Russia: Uran-6 robot to be mounted on new KAMAZ transportation platform



The Uran-6 robotized system will be mounted on a new 8x8 KaMAZ chassis equipped with a special multi-lifting platform, the press service of the Russian Ground Troops said. "The platform design cuts significantly the time required to prepare the Uran-6 for operation. From now on, the Uran-6 will be mounted on a special platform. A special hydraulic drive will be used to remove it from the undercarriage and put it back in place. The whole operation takes no more than three minutes," it said.

Sweeping width is 1.6 meters, maximum speed is 5 km/h, minimal weight of one destructed explosive was 0.1 kg and maximum - 4 kg. The life cycle is expected to be 10 years.
