In the Kharkiv region, sappers of the 47th Separate Engineer Brigade used Swedish ScanJack 3500 demining machines to neutralize 629 explosive objects and clear 93 hectares of agricultural land over the past month.

This was reported on the official page of the 47th Separate Engineer Brigade.

“In the Kharkiv region, within the area of responsibility of the 47th Separate Engineer Brigade, modern ScanJack 3500 machines are in operation. These are not just pieces of equipment — they are our daily allies in the fight for life, land, and the future”, — the brigade stated.

Results of their work over the past month:

  • 629 explosive objects neutralized — from anti-personnel mines to improvised explosive devices; 
  • 93 hectares of agricultural land cleared, allowing farmers to sow winter wheat; 
  • every day, specialists find 15 to 35 explosive objects and process 2 to 6 hectares of territory. 

“These explosive objects differ in type, shape, and level of threat. But they all have one goal — to destroy. And we have our own — to protect”, — the sappers emphasized.

The brigade highlighted that their mission is to protect the lives of soldiers, farmers, and children.

“Every cleared hectare is another step toward victory, another chance for harvest, another story without tragedy”, — the 47th Brigade concluded.
