A robot makes passages in minefields.

The military robot of the IRobot company masters a new specialty. Now the robot, which is called Warrior (Warrior) and which is a light version Robot Python, uses the Mk7 APOBS (Anti-personnel Obstacle Breaching System). The robot will be able to effectively make passages in various anti-personnel obstacles: minefields and barbed wire fences. Moreover, the robot does not directly enter the minefields itself, but works at a distance.

How does this happen? Soldiers remotely bring the robot closer to the field on which anti-personnel barriers are mounted. Then the robot shoots a rocket in the desired direction. Rocket-mounted fragmentation grenades and a small parachute are attached to the rocket on the 45 meter cable. After the shot, the rocket, flying, falls to the ground, pulling the cable with grenades into line. Grenades explode on the ground, undermining mines and barriers. The result is a clearly distinguishable and safe path for infantry and vehicles.

Useful thing. Sapper may soon become history.

Rich Ads!

BUGAGA Here is the most remarkable example of "advertising" of US products - which of those who watched drew attention to how this "insect" got to the mine clearance line? I mean, it moves along a piece of a flat, solid, often asphalt highway, and this will happen on a dry terrain with hard ground and with the most probable European ground, often just with wild mud! Moreover, there is completely no admissibility of even small-scale counteraction !! Now look at the "mountain"

Here is a system that is designed to mine not only from a situation where “it’s light, heat and do not bite flies,” but even under small arms fire (except for anti-tank weapons).
But all the “buyers” will just see this “super duper progressive” mine clearance system.
