Ukraine received a DOK-ING MV-10 mine clearing system from the European Union, part of a 25-million-euro ($27 million) support package announced in February. The EU’s demining support includes a training course for Ukrainian units that will operate the MV-10. The vehicle was handed over to Ukraine’s State Transport Special Service, a military unit designed to establish a reliable transport service for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The DOK-ING MV-10 is a remote-controlled vehicle that can clear an area of up to 4,000 square meters (0.0015 square miles) per hour, including steep slopes. Its unique “double tool,” a front-positioned flail tool combined with a rear tiller, neutralizes anti-personnel and anti-tank mines while clearing other land mines and vegetation. Its other key features include an advanced video system for situational awareness, deep-profile tracks for off/on road mobility, a Hardox 450 full-body armor, and low-light cameras and infrared lights for day and night operations.
