Notes: This Czech vehicle is used for support of BMP-series, BRDM-series, and BTR-series vehicles, and other vehicles with weights up to 15 tons. It is based on the BVP-2 chassis (the Czech version of the BMP-2), and is very similar in layout and equipment carried to the Russian BREM-2. The turret is removed and replaced with a cable drum and a hatch to access the winch and crew compartment. The winch can pull 17 tons, or double that with the use of return pulleys; this winch has 120 meters of cable. The VPV has a dozer blade that is lowered to brace the vehicle in winching operations. The VPV has a crane mounted at the rear of the vehicle that can lift 5.2 tons and has a reach of 4.5 meters. The vehicle is equipped with full tool sets for work on tracked and wheeled vehicles, as well as a tow bar, welding set and cutting tools, and an air compressor.

The VPV retains the amphibious capability of the BVP-2, but will swamp if waves more than 100mm or currents over 1.2 meters per second are encountered. Czech forces use the VPV, as does Hungary (where it is known as the BMP-1VPV); a few are also used by Russia to supplement their BREM-2s.

Notes: The VT-72B is a recovery vehicle based on the T-72 chassis, built by Czechoslovakia. It is very similar to the BREM-1 in many respects; visually, the biggest difference is that the VT-72B's crane is on the right side of the superstructure instead of the left.

The T-72's turret is removed and replaced with an armored, raised superstructure. The crane can lift 19 tons and has a reach of 7.6 meters, and there is a load platform on the rear of the superstructure that can carry a load of 4 tons. The winch is located in the center of the vehicle, has 200 meters of cable and can pull 40 tons. There is also a secondary winch that can pull 2.5 tons and has 400 meters of cable. Its full width dozer blade located at the front of the vehicle can brace the vehicle. The dozer is also used to dig defensive positions for itself and other vehicles. There is also a rack at the rear of the vehicle for fuel drums and jerry cans. The VT-72B carries a 5kW generator for use with power tools or the welding equipment and air compressor (both issued with the vehicle). Other equipment also includes tools appropriate for working on tanks, excavating tools, and a tow bar.

Czechoslovakia uses the VT-72B in place of the BREM-1; the vehicle is also used by India.
