Components
The main purpose of the BMR-3M is reconnaissance, overcoming and clearing minefields. The width of the created passages during mine clearance is approximately equal to the inter-track or inter-wheel distance of tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers. The machine is capable of making two tracks 800-870 mm wide in anti-tracked minefields, and an uncleaved space 1620 mm wide remains between the tracks. In anti-bottom minefields, the BMR-3M creates a continuous passage, the width of which is 3.2 meters for mines with a contact fuse and up to 6-7 m for mines with a magnetic fuse.
The crew consists of two people: a driver and commander. In addition, in the fighting compartment of the vehicle there are three places for the transport of troops from the sapper units.

The UR-77 is capable of making moves in anti-tank minefields during combat. The passage is about 6 meters wide and 80 to 90 meters long. Despite the fact that the UR-77 is not designed to clear anti-personnel mines, the installation can clear anti-personnel minefields from American M14 pressure mines, creating passages up to 14 meters wide.
Demining is carried out by the occurrence of a shock wave from the explosion of the charge, which affects the mine fuse. However, complete clearance is not guaranteed. So, for example, mines with double-click fuses (TM-62 mine with MVD-62 fuse or Mk7 with fuse No. 5 Mk4), anti-personnel mines of tension action can remain intact. Magnetic, seismic and infrared fuses do not respond to the blast wave.
“Snake Gorynych” was actively used in the first and second Chechen campaigns, during the conflict in Syria, and is also now used in Ukraine. This is a machine that has been proven over the years and has proven itself well.

Remote demining vehicle “Foliage” MDR 15M107 is a Russian remote demining vehicle (MDR) based on the SBA-60-K2 Bulat armored hull, refers to weapons based on new physical principles (microwave weapons).
Developed for the Strategic Missile Forces and included in the columns on the combat patrol routes of the Yars, Topol-M, and Topol PGRKs.
“Foliage” contains a microwave installation, a non-linear locator, as well as automated engineering intelligence tools and other important elements. Thanks to this, it carries out reconnaissance of the area and at the same time blocks or disables the radio-electronic elements of explosive devices. In other words, the machine allows you to disable mines and other explosive devices that have electronic components in their composition.
The output of the electronic filling of mines is carried out by powerful pulsed microwave radiation directed through a parabolic antenna installed on the roof. The clearance width is about 50 meters.
