ICM 1/35 "To Be Ahead, To Save The Life" Sappers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine # 35753

The Sappers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are a specialized unit responsible for explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) and countering improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

They are highly trained professionals who undertake dangerous missions to locate and disarm explosive devices in conflict zones and other hazardous areas.

The unit was created in 2014 as part of the Ukrainian military's response to the ongoing conflict in Eastern Ukraine.

Since then, the Sappers have played a vital role in clearing areas of explosive devices and preventing civilian casualties.

Sappers undergo rigorous training to develop the skills necessary to identify, disarm, and dispose of explosive devices safely.

They use a range of specialized equipment, including robots, to locate and disable IEDs.

They also work closely with other units, such as the Ukrainian military's engineering corps and special forces, to ensure that areas are safe for civilians and military personnel alike.

In addition to their work in conflict zones, the Sappers also provide support in disaster response situations, such as earthquakes or floods.

They are highly respected for their bravery and skill in one of the most dangerous jobs in the military.
