denazified - UR-77 Meteorit clears the way for 'winged infantry' near Kremennaya

30.05.23 💥 According to the commander of the engineering company, call sign 'Sigara', the firing range of the mine clearing vehicle can reach 500 metres. The UR-77 has two 96-metre-long charges, each containing more than a tonne of plastic explosive.

💣 In modern warfare, when the enemy is equipped with the most advanced weapons, this equipment is simply indispensable, the paratroopers believe. 'Human lives come first. The deminer himself doesn't go into a minefield. As there are thermal imaging cameras everywhere - it's not safe, so remote demining is better,' says the commander of the engineering company.

💥 Not only minefields, but also enemy strongholds can be engaged by the Meteorit. Airborne Troops engineers have repeatedly used the system to perform unrelated tasks, and the UR-77 has proved to cope with enemy installations just as well. #MoD
