The IMR-2 mine clearing machine is designed to create column routes in difficult-to-pass areas for the advancement of troops, as well as to create passages in minefields. The Soviet army began using the IMR-2 mine clearing machine in 1980, and it is also used by other countries. The IMR-2 has proven to be highly effective and has been upgraded several times. It was also used to eliminate the consequences of the Chernobyl accident, as it has good radiation protection.
