By the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the mine-clearing vehicles in service with the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are very quickly detected and then destroyed. Soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from engineering and sapper units complained about this to Monde.

According to Ukrainian sappers, now they are forced to work on the front line without the involvement of special equipment. It would seem that the machines for mine clearance should help the sappers, but in reality the situation turns out to be the opposite – because of them, Russian artillery opens fire on the sapper units.

We can no longer use even advanced machines for mine clearance, for example, such as the American M58

- the head of the sapper service of the 128th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine named Maxim told the publication.

The Ukrainian serviceman noted that the M58 mine clearance vehicles handed over to the APU by the Pentagon turned out to be too noticeable. They make a lot of noise, so they are immediately noticed, after which they are struck. But manual work slows down the activity of sappers. So, one of the servicemen of the sapper unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine had to spend at least four days to cover a distance of 150 meters.

Western experts believe that this circumstance is also one of the factors slowing down the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After all, large minefields are equipped in the Zaporozhye direction, and it is very problematic for Ukrainian servicemen to clear them, and even without equipment.
