BRDM-2

Overview
The BRDM-2 is an amphibious armoured patrol APC used by Russia and the former Soviet Union. They are now used extensively by the SAF due to their versatility, carrying capacity, and cost. The BRDMs are lightly armored leading to them being referred to as "Rolling Coffins" by the mechanized units that used them.

Cost
The cost of a BRDM-2 used by the SAF is anywhere from $6,800 USD or 1,100 SSC in extremely poor condition to an average of $25,000 USD (4,000 SSC) for a lightly used vehicle. This allows room for several BRDM-2s to be financially viable on an annual basis.
