Ukraine tests the unmanned vehicle to help eliminate minefields throughout the country

Ukraine tests a new unmanned solution that cleans up to 5,000 m² Removing and/or explosion of mines applied by Russian troops in the country. Germina URCM-3000 called the vehicle appeared on March 28.

The remote solution developed by Heavy Kramatork Machinery Factory (KZVV) uses chains with exploding hammers. Neutralizing 75% of localized explosives and explosion capacity of 15%. There is resistance to TNT up to 9 kg.

Weighing 16 tons, the vehicle includes a universal bucket, cleaning and ticket opening. A bucket with a cutter, processing and multifunctional bucket is some of the other additional tools that provide use in forests, fields, trenches and more land.

According to Ukrainian deminating Services (UDS), Germina URCM -3000 has been adapted to different weather conditions from temperatures ranging from -20 ° C to 45 ° C, dealing with a wide range of explosives in the war against Russia. Antivil and anti -personal mines and antifragmentation ammunition are some.

Controlled 1 km away

By providing security in the removal of mines, the machine 1 km away from the destructive area is controlled remotely. The vehicle is strengthened by a 380 horsepower caterpillar motor mounted under a chassis in Italy and has Danish hydraulic components.

In the tests near Bucha, The vehicle did not enter an area of ​​100 m in just 1 minute 35 secondsAccording to UDS, it reaches a depth of 2.7 me of 5 cm. Neutralized models include TM-62 and PTM-4, Minas PFM and grenades.

Based on this performance, Germina URCM-3000 is estimated to be cleaned up to 5,000 m² 5 hectares per hour during working shift. Ukrainian officials claim that they are constantly working up to 10 hours, but require maintenance every two hours.

Deming Machinery, which brings 60% of the parts produced in Ukraine, stands out to reduce the cost compared to imported models in addition to 300% higher efficiency rate. Each unit of the fundamental version is equivalent to $ 3.3 million R for the current offer, for € 500,000.

Ukraine has 23% of the region

According to the website, since the beginning of the conflict, Russian troops have applied at least 13 types of terrestrial minerals on the territory of Ukraine. Army Recognition Group. The explosives of Mon, Minas PFM-1 Series and TM-62 antiver mines are among the most commonly used.

The common application through mechanical placement, manual positioning and remote delivery has led to the pollution of 23% of the Ukraine region, which is currently approximately 139,000 km², with minas. Since most of the region is in agricultural areas, it poses significant risks for population and agricultural activities.

To prevent explosives from becoming a problem for future generations, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he would invest in such destructive machines. In the first half of 2025, at least five units of germina URCM-3000 should be purchased.

The country also uses other unmanned land vehicles and mechanized solutions to accelerate the cleaning work of mined areas. The estimation will last about 10 years and should cost 37 billion dollars ($ 217 billion R).
