As a part of Oslo-II Agreement in 1995 , PA authority recieved permission for armored cars to it's police force . PA aquired 45 BRDM-2 vehicles . Particuraly those BRDM-2 were given as gift , by Russian Federation to new born PA authority .
BRDM-2 was permitted as the only Armored Vehicle to be in use of PA security mechanisms , and only in Gaza strip , and not west bank . BRDM-2 is recon Soviet made vehicle , has amphibious qualities, has a long run without refuel of 750 km on road , has very high mobility sence it was designed to be a recon vehicle - has 4 retractable wheels in the belly of the APC besides the 4 regular wheels , every wheel is a leading one , and has special system of changing air pressure on every wheel . APC has 2 Machine guns mounted on it's turret , 14.5mm main KPVT MG , and coaxillary 7.62 mm KPT MG . KPVT has the abillity to shoot down even some light armored targets , and has maximum range of 2 km , while KPT has the maximum range of 1.5 km . The vehicle armor resistent to shrapnel , and light weapons fire . The crue of BRDM-2 is 4 men .
The BRDM-2 was used by PA National Security Force (Kuwaat Al-Amn Watani) , and 17 Force (Amn Al- Ri'asah) . There are several accounts of BRDM-2 presence in West Bank also , thought it was against Oslo agreements (like the supposedly 1996 IDF official report of 6 BRDM-2 presence in Rammalah , near Arafat compound) .
The vehicles were slowly destroyed by IAF attacks sence the rise of second Intiffada in 2000 , when PA security mechanisms failed to stop terror wave , and contributed to it in some ways . The last and biggest known IAF attack was on 20/02/02 IAF AH-64 Apache helicopters attacked 17-force Anzar -2 outpost , and destroyed the vehicles . It remains unknown , if some of the vehicles survived those attacks.
