It was first promoted as an export-oriented private-defense-industry project, then appeared with Ukrainian Air Assault Forces and in Oryx's visually documented Ukrainian losses during the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War.
BREM-84 Atlet, Tracked armored repair and recovery vehicle, Support EquipmentSupport EquipmentBREM-84 AtletTracked armored repair and recovery vehicleThe BREM-84 Atlet is a Ukrainian tracked armored repair-and-recovery vehicle built around the T-84U/BM Oplot tank chassis for towing, recovery, field repair, earthmoving, and heavy component replacement. Public sources describe a very small fleet: one known Ukrainian vehicle accepted into service in 2008, two Thai support vehicles tied to the Oplot-T export order, and later sightings of the Ukrainian vehicle in service after Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion.
APE-5 command post, Mobile automated command-post module, Support EquipmentSupport EquipmentAPE-5 command postMobile automated command-post moduleThe APE-5 is a Russian automated mobile command-post module built by RusBITech for field work and rest by a 9-11-person planning group. Open Russian references describe the system on a KamAZ-63501 chassis with an expandable KK6.3.32 container body, networked workstations, GLONASS navigation, protected videoconferencing, life-support equipment, and a 600 km road range. During the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War, open-source loss trackers have identified Russian APE-5 command posts destroyed in Ukraine, making the system a documented command-and-communications target rather than only a peacetime staff vehicle.

Its modular Typhoon-K layout combines a protected crew cab and rear troop module with hydropneumatic suspension, central tire inflation, NBC protection, camera coverage, and mine/blast protection; Russian examples have been visually documented as destroyed, abandoned, and captured during the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Polish Dzik-2 vehicles were supplied to Ukraine during the 2022 full-scale phase of the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War, where open-source loss trackers later documented destroyed and captured examples.
