The EU has handed over a second mine-clearing vehicle to Armenia.

ArmInfo. The European Union (EU) has handed over a second demining vehicle to Armenia – a more compact MV-4 model.

According to the EU press service, the vehicle was unveiled by Ambassador Vasilis Maragos and Eduard Petrosyan, Director of the Humanitarian Demining and Expertise Services Center of Armenia. It is noted that, like the larger MV-10 vehicle, which was handed over in July, the MV-4 is equipped with a remote control system, allowing demining specialists to carry out work in hazardous areas from a safe distance.

"The European Union also provides training support to Armenian specialists in the operation of demining vehicles and partially covers the Center's operating costs." This support will contribute to increasing the efficiency and safety of the work of Armenian demining specialists, enabling them to clear mines faster and more safely, so that residents of border communities can return to normal life," the European Union concluded.
