@Ulara in appropriate numbers, this could make a huge difference for #Ukraine

Hey waitaminit, de-mining equipment is very much appreciated, but are these the same Swiss who are supposed to be neutral, and blocked sending Leopard 1's to Ukraine?

You can be neutral and help with de-mining efforts. It's a service to humanity, not picking a side.

Do they send these remote control machines out to countries where the western countries dropped thousands of mines? Or do they just send them trained minesweeper rats and hope for the best.

Ukraine definitely needs this, but it's surprising they didn't send these out in all those countries that America and other Western countries mined up years ago and left to delimb children.

when's the last time America used ap mines? most if not all mines in NATO's arsenal are smart mines that kill themselves after a set amount of time

Vietnam and the Gulf war.
