The negligible level of protection provided by the BRDM-2 armor results in the imposition of various types of additional shields by Ukrainian and Russian soldiers. Our soldiers faced a akin problem while in Afghanistan, where the threat of hitting a cumulative warhead from a hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher was very common. 1 of the proposals to solve this issue was improvised shields, although the Polish manufacture presented [its proposal](https://twitter.com/mkailodz/status/1790646777252643264). Thus the years pass, the BRDM-2 shield is inactive mediocre and the soldiers on it must improvise to increase their chances of survival.
