The Ministry of Defence has codified a domestically produced individual demining kit

The Ministry of Defence has codified and adopted the domestically produced KR-04 individual demining kit for use within the Defence Forces of Ukraine. This was reported by the MoD’s Main Directorate for Support of the Life Cycle of Weapons and Military Equipment.

The individual demining kit is equipped with modules and tools designed to perform a range of tasks, including the detection, marking, and neutralization of explosive ordnance in diverse environments, such as open terrain, buildings, and vehicles.

The individual demining kit features a functional assortment while remaining compact and lightweight. The kit includes a sapper crimping tool, probe, grappling hooks, paracord, sapper hoe, universal key for deactivating fuzes, markers for designating safe passages, locking safety pins, insulating tape, and more. The kit’s components are stored in a specially designed bag with dedicated fastenings, allowing for ergonomic attachment to the service member’s protective gear.
