Ultimate SUV Truck From Russia - BRDM

Some people say that HUMMER is the most brutal and monster-type production SUV that can be on streets. Russians think a bit different.

There is a truck, which has better off-road abilities than HUMMER, has 10mm all-around armor, anti-vandalism glass-protecting shields, can swim, is much cheaper and looks extremely cool. Just for about $34000 Russians (and Ukrainians) can enjoy it.
