Russian engineers develop automated mine-clearing system

Moscow, Oct 2 (Prensa Latina) Russia's state tech corporation Rostec has developed the Vepr remote-controlled mine clearance system based on the T-90 tank to improve the safety of mine clearance operations, the company announced on Wednesday.

Rostec announced on its official Telegram channel that Vepr was designed based on the T-90 tank, and recalled that the corporation already has experience in developing robotic sappers, such as the unmanned humanitarian demining vehicle.

The new mine-clearing vehicle will move to the front of the column, where it will be most at risk.

This is due not only to the threat from below, for exploding shells, but also to the possibility of an attack from above, for example, from a drone.

The vehicle is therefore equipped with enhanced protection, including dynamic protection, to ensure the crew’s safety.
