Modified Hitachi ZX270LC Hydraulic Excavator

A mine clearance vehicle based on a crawler excavator was developed in Ukraine.

Developers from Kryvyi Rih designed and manufactured this mine clearance vehicle within four months. The excavator is also equipped with surveillance cameras, which facilitate the work of the operator, who can see the surrounding environment.

The mine clearance vehicle develops a speed of up to two kilometers per hour.

This job sounds even worse than being a quality control tester at a jack-in-the-box factory

I'd do it. It would be fun, like popping bubble wrap. Except it's 10km long and land mines.

It takes all kinds of people to make the world work. Glad you're here!
