Two more DOK-ING MV-4 and MV-10 mine clearance and EOD robotic systems were handed over to Ukrainian rescuers. Serhii Kruk, Head of the State Emergency Service, announced this. The Howard Buffett Foundation donated the special mine clearance equipment.

The first two MV-4 and MV-10 recently aided sappers from Luhansk operating in the Kherson region. Mine clearance and EOD robotic systems have already proven to be effective.

"The new equipment will allow strengthening the ability of Ukrainian sappers to quickly clean up the territory of the Mykolaiv region. After all, the amount of work that the enemy has supplied us with for many years requires not only experience but also the use of modern technical solutions," Serhii Kruk stressed. Rescuers note that mine clearance and EOD robotic systems provided by The Howard G.

Buffett Foundation (HGBF) have already proven their effectiveness in a short period of time. Howard Buffett assured that his foundation is ready to support government projects on humanitarian demining to significantly speed up this process. These systems greatly accelerate the demining processes and protect the lives of Ukrainian sappers.

DOK-ING MV-4 is a light mine clearance and EOD robotic system. Its hull can withstand the detonation of landmines and projectiles.

The effectiveness of the MV-4 has been tested in real combat conditions. The system has replacement tools that allow performing a range of tasks to clean the territory. The MV-4 is used for mechanical soil preparation and demining, mechanical inspection and clearing of the territory, searching for objects that may be buried, etc.

DOK-ING MV-10 is a robotic demining system. The manufacturer indicates that this is the most powerful system in its category globally.

The front of the system is equipped with a chain tool that triggers anti-personnel and anti-tank mines. The system also has a cultivator that performs secondary tillage and maintains a constant loosening depth. It can also use additional equipment, including rollers, blades, and cleaning units.

A single operator controls MV-10 via remote control.

The maximum soil cleaning depth is 60 cm.
