Note:

Engineering system of remote minelaying (ISDM) Zemledeliye is externally similar to the Grad multiple rocket launcher. It uses 122 mm ammunition.

The composition of the complex consists of a combat vehicle on an eight-wheel armored KamAZ chassis, a transport and charging vehicle, and transport and launch containers with engineering ammunition.

It has two units for 25 missiles each (50 in total), and equipped with a satellite navigation system, a computer and a weather station.

ISDM Zemledeliye is equipped with mmunitions that have programmable self-destruct devices or deactivators.

One unit is capable of installing up to 600 POM-3 "Medallion" anti-personnel mines.

The Gvozdika self-propelled artillery is a Soviet 122-mm self-propelled howitzer based on the MT-LBu multi-purpose chassis, which is designed for the destruction of manpower, artillery batteries, howitzers, as well as for providing passages in minefields and field barriers.

The hull of the self-propelled artillery is made of steel sheets. The bulletproof armor of "Gvozdika" can withstand a 7.62-mm screw ball B-32  from a distance of 300 m.

The firing range varies from 4,070m to 15,200m.
