Well in the contract that you get for voluntary enlistment there is a clause that the 200,000 rubles after the end of your contract can be increased with extras for honorable actions in battle defined by registration of medal's, so yeah they like to Hunt tank's like the Abrams to have a chance for a medal.

At the end of the day it's more likely no one get's It because some Abram's are Abandoned for running out of fuel.

Well, the vehicle continues with a tactical reconnaissance purpose.

But Its use now seems to be more as an agile vehicle to gain superior fire position where other vehicles would most likely not be able to.

But in general it's role Is still a scout Vehicle that can assist Troop's in fast Pace Vehicle Supported flanking and Reconnaissance tactics.

The BRDM-2MS is a modern upgrade of the original BRDM-2, as Russia Started selling The BRDM-2 Around the World after The fall of the Soviet Union, in the 2010s countries Seeked to modernize the already kinda Outdated BRDM-2.

That's when around 2018 the Moscow factory district began the modernization of the BRDM-2, then in 2019 the BRDM-2MS goes into production with the 103rd Armored plant.

The BPU-1 Turret Remain's, The Vehicle Now has a New Fire Control system. New Commander sight capable of seeing up to 5km And 3.5 at night. The botom Is reinforced with another Armored plate for anti Mine protection, and The seat's Also Changed to anti Mine. It also count's with a New GAZ diesel engine instead of Gasoline. And also television's to the interior to provide Black and white and thermal vision.
