(MILITARNYI) Ukraine has unveiled its third domestically-produced mine clearance vehicle, based on the T-156 tractor chassis. Developed by Kyiv's efarm pro and Sumy's agricultural machinery manufacturers, the vehicle was presented on February 21, 2024. Deputy Minister of Economy Ihor Bezkaravainyi stated that the Ukrainian model is on par with Western counterparts, capable of clearing 5,000 square meters of land per hour.
The vehicle's testing demonstrated efficient tillage with a 2-centimeter gap between cleaning strips. The developers are now preparing for certification and mass production, streamlining the process by collaborating with manufacturers. This initiative is part of an acceleration program supporting Ukrainian entrepreneurs with innovative demining solutions.
