By Alimat Aliyeva

The US Department of Defense has begun the next stage of testing an updated version of the M88A3 HERCULES armored recovery vehicle (BRAM), designed to evacuate upgraded Abrams tanks, Azernews reports.

Currently, two BRAM are being tested for reliability and maintainability at the Yuma proving ground located in Arizona.

During the tests, each car traveled over 4,800 kilometers. In addition, a winch is being tested at the landfill, which should work with a weight of about 80 tons. The BRAM tests began in March and will last until the end of this year.
