"The delivery was carried out in accordance with the 2016 state defense order. The Korshun system can detect mines planted in snow, ground, various structures and beyond obstacles, in particular, concrete or brick walls, barbed-wire and metal-mesh fences and under asphalt or concrete roads," the spokesman said.

"The Korshun system can detect explosive devices at a distance of up to 30 meters," he added.

Unlike metal locators, the advanced mine detector can detect explosive devices 40-50 times faster, Muginov said.

The Korshun is desogned for the detection of mines and explosive devices with electronic fuses (activation system) concealed on the ground surface, slightly in the ground (snow), under the road pavement and within various facilities.

The Korshun system is able to detect remote-controlled explosive devices with semiconductor elements in the active or inactive state.
