  10. A friend is involved in a project training rats to sniff out mines for clearance. The rats are too light to trigger the mines, but bloody good at finding them, when there's a yummy reward in it for them.

    Being a vegan, I was pretty concerned about this at first. But my friend says the rats are well cared for - as the essential workers they are - their bills are covered for housing, food, healthcare etc, and they have a retirement home to live out their natural life.

  14. "This is a new campaign, starting right now, to help save Ukrainian lives during this terrible war by funding robots that can clear mines."

    Even a highly accurate clock is wrong occasionally. This is a classic example of a solution (robots!) in search of a problem.

    Instead of funding boondoggles that help corporations develop yet more proprietary tech, why not donate to some of the well-established mine-clearing methods?

  18. Ukraine faces one of the largest mine contamination issues since World War II, with ongoing clearance efforts likely to take 3-5 years to resolve 75-80% of the problem. The UN estimates Ukraine to be the most mine-contaminated country globally. Ukrainian forests still hold mines from WWII. The situation is compared to Europe's post-war clearance efforts. #Ukraine #MineClearance

  23. Bulgaria, Romania, and Turkey invite other countries to join the initiative to clear the Black Sea of mines. They plan to create a joint fleet to neutralize mines in parts of the Black Sea near Turkey, Romania, and Bulgaria. This initiative is open to NATO member countries outside the Black Sea region. The agreement between the three countries is set to be signed on January 11 in Istanbul. #BlackSea #MineClearance

  26. The Krupp Raumer S was a German prototype mine clearance vehicle built in 1944. Weighing 130 tonnes, it was articulated, with each section powered by a Maybach HL 90 engine. Each of the four steel wheels were 2.7m in diameter. The front and rear axles were different diameters, so that the vehicle would clear a wider path. destinationsjourney.com/histor #KruppRaumerS #RaumerS #MineClearance #MineClearanceVehicle #German #Germany #WorldWar2 #WorldWarTwo #SecondWorldWar #Army #Military #MilitaryHistory
