Judging by the footage, the BAT-2 CEV fell into the hands of our military in operational condition.

The Russians lost their equipment during the offensive of Ukrainian forces in the Kharkiv Region. Fighters of the Defense Forces liberate the region from the invaders.

BAT-2 is a combat engineering vehicle designed to mechanize engineering works when laying column tracks, preparing and equipping unit positions in combat areas.

Combat engineering vehicle is designed for:

The main parts of the CEV are the basic machine (product 454 or MT-T) and working equipment.

The working equipment includes bulldozer, loosening and crane equipment, power take-off mechanism, hydraulic drive and electrical equipment.

The vehicle is used not only for military purposes, but also to help civilian citizens during emergencies or natural disasters.
