ISDM Zemledeliye
Russia's ISDM Zemledeliye uses a truck-mounted rocket launcher to scatter mines remotely. Its role in Ukraine includes replacing obstacles after lanes have been cleared.
A Russian truck-mounted engineering system that delivers scatterable mines by rocket, allowing minefields to be placed without driving the launcher across the ground being mined.
Overview
The ISDM Zemledeliye is a remote minelaying system developed by NPO Splav for Russia's Engineer Troops. It carries 50 rockets in two containers on a KamAZ-6560 8×8 truck and operates with a separate loading vehicle. Its ammunition delivers antipersonnel or anti-vehicle mines at a range of 5–15 km.
Combat use began in March 2022. During Ukraine's 2023 counteroffensive, Russian forces used the system to replace mines in cleared lanes, complicating the maintenance of passages through defensive obstacles. Oryx listed 13 visually confirmed destroyed launchers by October 19, 2026.
