The primary multifunctional robotic demining complex currently employed is the “Uran-6,” as confirmed by Colonel Oleg Kryzhanovsky, head of the International Mine Center of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. This system has undergone enhancements based on its operational performance during the special military operation, with improvements made to armor protection and communication systems. The Uran-6 is capable of creating safe passage through minefields and conducting thorough area clearance from explosive threats, focusing primarily on the destruction of anti-personnel mines. For countering anti-tank mines, the heavy robotic demining complex “Stalker” is under development, having been trialed in liberated areas, such as Avdiivka, in 2024. Additionally, the lightweight mobile robotic complex “Kobra-1600” has proven effective for urban mine threats. For inspecting inaccessible areas like tunnels, basements, and wells, compact surveillance systems “Scarabeus” and “Sphere” are implemented. Unmanned aerial vehicles also play a crucial role, with a broad spectrum of drones utilized for remote detection of explosive devices and delivery of charges for their neutralization. Collectively, these advancements in robotic demining technology signify a critical evolution in enhancing operational safety and efficiency in hazardous environments.
