For the immediate need of getting the new Leopard 2 and Challengers to the front, these armoured mine clearing vehicles will be useful.
Perhaps once the western MBTs arrive in sufficient numbers the captured T-62s and T-55 (including donated Slovenian M-55s) can be equipped with the KMT-5 mine clearing set-up.

There is an ignore button for very good reason. In certain cases, it's the best possible answer.

If was Putin, knowing that the UAF won't dare take one step into Russia, I would move all my forces to Crimea, and focus on defending the bridge and sea routes to ensure its resupply. Turn Crimea into the fortress it once was. In the meantime tell every LPR and DPR supporting separatist to evacuate to Russia or Crimea pronto. If Putin can hold Crimea and then declare an unilateral armistice he can spin a victory story for the masses. Will it work? IDK, but he can't keep this up for another year.MSN

1. As a Mod/Admin I will not ignore for good reason.
2. How about everyone just stick to the topic?

Agreed. Though I think the likely innovative, high tech cleanup of this war may benefit past conflict zones where mines have sat for decades. The Demining - Wikipedia technology is advancing, but it needs wealthy, first world backers. An EU-applicant and NATO favourite Ukraine will fit the bill.
New technology for land mine detection
In Colombia, large areas are teeming with mines that are almost impossible to detect with traditional methods. Researchers are now developing a new mine clearance technology, based on ground penetrating radar. In the long run, they are aiming at creating a handheld device that will detect...www.sciencedaily.com

In addition to a decades-long neutered Russia another benefit of this war by the 2030s may be mine clearing in Latin America, SEA and sub-Saharan Africa.
There was an article around xmas time about a Ukrainian schoolboy who had developed a small working mine detector. Unfortunately I did not bookmark it

2 Dutch F35s "intercepted" 3 Russian aircraft (2 Flankers and an Il-20M) while flying from Poland. No shots were fired according to the Dutch news agency NOS.
Where the Russians in Polish airspace, or just approaching it?
If they intercepted it, I would assume they were in Polish airspace.
Interesting, this is the only news source I can find. Claims they were in Polish airspace. That would be an act of aggression.

Just appoching it, Chris. They took off from Kaliningrad flying over the Baltic Sea near the Polish airspace over the territorial sea. So no flying from Poland. The Dutch F35s are stationed in Poland at one of our airbase. Russiand have been doing that regulary just provoking our fighters to take off just in case.
Yeah that is standard operating procedure for the Russians. Going all the way back to the Soviet days.
