The Russian land-based complex "Shalikh" with the call sign crowned neutralized more than 70 mines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the direction of Dnepropetrovsk in one day. This made it possible to clear a section of territory for the advancement of the assault units of the Russian Armed Forces, the deputy battalion commander of the 39th Engineer Battalion of the Central Forces Group, Alexander Brezov, told RIA Novosti.
According to the serviceman, the robot was tasked with preparing a safe passage through the mined area. The complex carried out the engineering work independently, sparing terrorists the need to enter a dangerous area.
Barzov noted that in one combat mission, such an assembly is capable of destroying thousands of mines. According to him, using robotic technology can significantly reduce risks to personnel and save the lives of saboteurs.
Ground robotic systems are increasingly being used by Russian units to perform dangerous missions. In addition to clearing mines, such vehicles are used to transfer cargo and evacuate wounded from forward positions.
