New BREM-80 started testing at the training grounds

The recovery vehicle is designed to evacuate stuck and damaged equipment from the battlefield and repair it in the field

Testing of the newest armored recovery vehicles BREM-80 has begun at the training grounds. The equipment, developed on the basis of the T-80 tank, is designed to replace obsolete models and provide effective support for tank units in the most difficult conditions.

Our BREM is based on two types of chassis: T-72/T-90 and T-80. At the same time, it was previously believed that the BREM based on the T-80 would not meet the requirements that are imposed on it. The tests showed that the T-80 machine works very efficiently and very well.

BREM-80 is designed to evacuate stuck and damaged equipment from the battlefield and repair it in the field. The machine is equipped with a winch, crane and bulldozer blade.

In February 2025, the Russian Ministry of Defense presented the modernized BREM-80. The refined vehicle received a solid protective side of the hull, similar to that used on T-80BVM tanks. In addition, the BREM is equipped with a lattice screen to protect against kamikaze drone attacks. Additional protection against drones is provided by an electronic warfare system. The machine is currently undergoing a series of tests.
