Jetstory ARV-9 Hercules — Armoured Recovery Vehicle

The Jetstory ARV-9 Hercules is an Armoured Recovery Vehicle designed to tow, recover, and perform field repairs on disabled or stuck tanks and armored vehicles under combat conditions, including under enemy fire. The Hercules is built on the MBT-1 chassis with equivalent full armor protection, ensuring the recovery crew can operate in the same threat environment as frontline tanks. The main hydraulic crane has a lifting capacity of 35 tonnes with a 6-meter reach, sufficient to lift a main battle tank to replace track links, road wheels, or weapon subsystems. The primary winch delivers 150-tonne pulling force on 150m of steel cable, capable of recovering any vehicle in the Jetstory inventory including the 68-tonne MBT-2 Goliath. A secondary 5-tonne crane handles component-level repair work. A front dozer blade allows the vehicle to self-extract from soft ground. Crew: 4. Consumable spares for 48 hours of independent operation. Weight: 58 tonnes.
