2. Russian BRDM-3: Evolution of Soviet Excellence
Russian reconnaissance vehicle design has come a great way with the BRDM-3. Drawing on decades of expertise, this vehicle uses active protection technologies and sophisticated composite armour. Its unique hydropneumatic suspension technology enables remarkable ground clearance modification, therefore enabling the vehicle to rapidly adapt to different terrain conditions. The sensor suite of the BRDM-3 consists on thermal imaging, sophisticated radar systems, and laser warning receivers. With an automated gearbox, the engine plant of the car produces 300 horsepower, allowing it to reach on road speeds of up to 100 km/h. Thanks to its all-encompassing NBC protection system, its capacity to function in chemical, biological, and nuclear settings is maybe most remarkable.
