The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has disclosed information on the number and types of engineering vehicles used by the sapper units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for remote mine clearance. The park has a total of 316 units.
Almost all the equipment is imported. But in the fleet of sapper units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine there are also complexes produced at Ukrainian enterprises: GERMINA, Garth 5100, Zmiy and others.
The Croatian company DOK-ING handed over 69 mine-clearing machines last fall and began manufacturing spare parts in Ukraine.
