The Ministry of Defense has decided to supply the Uran-6 mine clearance systems to the troops

The Defense Ministry intends to start deploying the Uran-6 unmanned demining systems, a decision in principle has already been made, Izvestia reports with reference to the military department.

According to the Defense Ministry, the Uran-6 complexes will be put into service with individual engineer regiments and brigades, and deliveries will begin this year. The first batch, according to the available information, will receive the 16th engineer regiment of the 20th Guards Army of the Western Military District (ZVO).

On July 10 this year, the press service of the Western Military District announced the arrival of the first Uran-6 mine clearance complex. It will be tested on the basis of the engineer regiment in the Voronezh region and will take part in the training and combat training of sappers.

Uran-6 is supplied with a new platform for transportation, which is a KamAZ equipped with a multi-lift system and a platform for changing trawls. The robotic complex located on the platform in a short time lowers to the ground using a hydraulic drive and also quickly rises. The process takes a maximum of 4 minutes.

The multifunctional robotic demining complex (MRTK) "Uran-6" is designed for making passages in minefields, as well as for area clearance of territories. Depending on the cleared area, a roller, strike or milling trawl, bulldozer blade or mechanical gripper can be installed on the machine. The weight of the machine on a light tracked platform is about 6 tons. Management is carried out by one operator, located from Robot at a safe distance (up to 1 km).

The complex was tested in Syria during the clearance of Palmyra, Aleppo and Deir ez-Zor. As a result of the "Syrian business trip", the complex was modernized taking into account the comments identified during its operation.

here are the robots and come to the troops

This is far from a robot, but a radio-controlled cart.

[Swan]

This means that the trial operation has a positive result.

These are systems for "humanitarian" and not for "combat" demining.
It is not a fact that the MO needs them. If you do not attach this task to the ministry.
Which in the mind would be worth shifting to independent private contractors. Well, or a separate state agency, if this seems too revolutionary.

Multifunctional robotic demining complex

I still don’t understand what is robotic in it? It's like just a radio-controlled drone, isn't it? Or does it contain elements of AI?

[Pavel57]

And if he gets stuck in a minefield, who will pull him out?
