GSL-131 (samohybný výbušný odmínovač)

GSL-131 - self-propelled explosive deminer on the chassis of an armored bulldozer Type 82. The bulldozer is equipped with a pair of demining systems Type 74 (missile ejected rods placed on the trailer).


A two-stage 153 mm caliber tandem rocket engine is used to eject the towed charge, with the first stage ejecting the charge within a second and then the second stage accelerating the charge to the required speed. The drawbar is placed in a total of 14 containers, which open before use. Each of the 7 magazines contains one tow charge, at the same time two parallel charges are fired, which with their explosion create a passage in the minefield.


The rockets are placed on short launch rails with two supports on the rear of the vehicle. Together with the towing charges, they are protected by an armored superstructure from small arms fire and shrapnel shells. The maximum range of detonation of charges is 400 m. Detonation is performed by the operator from the cover, after detonation of charges, a passage 3-6 m wide with a length of 80-100 m is created in the minefield. Detonation reliably destroys anti-personnel mines.
