How drones help SSNS sappers in demining
The use of drones in the work of pyrotechnic units of the SNS is gaining momentum. Today, our sappers are actively using various types of UAVs with cameras and magnetometers for aerial reconnaissance, as well as underwater and surface drones.
In particular, “birds” are involved to perform humanitarian demining tasks, namely:
- conducting a survey of potentially contaminated areas, including water bodies;
- drawing up maps and marking of areas contaminated with GNP;
- ensuring the safety of the work of pyrotechnic units during the destruction of VNPs.
Since the beginning of this year, our sappers have involved UAVs in demining operations more than 800 times, mostly in the de-occupied territories of Kharkiv, Mykolaiv and Kherson region. This figure is not a dry statistic, but real life and health of people are preserved!
Remember: about a third of Ukraine's territory is potentially dangerous! Follow the basic rules of personal safety and do not touch any suspicious and unfamiliar objects!
