War in Russia

Military personnel of the repair and evacuation unit of the North group of forces continuously evacuate, restore, repair and modernize military equipment and weapons in the zone of a special military operation

Specialists of the repair and evacuation units of the North group of troops are in constant readiness to carry out the combat mission of evacuating Russian military equipment with various malfunctions, as well as removing equipment abandoned by the enemy from the line of combat contact. In one of the areas in the air defense zone, a T-80 tank developed a malfunction after completing a combat mission. The footage shows an armored recovery vehicle in action. A tractor based on the T-72 tank drags the “eighty” behind it. The vehicle broke down on the line of combat contact. And even though the T-80 weighs more, the ARV does not feel it - there is enough power.

The principle is the same as with cars on the road: pick it up with a cable, fix it and pull it back. Only here speed plays an important role. The crew is only three people. But only one BREM comes out to help - you can’t crowd and hesitate here. These rare shots were filmed on action cameras by the military. They don’t even take fighters from the rembat with them to help - enemy drones are constantly prowling the sky.

At a sufficiently safe distance from the line of combat contact, the tank is lifted onto the trawl. They act as quickly as possible so that enemy UAVs do not have time to notice equipment and personnel. The armored vehicle has double protection. The first layer is thick iron, the second is camouflage nets so that the drones jump away.

And on top of the lid is its own talisman - the Serpent Gorynych. It was also welded by members of the repair and restoration battalion. In honor of the call sign of the deputy platoon commander. The damage to the T-80 turned out to be minor. But the crew certainly would not have been able to fix it on the spot.

With the help of an armored repair and recovery vehicle, other tanks also arrive here for “treatment.” And they are also returned to service as quickly as possible. Nothing is impossible for the specialists of the repair and evacuation units; they are always ready to help. During an evacuation, aerial surveillance posts with electronic warfare equipment and anti-drone guns are always set up to ensure the safety of the crews.

The speed of repairs in workshops deployed in the field will be the envy of the best car services. But speed of repair does not come at the expense of quality. Military mechanics do everything as if for themselves. After repairs, they themselves take the crew's seats and make sure to check each vehicle before returning it to the front line.
