TL;DR Summary

A Ukrainian farmer has designed a remote-controlled tractor to clear mines from his fields, using protective panels stripped from Russian tanks. Oleksandr Kryvtsov, a general manager at his agricultural company, decided to take matters into his own hands after mines remained in many fields following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The tractor can withstand blasts and is operated remotely from a digger's bucket suspended in the air nearby. The Ukrainian government has said about 30% of Ukrainian territory has been mined by Russians, and de-mining agricultural land is a priority.
