The IMR-2 is range of Russian engineer armoured vehicle which is designed to clear obstacle on the battlefield. This combat engineer vehicle is designed for mobility operations, creating convoy tracks and accomplishing other engineer tasks. The IMR-2 Is the second version of obstacle clearing vehicle which replaced the IMR based on T-55 main battle tank chassis. Today, IMR-2 is the most efficient and promising combat engineer vehicle. It can perform all types of work under fire, on the battlefield contaminated by nuclear fallout, and in the atmosphere contaminated by aggressive gases, vapours or chemical agents and filled with smoke and dust. Vehicle’s reliability has been proven both in combat and in disaster relief operations. IMR-2 is equally efficient as a combat engineer vehicle and as an emergency rescue vehicle. IMR-2 features a formidable multifunction dozer blade and mine plough, both being complemented nicely by multipurpose manipulator that ousted legacy gripper-type manipulator tool. A multipurpose manipulator can even take and hold objects as small as a matchbox, e.g. radioactive fragments. It has capabilities of a manipulator, can operate as a grab bucket, a pull and push shovel, a scraper, and a ripper. IMR-2 is capable of creating tracks in moderately rugged terrain, low forest, unbroken snow-covered expanses and on slopes, rooting stumps out, felling trees, breaching abatis, rubble, minefields and non-explosive obstacles. The vehicle can cope with rubble and damaged buildings and structures, dig trenches and foundation pits, dig out sandedin materiel and shelters, fill pits, ditches and ravines, prepare ditches, escarpments, dams, and crosses over tank ditches and escarpments.
