How Russia created a ‘mine field’ in Ukraine with a remote mine-laying complex

Zemledeliye is a remote minelaying complex, designed and developed by Russia’s Rostec Corporation. This complex first appeared in public at the Army 2016 International Military Technical Forum and was tested in many subsequent Russian Army exercises.

Zemledeliye is designed based on the 8×8 Kamaz 6560 military truck chassis. Each minelayer carries 50 122mm rocket rounds. Because it is a self-propelled launch vehicle operating far from the front line, the mine spreader is only equipped with basic firepower and anti-splinter armor.

This automatic mine-laying vehicle uses two types of ammunition: 3M16, which carries 5 anti-personnel mines, and the remaining ammunition, 9M28K, which carries 3 PTM-3 anti-tank mines. Zemledeliye is capable of launching mines that cover an area equivalent to the size of several football fields at distances ranging from 5km to 15km. The danger of Zemledeliye is that minefields can be deployed within minutes, making it impossible for the enemy to move and be destroyed by other types of firepower.

The launch vehicle of the Zemledeliye complex is equipped with satellite navigation, ballistic computers and the ability to connect to the battlefield command system to provide coordinates of targets and areas that need to be mined to be most effectively deployed.

A special feature of the Zemledeliye complex is its intelligent programming ability, allowing combat crews to customize mines to target specific targets such as armored vehicles or infantry in complex combat environments on a timely basis. real time.

In Ukraine, the vast minefields deployed by the Russian Army on the battlefield have a significant contribution from Zemledeliye automatic mine-laying complexes.
