Friends, welcome! Today we would like to share good news with you. Our talented colleagues and old friends, the Jakusz company, transferred to the Ukrainian army its unique unit, an explosion-proof container with the symbolic name Wiktoria. The production was financed by both the Polish side and the Ukrainian enterprise KRZ – Kiev Radiozavod. The transfer process took place as part of the annual defense industry exhibition MSPO in the Polish city of Kielce at one of the open stands of the exhibition center. The event took place from 5 to 8 September 2023.
Current situation
Unfortunately, the russian invaders do not disdain dirty methods of warfare on Ukrainian land and mine literally every meter of the territory from which they retreat. The demining process required to ensure the high offensive pace of the Ukrainian Defense Forces is long, hard and dangerous. And besides the skill of sappers, who risk their lives every day, specialized equipment is also required. And Wiktoria belongs to this class.
What is Wiktoria?
The unit is an explosion-proof container designed to transport explosive objects: mines, shells, ammunition, and others. The model has excellent operational characteristics:
● Maximum weight of the transported cargo is 150 kg
● Maximum explosive load 10 kg (in TNT equivalent)
The container is mounted on a trailer manufactured by Zasław with all-terrain wheels and can be used both on urban roads and off-road.
Wiktoria today, Victory tomorrow
Such equipment will help organize the safe transportation of unexploded shells and mines of various power to the place of their controlled detonation. And this means that hundreds and thousands of lives of Ukrainian soldiers, at least in this aspect, will be protected. ASA admires the titanic efforts of the defenders of Ukraine and those who help them in the defense of their country.
