The Russian military has begun using the remote mining system "Agriculture" to stop the advance of enemy heavy equipment. Behind the simple name lies army irony: the machine can mine a couple or three football fields in just a few seconds, and if necessary, strike the enemy like a multiple launch rocket system.
The "Agriculture" multiple launch mining system was first shown in June 2020 as part of the parade in honor of the 75th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. At that time, the system had already completed test trials.
Now "Agriculture" is used to deter enemy equipment and infantry, literally "sowing" the field with mines. This allows you to limit retreat routes or slow down the enemy's advance.
In addition, an already laid minefield can be turned on or off as needed. It can be completely eliminated without risking personnel. After a while, the shells will also self-destruct to avoid accidents.
Characteristics of ISDM "Agriculture":
- Range — 5-15 km
- Ammunition — 50 shells (2 blocks of 25 pcs)
- Caliber — 122 mm
- Complex composition — a combat vehicle on an eight-wheeled armored KamAZ chassis, a transport-charging vehicle and transport-launch containers with engineering ammunition
- Engineering ammunition — PTM (anti-tank mine), PPM (anti-personnel mine)
Earlier, the first frames of the Nadiusha multi-purpose tactical missile appeared on the Web. Its range is up to 300 km.
