Newest mining system “Agriculture” began to enter the troops. This was reported by the press service of Rostec.
Tests of the latest Russian engineering system for remote mining “Agriculture” were completed in early October, after which it was announced that they were waiting for the start of deliveries of the system to the troops. According to preliminary information, announced earlier by the Ministry of Defense, first deliveries were expected at the beginning 2021 of the year, but started back in December.
The complex “Agriculture” includes a combat vehicle on an eight-wheeled armored chassis “KamAZ”, transport-loading vehicle and transport-launch containers with engineering ammunition. The system allows you to quickly create minefields in especially dangerous areas at a distance from 5 to 15 km. At the same time, modern equipment allows you to create minefields quickly and according to a given pattern., ie. any configuration. The system lays a minefield of any complexity, including with ready passages for their troops.
“Agriculture” resembles a MLRS system “city”. The ammunition of the system has a caliber 122 mm, each machine has two packages mounted 25 mine-laden missiles, replacement can be carried out immediately of the entire block. The combat vehicle is equipped with a satellite navigation system, computer and weather station. This allows you to make adjustments and take into account the impact of weather on missile flight..
For the first time, an engineering remote mining system “Agriculture” was presented at the Victory Parade, held this year.
