Российского «Курьера» вооружили лазером для уничтожения мин

The ground robotic complex is capable of eliminating mines from a distance of 150 meters

The Russian robotic platform "Courier" has been armed with a laser for demining. The complex has already passed field tests, noted the Telegram channel Dambiev.

According to the source, the "Courier" received a domestic "Ignis" installation, which allows to actually burn explosive objects without detonating them.

During the tests, a laser beam burned through mines of various types at a distance of 150 m. This allows disposing of explosive objects without risk to personnel and damage to infrastructure.

Tactical and technical characteristics of the "Courier" drone:

  • Dimensions — 1400x1200x580 mm
  • Weight — 250 kg
  • Speed — up to 35 km/h
  • Operating time — from 12 to 72 hours
  • Propulsion — tracked
  •  Electric motors — 6 kW
  •  Control range — from 3 to 10 km

The robot is useful, for example, for demining explosive objects on the runway or mine barriers.
