Disarmament Solutions hosts IED awareness course for MSB - 3rd to 5th of November 2023.
Week 44 brought a rewarding experience as we conducted a specialized training course for MSB (Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap), empowering EOD personnel with invaluable insights into IED awareness.
The 3-day course incorporated real-world examples, particularly from the current situation in Ukraine, to offer participants a comprehensive view of IED threats. The education spanned over a range of topics, including risk mindset, differentiating IEDD from CMD, and the United Nations Improvised Explosive Device Disposal Standards. The practical excercises, such as ground sign awareness, IED indicators, and operating in darkness, took place in and around buildings, vehichles, and terrain. The objective was to enable the participants to grasp the challenges they might encounter in various situations.

We proudly handed over the first shipment of donated demining equipment to Ukraine.
On November 05 2022, Ukrainain Embassy in Sweden recieved its first batch of donated deming equipment.
"This will help us save lives. It will save the lives of the elderly, students, and children," said Andrij Plachotnjuk, Ukraine's ambassador to Sweden. Around 30 percent of all arable land in Ukraine is estimated to be mined or unusable due to unexploded ammunition. The need for clearance is also great around roads and destroyed bridges.
Each box that is sent is enough to block off three kilometers for clearance. The swedish news press TV4 were present to report
