BELARTY

Demining Machinery

Croatia

Photographs of the Belarty Universal Demining Machine UOS-155 BELARTY, which were taken on December 7, 1996 in CERIC village - Eastern Slavonia (UNTAES area), Croatia. The machine was deployed with SLOVENGBAT of UNTAES (Slovakian engineer battalion) together with Croatian demining company MUNGO'S to demine the village inside the former separation zone between Serbs and Croats. You can see the high bush where for deminers is very difficult to go.

This is a large and heavy machine mounted on a tank chassis. The boom enables the vehicle to have a large reach - up to 12 metres, which makes it possible to handle embankments, cuttings, and other areas of ground which cannot be reached with conventional flail machines.
