    "notes": "The 9P148 is a Soviet anti-tank missile carrier. Unusually this anti-tank vehicle has got no proper name and is referred to by its military index designation. It is based on a BRDM-2 armored scout car chassis and is fitted with Konkurs (Western designation AT-5 Spandrel) anti-tank guided missiles. It was a successor to the 9P122 anti-tank missile carrier, which was also based on the BRDM-2 chassis, but packed older and less capable Malyutka (AT-3 Sagger) missiles. The 9P148 was first seen in 1977. This missile carrier was exported to a number of Soviet allies. Despite its age, the 9P148 is still used by the Russian military. It is also operational with some former Soviet republics and export operators, including Armenia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Moldova, Romania, and Slovakia.\n\nThe 9P148 vehicle has five Konkurs missiles in a ready-to-launch position on the roof and carries 10 reload missiles internally. When not in use the whole launcher with missiles is retracted inside the hull. The launcher is reloaded under complete armor protection.\n\nThe platform vehicle is a BRDM-2M/GAZ-41-08.\n\nA variety of ATGM mixes have been seen with 9P148, between AT-4 (Spigot) and AT-5-type (Spandrel) ATGMs. The primary benefit of adaptability is increased launcher load and adaptability to user countries' inventories of ATGMs. The most common ATGM is AT-5. As AT-5B is produced, it is likely to replace AT-5 in better-budgeted country inventories.\n\nReload time for the launcher is 25 seconds.\n\nRussian firms have developed countermeasures, such as encoded-pulse beacons for ATGMs and counter-dazzler adjustments to the 9S451M1 guidance box. Filters can be mounted in front of reticles.\n\nThe 1PN66 thermal sight is available for the ATGM launcher. The acquisition range is approximately 2,500 meters.\n\nRussian KBP offers a drop-in one-man turret, called Kliver, with a stabilized 2A72 30-mm gun, a 4 Kornet ATGM launcher, thermal sights, and an improved fire control system.",

This model carries a crew of four: the commander, the gunner, the driver, and the co-gunner. It also has a land navigation system that gives coordinate readings. The late Production version had mushroom-type vents on top of the engine compartment. The final production model had two additional turret periscopes, one on top of the turret and the other one on the left-hand side of the turret, and a TNA-2 navigation apparatus. It was also known under designations BTR-40PB, BTR-40P-2, and GAZ 41-08."

The pole/flag dispensers are located on the rear corners of the vehicle's hull. The dispensers are normally covered with canvas and when required are positioned vertically over the rear of the vehicle. The specialized equipment consists of an automatic gas detector GSA-12, a dosimeter DP-5V, a röntgenmeter DP-3B, decontamination apparatus DK-4K and semi-automatic detection devices PPKhR and VPKhR. The vehicle retains the original armament. The regimental chemical defense platoon and the divisional-level chemical defense company use it, as the does divisional reconnaissance battalion. It was also known under designations BRDM-2RKhA, BTR-40P-2RKh, and BTR-40PB-RKh."
