Need an armored military-grade taxi? Flag one down in St. Petersburg (VIDEO)
An armored reconnaissance vehicle is being used as a taxi on the streets of St. Petersburg just like any cab. Painted in strident red, the vehicle draws attention with its military design and its deactivated turret machine gun.
The BRDM APC (Combat Command and Reconnaissance Vehicle) has been launched as a public taxi after a long licensing campaign. The city authorities at first refused to grant a permit.
Finally, permission was given, yet with certain conditions, including changing the vehicle’s camouflage pattern into something more civilian. So the BRDM’s owner chose the red color used for fire-fighting vehicles to differ from standard yellow taxi color.
