The B-12 Kurganets-25 Armored Recovery Vehicle (ARV) is intended to recover and repair Kurganets and Boomerang medium-weight armored vehicles damaged in the battlefield.

To avoid enemy fire this new ARV is able to connect tow ropes to an incapacitated military vehicle remotely with the crew protected under armor.
