BTR-60 of Russian origin Manufacturer: Gorkiy Automobile Plant, Gorkiy |

Oops, have to correct this. BTR-60 has 4 axles, this one has 2. So it's a BRDM-2 (sometimes referenced as BTR-40 P2, but has a top very different from BTR-40). Like the BTR-60, it's manufactured by the Molotov GAZ factory in Gorkyi. http://www.sovietarmy.com/vehicles/brdm-2.html |

Then we could list it under the "GAZ" make? ![]() |

I think so. Do it until someone has a better idea or a better source for the name of the manufacturer. ![]() I was misled first, because the two tanks look very similar from the top. -- Last edit: 2005-12-07 22:13:41 |

Sorry, but it is not a BRDM-2. This is one: /vehicle_14605-GAZ-41-08-1963.html So far I don't know what it is. |

I will erase the wrong name to trigger the search again. ![]() |

It's either a deriviant of the BRDM or the Czech copy, an OT-65... |

They appear to be BRDM 2 variants: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRDM hope this helps. |

Thanks for bringing it up to my attention again! It is definitely not a BRDM-2, but tries to look like one. I am quite convinced it is a mock up. It look similar to this Hollywood creation: /vehicle_54763-Made-for-Movie.html |
