It is undeniable that the movement of infantry and cavalry troops on the battlefield, often encounters resistance and obstacles, one of which is invisible but can cause great losses is the presence of land mines. So it's not surprising that the ability of a combat engineer or combat engineer unit is always the focus when infantry and cavalry units enter an area.
In the context of the war in Ukraine, Russian combat engineers have utilized mine detection and destroying robots. As in this video, it is shown the use of Uran 6 which is included in the Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) category in the Luhansk region, Ukraine.
Carrying a chain wheel design, the Uran 6 or MRTK-R as it is called, is the Russian version of the Croatian MV-4 mine-clearing UGV. In Russian hands, Uran 6 is produced by JSC 766 UPTK for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
This mine-destroying robot can be used in reconnaissance and area clearing operations to detect and remove explosives and anti-personnel/anti-tank mines. The existence of this robot can minimize the risk caused by unexploded ordnance and other dangerous objects.
From the specifications, the Uran 6 which was introduced at the 2016 Army event, is designed as a multifunctional, robotic mine clearance system, which is expected to neutralize antipersonnel mines (AP) and explosions of 60 kg of TNT and can clear antipersonnel mines and hazardous substances weighing from 1kg to 4kg TNT.
As a mine-destroying robot, the Uran-6 is equipped with a number of operating tools including five different mine-sweeping devices to detect and detonate landmines. The equipment includes a bulldozer blade 1.8 meters wide, a self-propelled Boikova minesweeper, a robotic arm, a solid mill, a tiller, a trailer, a crane, a barrel-type gripper with a cargo lifting capacity of 1 tonne, a solid roller and a Katkov mine trawler.
Like a tiller mounted on the front and rotated using a milled chisel to destroy mines. Rear-mounted shovels and forklifts are used to lift and move a variety of objects.

The Uran 6 is controlled by one operator using a remote control system from a safe distance of 1 km. Four video cameras, mounted on top of the robot, provide the operator with a 360-degree field of view of the front and rear operating areas. There is also the capability of real-time imagery that is transmitted to its remote control system.
Weighing about 6 tons, this robot has a length of 4.45 meters, a width of 2 meters, a height of 1.49 meters and a clearing track width of 1.72 meters. The Uran 6 is powered by a 240hp diesel engine that produces a mine-clearing speed of 2 km per hour and a maximum speed of 5 km per hour.
The Uran-6 can operate continuously for up to five hours. This state-of-the-art robot can overcome obstacles as high as 1.2 meters and cross trenches 1.5 meters wide. The maximum climbing ability of this mine-busting robot is 20 degrees.
