In Ukraine with the minesweepers: 'At times, it took me four days to clear 150 metres, there was no other option'.

Ukraine has breached Russia’s first line of defense near Zaporizhzhia

This accomplishment comes after weeks of meticulous mine clearance operations. Tarnavsky expressed confidence that their progress would accelerate as they advance towards the ***less fortified second defensive line***

Landmines can be found by IR. We should be able to make a drone that will place a charge on the landmine, then leave before the charge blows up.

As South Korea is being hit with record rainfall each year, as the ground shifts and land slides, it might be good during the dry times for South Korea's government on both the local & national level to invest in locating the remaining 3021 buried landmines. It shouldn't be up to hikers to find them the hard way like they have been. 😑🥾💣💥

As South Korea is being hit with record rainfall each year, as the ground shifts and land slides, it might be good during the dry times for South Korea's governments on both the local & national level to invest in locating the rest of the missing 3,000+ undetonated landmines...so innocent hikers don't have to keep finding them the hard way. 😑💣💥

Emergency workers stress that dozens of years of de-mining work lie ahead. Ukraine is the most mined country in the world, ahead of Afghanistan and Syria."
