Citing information published by the "ZOKA @200_zoka" Twitter account, the Russian army has conducted the launching of mines with the ISDM Zemledeliye mine laying system near the city of Zaporizhia, on the Dnieper River in southeastern Ukraine.
The ISDM Zemledeliye is a mine laying system launcher based on a Kamaz 6560 8x8 military truck chassis with a crew cabin at the front and two racks of 25 122mm tube launchers able to launch anti-tank or anti-personnel mines.
The ISDM Zemledeliye is capable to launch mines to cover an area of several football fields within minutes. The system has a firing range from 5 to 15 km using 122mm caliber missiles with the warhead equipped with anti-tank or anti-personnel mines.
The whole ISDM Zemledeliye system comprises a launch vehicle with 50 122 mm rockets that are loaded with scatterable anti-personnel or anti-tank mines, and a transloader vehicle fitted with a reloading crane on its rear. Both the launcher and transloader vehicles are integrated into the KamAZ-6560 8×8 truck and feature an armored cabin.
The launcher truck of the ISDM Zemledeliye system is equipped with satellite navigation, a computer and a weather station, which allows operators to make adjustments and take into account the effect of weather on missile flight. For its self-protection, the truck is also equipped with three smoke grenade launchers on each side of a control cabin located at the rear of the crew cab.
