Late in 2022 Rostec corporation started supplying Russian Army with a new state-of-the-art remote mine-laying system Zemledeliye (Agriculture). The system is a significant improvement in the field of mine-laying technology. The system includes combat vehicle, transport-loading vehicle mounted on a chassis of a KaMaz 6560 truck and launch pod containers loaded with various types of mines. The combat vehicle carries 50 rockets of 122-millimeter caliber (2 blocks of 25 pieces) loaded with mines. The transport-loading vehicle allows fast reloading. System reloading takes only a few minutes. The ISDM Zemledeliye can mine a large area within minutes from a distance of 5 to 15 kilometers. Its intelligent programming feature allows operators to configure the system for a certain type of target, area size and distance. The fire computer receives electronic map co-ordinates and area to be mined, and creates a program for mining that area, including the number of mines required. It is possible to create minefields of different sizes and shapes with a given density of ammunition. The combat vehicle of the ISDM Zemledeliye system is equipped with satellite navigation, a computerized fire control and a weather station. This allows operators to make real-time adjustments, which account for weather conditions. The truck is fitted with three smoke grenade launchers on each side of the control cabin for self-protection. Mines incorporate a self-distract mechanism as required by international convention. The development of the “friend or foe“ system allows to distinguish enemy soldiers from friendly ones. Each friendly soldier will have a sensor, which will disactivate the mines at certain distance to friendly forces and then activate them again when sensors move away. Zemledeliye can lay anti-tank and anti-personnel mines. The POM-3 “Medallion“ is a jumping fragmentation anti-personnel mine that weighs 1.3 kilogram. When dispersed from its container, the landmine lands using a parachute. It stands upright on six spring-loaded feet on a hard ground. If it lands on a soft ground, it buries itself into the ground to a depth of its body height. The mine is activated by a seismic proximity sensor forced into the ground. It has a catalogue of seismic signatures. The sensor detects approaching footsteps and compares them to the pre-programmed seismic signatures. If the vibrations match one in catalogue and have increasing amplitude (footsteps are approaching the mine and are within a lethal range of about 16 meters), the mine is triggered. A fragmentation charge is ejected to approximately 1–1.5 meters above the ground level and detonates, maximizing the kill area. The body of a POM-3 consists of several ‘toothed’ rings which are stacked in a slightly offset manner to produce high fragmentation effect. Self-destruct time can be set to 8-24 hours The anti-tank mine PTM-4M, developed for the “Zemledeliye “ system, is a high-explosive, shaped-charge, magnetically influenced, anti-vehicle mine with a programmable fuse. The mine arming mechanism can be set for 40 to 80-second delay. Self-destruct time can be programmed for up to 120 days. It is equipped with a magnetic sensor that responds to a magnetic field disturbance coming from tanks and other armored vehicles. When commanded to self-destruct, the mines of “Agriculture“ do not explode. a special chip simply deactivates mines and makes them harmless. Breaking news. Documentary.
