The Bluszcz mobile airborne unmanned remote mining complex (in Ukrainian "Ivy") was presented as part of the EKSPLOBALIS 2025 conference in Poland. This is reported by the Polish publication Defence 24.
The system was developed by a consortium of public and private organizations Belma SA, STEKOP SA, as well as two military institutes - armored and engineering. The development was carried out within the framework of the national Tarcza Wschód program as an element of the automated response system for the protection of NATO's eastern flank.
The complex is based on the TAero multi-purpose vehicle, which uses components from the Toyota Land Cruiser HZJ70. It is equipped with a 130 hp diesel engine, an Allison automatic transmission, and an additional electric drive (50 kW), which provides up to 30 km of movement in "quiet" mode.
Bluszcz is capable of remotely laying up to 100 MN-123 mines using 20 cassettes. The mines penetrate more than 60 mm of armor, and mining is carried out in a strip with a width of 30 to 90 m with adjustable density. The complex operates in manual and autonomous modes, is equipped with optical and infrared cameras and the CSSP control system, which also allows for reconnaissance and fixation of minefield coordinates with subsequent data transmission.
The unmanned operation of the system reduces the risk to personnel, especially in battlefield conditions saturated with various types of UAVs. Thanks to its compact size and silent electric drive that does not emit heat, the machine has an increased chance of survival during combat operations.
