An episode of work and evacuation of a T-64 tank, a Danish mine-clearing vehicle HYDREMA 910 MCV, by the Ukrainian army. The minesweeper was developed by the Croatian company DOK-ING and the Danish Hydrema and has been produced since 1996. The HYDREMA 910 MCV mine-clearing vehicle was used by the United States to clear air bases in Afghanistan, it was well received and 41 units were purchased. The Russian Emergencies Ministry also purchased one vehicle and used it in Chechnya in 2001. It is also used by India, Singapore and other countries. The vehicle can be controlled manually using a joystick or automatically on autopilot. The 18-ton vehicle is designed to defuse anti-tank and anti-personnel mines containing up to 10 kg of explosives. The vehicle's mine-clearing system is equipped with a block with 72 chains and an armored deflector screen to protect against explosions and shrapnel.
