Alphi-I, developed by MKE, a state-run defense company in Turkye, is a system that spreads explosives over a minefield and explodes them all at once to create a passage, rather than removing the mines one by one.
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Turkiye for the first time exported the minefield passage opening system 'ALPAY-I', which spreads explosives over a minefield and explodes them all at once.
Turkye local media Tolga Özbek and Turkinform reported on the 10th (local time) that state-owned defense company MKE completed the delivery of Alphi-I to Lithuania this week.
This delivery is Alpha-I's first overseas export. However, the timing of the contract signing, export quantity, and amount were not disclosed.
Alpha-I is not a device that finds and removes landmines one by one. This is a system that spreads a long string of explosives across a minefield and then explodes or neutralizes the buried mines with the impact of the explosion to create a path for troops and vehicles to pass through.
The rocket carries a string of explosives about 200 meters away from the launch site. Afterwards, by detonating about 400kg of C-4 explosives, a passage 10m wide and 100m long can be opened.
