The army of Russia buys 22 Uranium-6 robots sappers

On May 25, 2020 the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation announced purchase of 22 engineer Uranium-6 robots. 12 of them are already transferred to Moscow region base of storage,  after them will send to engineering divisions of the Western and East military districts. Other equipment will be received until the end of the year.

The Ministry of Defence noted what robots is transported by KAMAZ trucks with the multielevator system — the platform with hydraulic drives which facilitates loading and unloading of robotic devices (all process takes 3-4 minutes).

"Uranium-6" is intended for making of passes in antipersonnel minefields and continuous cleaning of the area of explosive objects in the mode of remote control. Range of finding of the operator during management of a robotic complex is up to 1 km.

The complex allows to exclude direct participation of the serviceman during the course of performance of the tasks connected with risk for life and also with sufficient degree of reliability to provide continuous mine clearing of the area from explosive objects that significantly raises possibilities of engineering divisions, TASS reports.

Ground forces of Russia use  Uranium-6 robots sappers from the middle of the 2010th years. These devices can be equipped one of  five different trawls and  bulldozer dumps.

"Uranium-6" has four video cameras providing the circular overview. A system is capable to detect independently explosive devices and  to destroy them   at the command of the operator. The maximum power of the destroyed devices is 60  kg in  a trotyl equivalent. "Uranium-6" can clear of mines the area with  a speed up to 3 km/h (to  0.5 km / chpri to work on  the stony soil).

The Uranium-6 complexes it is developed and made by "the 766th management of a production and technology complete set"  (JSC 766 UPTK).
