The armored recovery and repair vehicle was designed by Kharkiv-Morozov design bureau specialists to conduct evacuation operations and repair works in the field conditions. "Atlet" is equipped with a crane unit able to lift up to 25 tons, allowing to replace the main nodes and components of a main battle tank, including its turret and engine. For towing/evacuation purposes, “Atlet” is equipped with a winch: maximum gravity load is up to 250 kN – enough to take out a main battle tank. Special equipment allows “Atlet” to tow combat equipment at 25 km/h maximum.

A 1,000 hp engine enables “Atlet” to reach 70 km/h. In addition, BREM can carry up to a 1.5-ton load. It is equipped with a welding machine and other tools allowing the recovery tank to carry out a wide range of tasks on restoring combat capability of armored vehicles in field conditions.
