Ukraine's Artemida drone neutralizes Russian mine detection system

Ukrainian engineers have developed a drone-dropped device named Artemida to neutralize Russia's Okhota seismic sensor, which triggers antipersonnel mines from up to 90 meters away.

The Okhota minefield system was originally developed in the 1970s.
