Not being a Soviet AFV builder or follower, unfortunately I am unable to recognize the vehicle, but looks like they can find other uses for military vehicles.

My first diorama in a long, long time is coming into focus. That's an awesome photo. I have been wanting to break into Russian armor in a big way. This may be it.

it reminds me of the incident in the Netherlands where a train got stuck under a viaduct, and the only one who could pull it out again was the army with their Leopard ARV's

The Bundeswehr has been using ARV during floodings in Saxonie in 1997 and similar events. TPz Fuchs has been used in 2002 for evac purposes since it retains a deep wading capability
