Sappers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces master SPARK mine trawls for HMMWV off-road vehicles

In Ukraine, sappers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are mastering SPARK mine sweepers for Humvee off-road vehicles (HMMWV), which have provided the United States as technical military assistance. Such mine action equipment is produced by the British company Pearson Engineering, one of the world leaders in the production of mine clearance devices.

This was reported by the "ArmyINFORM" news agency, owned by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

Lieutenant Colonel Sergey Matveychuk, senior officer of the department of engineering obstacles and mine countermeasures of the Command of the Support Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, spoke about the fundamental differences between the SPARK trawl and others in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. If other trawls are designed to make passages in their own and enemy minefields, then the scope of British products is much wider.

This SPARK trawl is designed primarily to support the mobility of troops, that is, it reduces the risks of detonation on explosive items of military equipment and personnel when moving convoys

- noted Matveychuk.

Unlike ordinary tank trawls, SPARK has been designed for installation on vehicles and tactical wheeled platforms.

The trawl consists of three roller sections - four rollers in the outer sections and six in the central section. They provide contact with the surface causing explosive objects to detonate. The necessary pressure is generated hydraulically, and the air suspension maintains continuous contact with the surface, even in difficult terrain.

Such a unit should be made unmanned, but it is better to immediately hand over it to scrap metal and spend on drink.

The rollers perform well on hard ground, but will get bogged down on soft ground and mud.

And there is such a mine -minist, especially for ukrovoyak, the trawl passes and under the pusher - bzdyn!

yes, the mortar is called

She reacts to the smell of bacon ... ?? Moreover, it lets through those who have a small piece of clothing "just to themselves", but who are zazhratyh wholesalers, on the way to tears. For not to hell! And she's harsh with the shit smuggling too. Mine-minis ... that's what they call her. Andrey,

So I guessed the name,

But our equestrian Buryats
Any mine will dive
They will all bypass obstacles
And! Experience ukram will kick ...

Those. a device for complacency and on the beaten track. After all, if an ATM is blown up at such a distance, the driver of the Humvee will have a good chance of meeting the creator. And in the case of small things, something will fly into the glass ...

Here, here ... it is interesting to undermine the TM-62 it was tested?

The elves were most likely afraid; left STE Ukrainians.

TM 89 will be cooler in high-explosive terms.

Can it be used as an asphalt roller? ...

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

Can. But only as a "skating rink" on the brains of Klitschko.

Well, that kind of thing is better than nothing. The carrier of the HMMWV will probably suffer when hitting a mine (depending on the power of the mine), but the convoy following him will be saved.

In general, Pearson Engineering also makes more sophisticated machines - with sensors, video cameras, hydraulic manipulators, quick replacement of rollers ...

[Vadim237]

Russia also has something similar, like these machines, only more universal - UBIM

and where is the photo in action. raving again

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

Not the army, but the purchase of non-ferrous scrap.

I would give a Darwin Prize to the crew of this car ....
