Russian servicemen of the 340th engineer-sapper battalion demonstrated the use of the portable mine clearance system ZRP-2 "Tropa". The ZRP-2 "Tropa" mine clearance charge was developed in the USSR in 1981 and is designed to make passages-paths in anti-personnel minefields. The ZRP-2 charge kit consists of a detonation cable filled with A-IX-I 9 explosives (hexogen), a solid-fuel rocket engine, a connecting rope, a detonator, a brake cord, a launcher, an anchor, a launcher and a backpack for carrying. In simple terms, when the rocket engine is launched, a detonation cable is stretched across the minefield, and when the cable is detonated, anti-personnel mines are deactivated or destroyed. This allows you to create a passage up to 60 centimeters wide and up to 54 meters long in a minefield. Full specifications of the ZRP-2 mine clearance system in the description of the video. The weight of the ZRP-2 kit is up to 50 kg. The time for preparation for launch is up to 5 minutes, which can be done by one serviceman.
