BAD-2 was a Soviet experimental amphibious armored car, that could be also converted to run on railroad tracks (see draisine). The changing for rail mode took 30 minutes. Only one prototype was built in 1932, designed by engineer P. N. Syachentov. The BAD-2 armored vehicle, weighs 4.6 tons, and is about 5.5 meters long, about 2 meters wide, and about 2.2 meters high. The BAD-2 had a set of special rail road wheels used on the railway. It takes about half an hour to replace all the wheels. After completion, the BAD-2 can be used as a light rail armored vehicle. Rubber tracks can also be installed on the rear wheels of the armored vehicle to transform into a half-track vehicle to enhance its off-road capability. Behind the engine compartment is the higher crew compartment. The front left is the driver's position.
