Details: According to Fedorov, the Russians used the systems to clear the fields for the offensive and destroy the shelters of Ukrainian soldiers.
"Now Zmei Gorynich is a pile of rubbish," summarises the deputy prime minister.
Background: According to Armiya Inform, the UR-83P Zmei Gorynich demining system is usually delivered to its destination by wheeled vehicles.
With a total mass of just over 1.8 tons, it is capable of throwing a UZP-83 charge weighing 1,380 kilograms at a distance of up to half a kilometre. The detonation of such a bomb can create a passage in a mine barrage with a length of more than 110 metres and a width of 6 to 12 metres.
