→ BREM-L Armoured recovery vehicle General description
The BREM-L armoured recovery vehicle is intended for evacuation of damaged (faulty) IFVs and other light-weight vehicles from the combat zone and for rendering assistance to crew when field repair and maintenance are required.
The BREM-L ensures
- Extraction of bogged-in vehicles
- Self-extraction in case of bogging-in
- Towing of controlled and uncontrolled vehicles under various terrain conditions and afloat
- Repair works (including electric-welding cutting operations with steel and aluminium alloys) intended for vehicles evacuation
|
- Hoisting operations for partial lifting of vehicles during evacuation, repair and replacement of units and assemblies (including turrets and power packs), and when its own power pack is replaced
- Moving with a weight (including the turret) on the crane hook within the repair ground
- Conveyance of spare parts (including the power pack)
- Excavation works when arranging repair grounds and for ground removing in case of extraction of vehicles

Two water jet propellers enable the vehicle to develop 10 km/h speed afloat and ensure excellent manoeuvrability. Due to the antisurge vane and the telescopic air intake tube, the BREM-L stably moves afloat at Sea State 3 and tows lightweight vehicles. The BREM-L vehicle easily comes ashore at Sea State 3. It can stay in water with the cut-in and shut-down engine for a long time with all the vehicles systems retain their serviceability.
Based on the BMP-3 chassis, the BREM-L recovery vehicle is fully unified with the BMP-3 IFV. It features similar characteristics of mobility, protection and survivability. All of the above makes the BREM-L vehicle one of the best examples of lightweight recovery vehicles.
