Russian sappers have begun using a new aerial mine clearance method in the combat zone. First, the area is checked with a reconnaissance drone, and then explosives are dropped from another drone onto the detected mines.
This method of aerial mine clearance has become relevant due to the installation of laser and seismic sensors on many modern mines. A sapper will not be able to approach such explosive devices. In addition, the operation of enemy UAVs interferes with mine clearance using standard methods.
In my opinion, the method is workable, but much depends on the implementation. Detecting and destroying such a number of mines may require a lot of sapper drones. Also, developments in this direction need to be carried out now and tested immediately in combat conditions. Reconnaissance operators are best suited for the role of sappers. After all, they are more focused on finding various types of objects.
Earlier, The National Interest called the Russian T-72 tank the greatest in the world. Journalists stated Russia's ability to mass-produce modern modifications of the combat vehicle.
