Ukraine Landmine Crisis Reaches Vietnam-Era Scale: How Drones and AI Are Accelerating Demining

Here is what the page “Ukraine Landmine Crisis Reaches Vietnam-Era Scale: How Drones and AI Are Accelerating Demi” contains. Ukraine is now littered with landmines on a scale not seen since the Vietnam War, with vast swaths of formerly occupied territory in the east rendered unusable. Civilians like 58-year-old Olena Kabanova are manually clearing fields near the front lines, digging out mines one by one with shovels and detectors. The problem is immense: Russia has deployed millions of mines, including sophisticated victim-activated devices, across agricultural land, roads, and urban areas, creating a long-term threat to civilians and the country's economy.

Traditional manual demining could take decades and cost billions. In response, demining groups are turning to new technologies—drones equipped with sensors to map contaminated areas and AI-powered algorithms to identify mines faster and more safely. This listing links straight to the original page, where the content is available in full.
