

[edit] BRDM -3 Links Here?

The BRDM-3 is totally different,it's tracked. Dudtz 1/13/05 10:10 PM EST

[edit] Merge from BRDM-1

I've suggested that the article BRDM-1 be merged into this one. The vehicles are not identical, but they are a series, very similar in construction and employment. They can be merged into one comprehensive article, and someday when it grows large, the individual models and variants can be spun off into high-quality articles. Any objections? —Michael Z. 2006-10-19 15:31 Z

Object. 1.They look totally differently (turret), 2.BRDM-1 is almost obsolete and not used, variants of BRDM-2 are still in use and will be for some time. 3. They have a different internall design: BRDM-1 engine in the front, BRDM-2 engine in the rear. Mieciu K 20:04, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Hm, true, although the turret is a detail (versions of both vehicles had different armament configurations). But they are based on the same chassis, and used in the same roles, reconnaissance, NBC recce, and antitank. They were even called BTR-40P and BTR-40PB, respectively. —Michael Z. 2006-10-20 07:56 Z
