Ukrainian troops deploy a Soviet-era UR-77 remote demining system somewhere along the eastern front. The UR-77 Meteorite is based on a tracked vehicle equipped with a launcher and two line-charges. Similar in function to the U.S. MCLC, the line charge is deployed by a rocket, and when detonated the shockwave disabled or detonates mines or shells along a path up to six meters in width.
