Uralvagonzavod has created a unique 3-in-1 engineering armored vehicle based on the T-90 tank. The UBIM (universal armored engineering vehicle) combines the capabilities of three engineering vehicles at once: an armored recovery vehicle (BREM), an obstacle clearing engineering vehicle (IMR), and an armored mine clearance vehicle (BMR). In other words, BREM, IMR, and BMR were combined to create UBIM.
The Uralvagonzavod earthmoving armored vehicle is designed "to ensure the advancement of troops and the performance of engineering work under fire, including in radioactively contaminated areas."
UBIM can lay road surfaces, make passages in stone and forest blockages, fill in ditches, arrange exits and entrances on steep river and ravine banks up to 6 m high, fell trees and uproot stumps, and lay paths across virgin snow. In general, UBIM is an ideal machine for the Russian hinterland and an excellent household helper.
The developers equipped the UBIM with a bulldozer blade, a hydraulic hammer installed instead of an excavator bucket, winches, and a set of tools for overcoming mine-explosive barriers.
From the army attributes of the UBIM is a remotely controlled combat module with a 12.7 mm machine gun, thermal imager, and laser rangefinder.
