Notes: This armored recovery vehicle is a variant of the MT-LBu used by Bulgaria. It is used to recover and repair vehicles of a similar size and weight. The roof has a telescopic crane that can lift 3 tons, and can be extended over the entire vehicle to a maximum of 3.4 meters. (The operators can also restrict weight lifted to 2 tons, in which case the crane may be extended to 5 meters.) The rear of the vehicle has a large blade similar to that on the engineering variant of the MT-LB that is used to brace the vehicle when using the crane. It can also be used to prepare vehicle entrenchments, and the MTP-1 can prepare a hull-down position for a main battle tank in 110 minutes. The MTP-1 also has a winch that can pull 30 tons, or 10 tons when not braced by the dozer blade. The MTP-1 is fully amphibious. The cupola of the MT-LBu is retained.
