These Are the Most Expensive Military Vehicles in the World

11. BRDM-2 – Russia

It is practically impossible to leave the vehicle during combat because there is just one exit—through the front hatches—which puts crew members in direct line of fire. Although some have been updated, most BRDMs still have this issue.

12. SHKH VZ.77 DANA – Czech Republic

Manufacturer: ZTS Dubnica nad Váhom, Konstrukta Trencin Main Users: People's Army of Czechoslovakia Sale Price: $6,056* (total cost) The DANA series of wheeled, self-propelled artillery pieces includes the SHKH VZ.77 DANA. The Slovak version of the DANA is called the VZ.77. It fires more frequently and with greater accuracy. With its improved on-board control system, the Slovak modification allows for a five-to-four crew reduction and increased combat efficiency.

The government was ecstatic about the development since the DANA's indigenous nature prevented the Czechoslovaks from having to purchase the 2S3 Akatsiya SPG from the Soviet Union.
