    Yes it exists, and yes it will help. 2 problems with it.

    1. Mines aren’t the only thing there, Russians shooting at the operator are there too.
    2. A machine like that needs a lot of maintenance against a large number of mines.

      That makes sense. I guess I’m not sure if they are viable, even to some extent in this conflict, vs walking exposed in a mine field with very limited chance for quick cover. It’s all around a super shitty situation that shouldn’t be.
