The BRDM-2 is a passive recon unit open to all PACT forces with one job: expand your deployment area and bail out immediately afterwards.

At a piddly 1-2 points for 2-4 BRDMs, you get a scout car that has a measly frontal armour of 1, armed with a 14.5 MG. The lack of armament and small unit size means that this is an easy kill point for your opponent, especially without the scout special rule. It does have AT5 which can cut through artillery pieces, but using them on the offensive is very situational.

Depending on your playstyle, you may prefer BMP recce if you want all your units to have the chance of making their points back or contributing to the battle as it goes on. If you simply need recon as cheaply as possible, the BRDM-2 is unit for you. Note that you may not take both: a battalion has a single recon platoon slot and you can either get a BRDM or BMP-1 Recon platoon (or BMP-2 if you are playing the Soviets.)

As utility units, you are buying these for their special rules and NOT the weapons they bring to the table. Keep them out of sight and get the hell out of there as soon as possible.
