The Kremenchug Automobile Plant has built a special heavy mine clearing vehicle for the Ukraine State Service for Emergency Situations (SSES) department in Lugansk, it was announced on 21 April.
The vehicle is based on the KrAZ-5233ВЕ 4х4 off road chassis with load carrying capacity of up to 2 tonnes.

Powered by a Еuro-5 emission standard-compliant 335hp turbocharged diesel engine, the vehicle is fitted with C-IED equipment including a steel winch and HIAB X-CL 8-2 crane for handling IEDs from a distance of 15m, in addition to other mine-clearing tools. Its cab comes with bullet-proof glass and PZSА – 4 armour.
