The Russian military has begun using a robotic four-charge remote platform for laying anti-tank minefields. The operation of the new device was shown on video in the Telegram channel @RussianArms.
Externally, the platform is a low cart on wheels. The cargo compartment accommodates a bundle of four TM-62M anti-tank mines. The outermost of these is pushed onto the ground thanks to a tilting tray, after which the remaining three mines are removed by a common cable due to the mass of the first.
The novelty will help the military to lay mines in potentially tank-hazardous directions under enemy fire control. From the presented footage, it can be concluded that the platform is driven by a remote-controlled motor, but the operating range is not specified.
It is noted that the standard payload of the platform is 40 kilograms, provided it is loaded with four TM-62M mines, but it may exceed 100 kilograms in the case of evacuation or transport tasks.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the Russian military on the front lines crossed a monowheel and an FPV drone. The device helps to deliver ammunition and provisions.
