A video from a Russian Auto magazine releases first images of the Kurganets-25 BREM, the armoured recovery vehicle variant of the Kurganets-25 family. It looks similar to the Kurganets-25 BTR and BMP in appearance but with some specific features to repair or evacuate damaged vehicles.

The standard turret of the Kurganets-25 BTR and BMP variants has been replaced without the missile and the active protection system but the vehicle uses the same fighting module as the Kurganets-25 BTR armed with a 12.7 mm machine gun. There is six smoke grenade dischargers at the front of the turret.
The upper part of the hull is modified to accommodate a swivelling jib crane mounted to the right side of the vehicle. It is also fitted with a towing winch and extra armored containers for tools and spares. Using the winch and cables, the Kurganets-25 BREM will towed damaged vehicles, while the crane will be used by its crew in replacing damaged units with brand-new ones carried on board. A large dozer blade is mounted at the front of the hull. According the manufacturer, the Kurganetsd-25 BREM is superior to its predecessors, the BMP-3 recovery vehicle BREM-L, in terms of a higher lifting capacity of its crane and a higher pull of its winch. The Kurganets-25 BREM uses same components of the Kurganets-25 BTR and BMP variants for the suspension and power pack. It has also the same level of protection with passive armour mounted on each side of the hull. |
