According to our first analysis of the T-16 BREM, the vehicle seems to have a crew of three with three hatches located at the front of the hull. The standard turret of the T-14 is removed and replaced by small remotely operated weapon station armed with a Kord 12.7mm caliber heavy machine gun.
The T-16 BREM uses the same chassis and suspension as the T-14 and the T-15. A crane is mounted on the right side on the top of the hull which is protected at the front with a slat armour. As every recovery vehicle of Russian army, the T-16 BREM is fitted with hydraulically operated dozer/stabilizing blade mounted at the front of the hull. The front of the chassis and front sides of the hull seems to be fitted with passive armour while the rear part is covered with slat armour. There is two blocks of 12 launcher tubes mounted on the front of the turret, which are part of the Afghanit APS (Active Protection System) also available for the T-14 MBT and T-15 IFV. |
