Ukraine’s TerMIT Ground Drone Adapts to TM-62 Mines With New Mine-Laying Module

Ukrainian firm Tencore has developed a mine-laying ground drone module for its TerMIT platform, according to Militarnyi on March 3.

The module is intended to support engineer and sapper units. It shifts some of the risk away from personnel who previously had to deliver mines by hand.

Previously, sappers often had to move and place mines by hand under threat, but the unmanned ground robot can now take on part of that danger by transporting and installing munitions in contested areas.

Equipped with two mining modules, TerMIT can carry and lay up to 20 TM-62 anti-tank mines in a single run.

That load is enough to create a dense local mine barrier stretching roughly 20 to 80 meters, depending on spacing and layout—for example, placing one mine every 1 to 4 meters across several rows.

This allows units to quickly block narrow routes such as roads, forest tracks, bridges, or river crossings, set up a mine “ambush” on likely armored vehicle approaches, and reinforce a vulnerable flank on a critical axis.

Mining is only one element of TerMIT’s modular design, which lets the robot be reconfigured for different missions.

Earlier, it was reported that drones from Ukraine’s National Guard struck and destroyed a Russian ISDM “Zemledelie” remote mining vehicle after

it was detected operating on a frontline sector. The report says the vehicle was moving along a road when drone-dropped munitions caused explosions that forced it to stop, after which additional strikes hit the launcher pack.

Russia uses “Zemledelie” to rapidly seed areas with scatterable mines and can log mined zones digitally for command use.
