A machine for laying landmines is designed to create a defensive barrier that ought to impede the progress of the enemy and protect valuable assets.
Russia's Zemledeliye (lit. Agriculture) landmine machine is wreaking havoc in the ranks of advancing Ukrainian troops, according to media reports in the US.

"Controlled by Russia's bomb squad, rather than artillery, the Zemledelie system is clearly a threat to Ukraine's counteroffensive. For example, it may have played a role in the infamous armored attack by the 47th Ukrainian Mechanized Brigade that took place in early June near Malaya Tokmachka. The battle resulted in the Ukrainians abandoning several Leopard 2 tanks and 16 Bradley combat vehicles," the American correspondent wrote.

According to the media, minefields pose a serious problem for any attacking force. A 70-ton Leopard 2, the front end of which can withstand a hit from sophisticated anti-tank shells, can be immobilized by ordinary mines laid by the Zemledelie system.
Even at low density, explosive devices of this type interfere with the mobility of the Ukrainian forces and impede their action.
