Partners by now should have sent already all their mine breaching kit for the front, such as all miclics, pythons, vipers and any other such systems.
Most armies have Sappers and therefore tons of mine clearance equipment just sitting there doing nothing. Ukraine is not asking for a $5 million dollar tank here. With this sort of kit that is so obvious it needs it should not be asking, especially when it is linked with humanitarian aid to allow civilians to return home.
The irony is that those mines will mostly hurt the residents of the Donbas where the majority of Russian speaking Ukrainians live…
Can mines be identified by drones and release a grenade onto them? just like they do with orc terrorists? right now Ukraine needs demining equipment as much as tanks and planes.
