RATEL DEMINER

RATEL DEMINER is a Ukrainian remote-controlled demining complex built on the Ratel M logistics and evacuation UGV. It pairs a wheeled robotic platform with a rotary mine trawl, daylight camera, ground control station, repeater, and charging equipment so operators can neutralize or trigger anti-personnel mines from a standoff distance.
