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.
