MiniArt 37036 KMT-5M Mine-Roller

KMT-5M is a Soviet, and currently Russian, mechanical demining device (anti-mine trawl) mounted on tanks. The weight of the device is 7.5 tons. The area that can be demined at one time is a rectangle with sides 0.8 x 2 meters. A tank that uses this trawl must be able to move at a speed of up to 12 km / h in order to be effective. It is worth adding that the installation time of this device on the tank does not exceed 45 minutes, and disassembly time - 13-15 minutes. The KMT-5M minesweep was developed as another device of its kind in the long series of KMT family anti-mine mines. It entered service for the first time in the 1960s and remains in service with the armed forces of the Russian Federation to this day. During the Cold War, it was mainly mounted on the T-54, T-55 and T-64 cars. Currently, it is mounted to a large extent on T-72, T-80 or even T-90 tanks. It is worth adding that its foreign copy is the Romanian D-5M minesweeper.
