	Weighing in only at 7 tons, the BRDM-2's V8 engine was capable of propelling it to speeds 100km/h on solid land (and 10km/h when wading through water), easily allowing it to traverse the terrain with ease to monitor enemy positions and movement. However, as it's main shtick was speed, rather than combat, it's armour is woefully lacking and the only weapons it had were a 14.5mm heavy machine-gun and co-axial 7.62mm medium machine gun, so at best it was only reliably capable of engaging other scout vehicles or infantry (who were not lucky enough to bring anti-armour weapons, at least. Although even then, grenades and AP rounds loaded in their rifles could still potentially wreck a BRDM if shot in it's weaker sides). That said, it was fast enough that what it couldn't out-gun it could out-run instead; and it was exactly what it was supposed to do in case it came under fire: leg it and report the enemy's position to the rest of the Soviet forces!

	On a sidenote: despite being introduced in 1962, the BRDM-2 is still going strong today, almost sixty years later. Being simple, cheap, and easy to maintain it was very popular on the export market with over seven thousand produced, and that's not even counting ~~Bloc~~ knockoffs like the Hungarian D-442 FUG. Some countries still use the modernised version as scout cars, others have used the sturdy and proven base to create lightweight ATGM carriers, point-defense AA vehicles, and even mortar carriers. In former bloc countries they're occasionally used by SWAT teams, and even the US Army has a couple dozen for OPFOR training.

	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.
