Russian drones explode Ukrainian roadside shells
(MENAFN) Weaponized drones, now common on the front lines of the Ukraine conflict, are being used by Russian forces not only to attack but also to neutralize explosives. A new video released by the Russian Defense Ministry shows airborne engineering units using drones to safely detonate roadside bombs in Ukraine’s Zaporozhye Region.
These quadcopter drones, typically equipped to drop small explosives like mortar rounds, are being employed to trigger mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) from a distance, reducing risks to soldiers. The footage highlights several instances of this tactic during active combat operations.
In a related development, Russian defense firm Rostec recently unveiled a new ground-based robot designed to neutralize explosives more precisely. This battery-powered device uses a small laser to liquefy explosive substances without causing detonation and can be operated remotely from several kilometers away. Traditional bomb disposal robots remain larger and rely on various tools for safely disabling explosives in controlled environments.
