Gas-dynamic minesweeper "Progrev-T"


You can hit the enemy in a thousand different ways. This is 1001. The enemy can simply blow off. Forever and ever. And at the same time burn. Fully. At any depth.

Designed to detect and trawling mines installed on paved roads.

TECH SPECS:
- combat weight - 37 t;
- trawling width - 10-12 m;
- trawling speed - 1 ... 3 km / h;
- trawling reliability - 99%;
- continuous operation time - 2,5 h;
- trawling mines to a depth - up to 20 cm (when working as a ripper - up to 50 cm) from the top of the crank it is a cultivator to make a bump suspicious.

It is a chassis tank T-54 with a VK-1 turbojet engine installed on it.

I can imagine how worried the enemy intelligence was when the unknown technical monster once appeared on the Afghan highways. "Monster" fire roads dubbed for a formidable appearance.
The airfield heat engine became the prototype and likeness of the “Warming”. Based on the chassis of the T-54 tank, a jet engine from the MiG-15 was installed, a voluminous tank with kerosene was attached ... It is not surprising that the uninitiated partisan scouts initially took the giant trawler nozzle into the barrel of a strange cannon and reported in panic about future troubles. Meanwhile, the driver of ml. Sergeant V. Kovyazin (in combat stories that name will remain) confidently led the “Warm Up” along the Jalalabad-Asadabad highway, literally revealing the machinations of the saboteurs themselves. In the presentation of the document, it looked like this: "When a gas-dynamic jet is applied to the road cover with destroyed asphalt pavement, soil and rubble are ejected, all the irregularities are clearly exposed ..." Speaking easier, the crew broke the camouflage cover from the mines "clogged" in the rocky bed. They looked like nuts, peeled from the shell.
To the question: where did the "monster" go, just assumptions: it was lost in the mountains, or maybe at the dump of the experimental plant.

      In my opinion, this fool will remove mines in a place with a hard surface.
      The nozzle needs to be mounted on the turret, and just point it towards the enemy, I think only from such a spectacle will all the enemies scatter.

            The effectiveness of such a device, in my opinion, is very conditional, I agree with the opinion of Minesweeper, and also add small settlements. Yes, the consumption of kerosene is decent. In general, I think the "experiment" is not successful.

                    Most AT mines have a built-in non-removable system - therefore, it is clear that the designers foresaw the probability of a very close charge explosion of at least 10 kg.

              Since they will shoot from the basement to which it travels - you just need to turn on the installation in advance - everything that flies towards the installation will be blown away.

        there still come up on the roads surprises (World War II) after the rains, and people die. A woman, a husband and a son, exploded on the road (which they walked all their lives) right in front of their eyes. A German mine appeared! They had been lying there for many years and found several more ammunition. But after all, people walk along this road and cars drive. So I don’t see anything funny here.

The engine from the MIG-17 is standing, special nozzles for supplying degassing and deactivating solutions have been added.

          Before starting up a robot with a water gun, you first need to make sure that there is a charge there and accurately determine the position of the detonator.
          Otherwise, you can simply initiate an explosion by hitting the capsule.
          This unit does just that - it finds and cleans the VU from the covering soil. Then you can start the robot.

      30 years ago, on a railroad near the railwaymen, I saw a snow purifier with a jet engine, they called it that - reagent. They mostly cleaned turnouts very efficiently, but after they all refused, they all didn’t have enough fuel. Unfortunately, I didn’t find a single picture of this installation in nete, I’ll remember the platform and the nozzle inside the turbine on the top of the casing from the bus.

      it’s a pity that it did not survive, because the project is interesting.
      It would look good in a museum in Kubinka next to Object 279.

      This installation had other uses as well. In addition to the fact that with the help of a gas jet it uprooted mines from the ground, and those that remained had to be turned to the surface with a "beak" visible from above, it was also used for:
      - degassing of armored vehicles. Destructive toxic substances or deactivating agents were introduced into the gas stream.
      - blowing a small cover of snow and draining runways at airfields. However, the temperature difference destroyed the coating, causing peeling of gravel, which was sucked into the turbine.

      But a large amount of dust during operation, engine gluttony and low speed buried this idea.
