These are metal detectors, a mechanical demining vehicle, two pickup trucks, and other necessary engineering equipment to be used during demining. The total amount of assistance amounted to about UAH 13 million. In particular, the equipment was purchased with funds raised during the final of the national selection of the Eurovision Song Contest with the participation of Public Television, Ukrainian blogger Mykhailo Hrabar "OLDboi" and comedian and blogger Mark Kutsevalov.

Two pickup trucks, individual sapper kits, protective suits, blasting machines, 2,000 meters of blasting cable, and many other pieces of demining equipment were also delivered to the State Transport Special Service.

Serhiy Prytula noted that among the entire list of transferred equipment, a prominent place is occupied by a domestic mechanical demining vehicle based on the KhTZ T-150 crawler tractor with a mine trawl.

The Kharkiv Regional Military Administration emphasized that the main advantage of the Ukrainian-made demining vehicle over foreign counterparts is its simplicity of design, which makes it possible to carry out prompt repairs in case of explosive detonation.

The price of one vehicle is UAH 5.6 million.

Currently, the Kharkiv region is one of the most mined regions of Ukraine as a result of Russia's full-scale invasion.
