In fact, the supplies will be carried out by the Finnish defense company Forcit Defense. According to its management, the SENTRY mine complex is the first of its kind, combining network capabilities and the ability to control and program minefields down to the level of individual mines.
The main element of the system is a multi-sensor anti-tank mine weighing about 10.5 kg, equipped with electronics that provides communication between all the mines of the barrier, forming a "smart" minefield.

This allows you to destroy both individual enemy vehicles and entire columns, while at the same time allowing your own troops to pass. Allegedly, one operator can handle the installation of mines and their programming.
SENTRY has the ability to function autonomously even in cases where the enemy uses electronic warfare. Activation, neutralization or deactivation can be controlled remotely at a distance of up to several km. The min settings can be changed remotely in real time.
