Review of the BMR-3MA "Vepr" demining machine of Russia. The Russian army began to actively use the BMR-3MA Vepr armored demining vehicle, created on the basis of the T-90 tank. The BMR-3MA demining vehicle was created in 2007 and has an increased level of crew protection. The main difference between the BMR-3MA chassis and the base vehicles is enhanced mine protection. The bottom and sides of the hull of the vehicle are made multi-layered, with the use of additional armor plates on special struts. The space between the armor plates is filled with a filler with anti-cumulative properties. The car body is additionally closed with dynamic protection units, the car is equipped with a radio interference generator and night vision devices. BMR-3MA withstands a mine explosion under the bottom up to 7.5 kg. On board there is a supply of food and water for 5 days, there are also facilities for heating food and boiling water. The car has a compact toilet, a filter-ventilation unit and an air conditioner, in fact, you can live in it for up to 3 days. The armament of the vehicle is a 12.7 mm machine gun. To perform demining work, the machine can be equipped with mine sweeps TMT-S, KMT-7 and KMT-8. BMR-3MA provides sweeping of homing anti-aircraft mines with acoustic and infrared fuses, destruction of wired lines of remote cable control of mine fuses and other work. On the basis of the machine, a robotic demining machine "Prokhod-1" was created, a link to a video about it in the comments to the video. The crew of the car is 2 people and three sappers. Combat weight with trawl 51 tons.
