Hi all!

Found this on the back of a T-90SA. Any ideas for what it is for?

TIA

Best regards,

Hi there

Could not see a link on this site for the fixing but thought those modelling ths beast might like the link that allows you to look at certain bits of the kit.

I am sure this is part of the mine clearing system. I think it drops flares after the tank to mark a clear path.

I beleive this is a unditching device, The mine clearing options for this tank are the KMT-6 and the KMT-7 the first is a blade type and the second is a roller type. i am not positive but i beleive so. Mike
