Ukraine
The website discusses the challenges faced by deminers in Ukraine due to advanced landmine technology, including the use of 3D printers and remote deployment. It highlights the significant land contamination and the need for innovative solutions to address these issues.
The claims regarding landmine technology and contamination in Ukraine are largely supported by evidence. Advanced technologies like drones and AI are being used in demining efforts, and 3D printing is employed for landmine production. Remote deployment of mines is confirmed, and significant land contamination is well-documented. However, the claim about sensor-equipped landmines lacks direct evidence. Overall, the claims are mostly accurate, reflecting the complex technological and environmental challenges in Ukraine.
Individual Claims

Mostly True
Technology
In the Ukraine conflict, landmine technology is setting a precedent for a new era of development.
The evidence suggests that Ukraine is using advanced technology in demining efforts, such as drones and AI, which indicates a significant development in landmine technology. However, there is no direct evidence that this is setting a precedent for a new era of development. The claim is partially supported by the use of technology in demining but lacks specific evidence of setting a precedent.

Technology
High-tech landmines in Ukraine are equipped with sensors that can detect a deminer approaching.
The evidence does not directly confirm the presence of sensors in landmines that detect deminers. While advanced demining technologies are discussed, specific evidence about sensor-equipped landmines is lacking. The claim is plausible but not strongly supported by the available evidence.
