The latest arrival at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport isn't an aircraft.....but a tank!

International airports often have a wide variety of vehicles for a wide variety of tasks, but Moscow's Domodedovo Airport has gone one step further.  It has obtained an armoured recovery vehicle (BREM-1), which has been developed from a T-72 tank. 

The special machines were custom-built by Rostec’s UralVagonZavod and Moscow Domodedovo Airport is the first in Russia to acquire a civilian version of the vehicle.  “These new custom vehicles can conduct recovery works requiring drawing force more than 125 tons and tow a jumbo jet”, said Igor Borisov, the Director of Moscow Domodedovo Airport.
