Ukrainian UGV lays anti-tank mines @via Twitter

Ukraine’s armed forces are reportedly using small unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) to scatter anti-tank mines.

A video has emerged on social media showing UGVs scattering Soviet-era TM-62M metal-cased mines that will not be accidentally triggered by people stepping on them.

The UGV is used in tandem with a drone in the air to remotely and safely deploy anti-tank mines on the routes of possible enemy breakthroughs, as well as to protect flanks. The using of this improvised remote system allows us to preserve human lives and install mines near enemy positions without being noticed.
