Russian Armed Forces servicemen have various means at their disposal to destroy enemy fortifications, including timber-earth firing points (pillboxes) and anti-tank obstacles (granite pillars buried in the ground), according to military expert Evgeny Damantsev.
These defensive nodes will not be able to withstand the high-precision strikes of guided glide bomb modifications FAB-500M-62, FAB-500T, and FAB-1500M-54.
Anti-tank obstacles will be removed by IMR-2M obstacle clearing vehicles. Armored mine clearing vehicles BMR-3M "Vepr" will handle minefields, supported by UR-77 "Meteorit" rocket mine clearing systems.
IMR-2 was developed by specialists from JSC "Design Bureau of Transport Engineering" (now "Omsk Transport Engineering Plant", part of Rostec), and the attachments were developed at SKB-200 of the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant. Serial production of the obstacle clearing vehicle began in 1982. It was adopted into service by the USSR Armed Forces and is now used by Russian engineering troops.
BMR-3M "Vepr" was developed on the basis of T-72, T-90, and T-90A tanks. It is used to create passages equal to the inter-track/inter-wheel distance of tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and armored personnel carriers. The armored mine clearing vehicle is produced at Uralvagonzavod. The main operator is Russia.
UR-77 "Meteorit", better known as "Zmey Gorynych", replaced the UR-67 in the troops. The rocket mine clearing system was created on the basis of the 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled howitzer. It has been in serial production since 1978. It is in service with the armed forces of Russia, Azerbaijan, Syria, and Belarus.
