Russian scientists have created new means of overcoming mine barriers. Employees of the Military Institute of Engineering Forces presented two models of mine trawls intended for the protection of wheel and tracked technology. It is reported by “Russian Gazeta”.
Major Andrei Dontsov and Lieutenant Colonel Denis Roslov developed new mine trawls based on modern fighting tactics. Scientists analyzed the existing methods for installing minebones and miners in service with foreign states.
Modular trawl is built on the basis of an elliptical frame that ensures the stability of the system to explode. Modules up to 60 kilograms are mounted on the frame, which allows the crew to collect the device without special equipment. Installation of copying sections of trawl at a certain angle allows you to continue the trawling after a meeting with an irresistible obstacle and on the area drops. New trawl can be used on machine with caterpillar and wheeled chassis.
The second development was the roller trawl, intended for the wheeled vehicles. The device obtained a frame of a special form, which reduces damage from detonation. The trawl is also built according to the modular principle, which allows you to quickly change damaged items.
Both developments can work in conjunction with mining devices with electromagnetic fuses and neutralization of pin min.
previously became aware of the first use of Russian robots in combat orders of general-official units. According to Interfax, on the strategic exercises “West-2021” robotic complexes “URAN-6” were made by passages in mine fields.
