Nibulon received its first mine-clearing vehicle from the Swiss company Global Clearance Solutions.

The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the German State Development Bank (KFW DEG) are funding the order for the mine clearing vehicles.

A team of specialists from the Swiss company Global Clearance Solutions put the GCS-200 vehicle into operation directly in Ukraine.

The vehicle is capable of demining an area of up to 12,000 m² per day with constant penetration to a depth of 25 cm.

It is effective for defusing anti-personnel and anti-tank mines using a tiller.

In addition, the GCS-200 is equipped with a manipulator for lifting heavy objects weighing between 650 and 2000 kg. It is primarily used to lift unexploded ordnance and other explosive devices.

The vehicle is controlled remotely with a separate remote control with a maximum signal range of up to 1 kilometer.

To ensure survivability, the vehicle is equipped with ballistic protection made of Hardox steel with a thickness of 8 mm for the chassis, 20 mm for the lower front part, 10 mm for the radiator housing, and a V-shaped body.

Militarnyi previously reported that the Come Back Alive Foundation has provided 20 engineering and demining teams of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with pickup trucks and mine clearance equipment.

The transfer of vehicles and equipment took place within the “We Live Here” project, implemented jointly with Kyivstar.
