The BREM-L armoured vehicle is intended for evacuation of damaged (faulty) lightweight infantry fighting vehicles from battlefield and for rendering assistance to crews in field repair and technical maintenance of the vehicles.
The BREM-L vehicle was developed with consideration of all contemporary requirements to recovery vehicles. Due to perfect combination of mobility, protection and ergonomic factors, the BREM-L vehicle ensures effective performance of the crew in various climatic zones (desert, tropics, deep snow, mountainous areas) with the temperature range of -50oC up to +50oC.
Design of the BREM-L vehicle ensures recover of bogged-in vehicles, self-recovery, towing of controlled and uncontrolled vehicles on various types of terrain and afloat.
The BREM-L special equipment enables to perform repair operations and works intended for evacuation of damaged vehicles (including electric welding and cutting operations with steel and aluminium alloys), to carry out hoisting operations for half-lifting of vehicles during their evacuation, repair or replacement of units and assemblies (including turrets power packs).
TheΒ BREM-L crane and its design peculiarities allow to replace own power pack of the vehicle, to move with a weight on the crane hook (including the turret or power pack) within the repair ground.
The BREM-L cargo platform transportation of different spare parts of the vehicles. Due to its plow-dozer, the BREM-L vehicle can be used for earth-moving operations when arranging repair grounds, and for ground removing in case of extraction of other vehicles.
Two water jet propellers enable the vehicle to develop 9 km/h speed afloat and ensure excellent manoeuvrability. Due to the antisurge vane and the telescopic air intake tube, the vehicle stably moves afloat at up to Sea State 3 and tows lightweight vehicles.
Based on the BMP-3 chassis, the BREM-L recovery vehicle is mostly unified with the standard BMP-3 vehicles. It features similar characteristics of mobility, protection, survivability and ergonomics. All of the above makes the BREM-L vehicle one of the best examples of lightweight recovery vehicles.
