BMR-3M/MA “VEPR”

During Afganistan War, the Soviet forces took note of the damage caused by the minefields and developed specific vehicles to enable safe paths to their own forces. The BMR-3 / 3M / 3MA mine clearing vehicles uses the T-72A, T-72S and T-90 main battle tank chassis respectively. In all these vehicles the turrets were removed and a superstructure has been built in its place. In the front of the vehicle, a KMT-7 mine sweeping set, composed by rollers and rakes, has been installed. The mine clearing equipment is completed with an electromagnetic jammer, which is effective against radio-command activated mines. These devices allow the deactivation and elimination of antipersonnel and anti-tank mines at a speed up to 12 km/h, enabling a safe path of almost 4 meters in width.
