The UK, the Netherlands, and Belgium just handed Ukraine the core of a future Black Sea demining fleet.

By June 2026, the Ukrainian Navy’s fleet will reportedly expand with five mine countermeasure vessels transferred by allies.

They will be temporarily based in the UK, but are viewed as key assets for future operations in the Black Sea after the end of the war.

Agi: Come funzionano le mine dell'Iran

AGI - L'Iran possiede ancora migliaia di mine navali nel suo arsenale, secondo le stime della Defense Intelligence Agency. La geografia dello Stretto di Hormuz e delle acque circostanti gioca a vantaggio dell'Iran. La lunga costa meridionale offre ampie opportunità alle piccole imbarcazioni di lanciarsi al largo con mine. Le strette rotte di navigazione lasciano poco spazio per il passaggio delle navi. E l'acqua nel punto più stretto dello Stretto è profonda solo circa 60 metri, abbastanza bassa da permettere la posa di campi minati.
I tipi di mine sono sostanzialmente quattro
Quelle galleggianti alla deriva, quelle trattenute da una catena a un'ancora e che restano sotto il pelo dell'acqua, quelle sul fondale e quelle magnetiche. Le più comuni sono le mine ancorate: hanno testate esplosive tenute appena sotto la superficie da una catena collegata a una pesante ancora.
Le mine galleggianti sono sferiche: nella metà inferiore della testata si trova l'esplosivo, con una sacca d'aria sopra per fornire galleggiabilità. Delle spesse sporgenze a forma di corno contengono dispositivi che fanno esplodere la mina al contatto con lo scafo di una nave.
Durante la Guerra Fredda, le "mine di fondo" si diffusero maggiormente. Contengono una quantità di esplosivo molto maggiore rispetto alle mine ancorate e giacciono sul fondale marino. Queste mine utilizzano una combinazione di sensori (magnetici, acustici, di pressione e sismici) per rilevare la presenza di una nave nelle vicinanze. Dopodiché, esplodono con una forza di centinaia di chilogrammi, proiettando una grande bolla di gas verso l'alto, in direzione della nave bersaglio.
Rifiuti, relitti e altri detriti ingombrano il fondale marino, rendendo spesso difficile e dispendiosa in termini di tempo la ricerca di queste mine.
L'Iran possiede anche mine magnetiche: piccole cariche esplosive posizionate da nuotatori o sommozzatori per neutralizzare una nave, spesso prendendo di mira il sistema di propulsione e il timone sott'acqua. In genere esplodono dopo un periodo di tempo prestabilito, dando a chi le ha piazzate il tempo di mettersi in salvo.
Lo sminamento
È un'operazione pericolosa e non semplice, per una bonifica completa possono volerci anni. La soluzione più rapida è quella di creare una sorta di 'canale' indicato da boe, che consenta il passaggio delle navi. Per arrivare allo sminamento completo con tutto il tempo necessario. La condizione più ovvia, però, è che le navi impegnate nelle operazioni non siano bersagliate dal nemico con razzi e artiglieria.

How do Iranian mines work?

AGI - Iran still possesses thousands of naval mines in its arsenal, according to estimates by the Defense Intelligence Agency. The geography of the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waters favors Iran. The long southern coastline offers ample opportunities for small boats to venture far out with mines. The narrow shipping lanes leave little room for ship passage. And the water at the narrowest point of the Strait is only about 60 meters deep, low enough to allow the deployment of minefields.

The types of mines are essentially four: those drifting, those held by a chain to an anchor and remaining below the water surface, those on the seabed, and magnetic mines. The most common are the moored mines: they have explosive warheads held just below the surface by a chain connected to a heavy anchor.

Floating mines are spherical: the explosive is found in the lower half of the warhead, with an air pocket above to provide buoyancy. Thick horn-shaped protrusions contain devices that detonate the mine upon contact with a ship's hull.

During the Cold War, “bottom mines” spread more widely. They contain a much larger quantity of explosive than moored mines and lie on the seabed. These mines use a combination of sensors (magnetic, acoustic, pressure, and seismic) to detect the presence of a ship nearby. After that, they explode with a force of hundreds of kilograms, projecting a large bubble of gas upwards, in the direction of the target ship.

Waste, wrecks, and other debris obstruct the seabed, often making the search for these mines difficult and time-consuming.

Iran also possesses magnetic mines: small explosive charges placed by swimmers or divers to neutralize a ship, often targeting the propulsion system and rudder underwater. They generally explode after a predetermined period of time, giving those who placed them time to escape.

Demining

Is a dangerous and complex operation, and it can take years for a complete cleanup. The quickest solution is to create a sort of ‘channel’ marked by buoys, which allows the passage of ships. To arrive at complete demining with all the necessary time. However, the most obvious condition is that ships engaged in operations are not targeted by the enemy with rockets and artillery.

Picture taken before a demolition of UXOs cleaned by the demining teams I was supervising in Raqqa, all the shells were empty shells used to make handmade mortars, IEDs or other explosive devices/ordnance by ISIS. Contamination is always one of the greatest threat to communities and humanitarian actors, explosive ordnance will remain dangerous for decades leaving behind them a tray of death and suffering and land release operation remain extremely costly and slow
