Israel tests new 'bacterial' weapon.

Israeli scientists at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem have developed a "bacterial weapon" capable of detecting landmines buried underground.

Israeli scientists at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem have developed a new type of "bacterial weapon" that, according to the scientists, could revolutionize demining.

This system uses a combination of laser scanners and a special type of bacteria that can glow.

The drones will be equipped with laser systems along with special bacteria that will allow them to detect landmines and enemy warheads.

According to a report in the journal Nature Biotechnology, Israeli researchers have successfully studied the use of a special type of bacteria to locate landmines deep underground and unexploded ordnance.

Scientists have successfully experimented with this particular type of bacteria by exposing them to explosives, and then, under the influence of a laser beam, these bacteria began to glow. This success allows for their use in detecting warheads from a distance.

During testing, this type of bacteria was released into the environment over an area where several different types of landmines were placed. Then, using a laser scanner, this special bacteria found all the landmines within a given area. This demonstrates its highly effective capabilities.

According to the program's head, Shimshon Belkin, there is a need to further improve the sensitivity of the "bacteria" sensors and, in particular, to make them even more compact.

According to the plan, the system will be installed on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and when equipped with this weapon system, they will be able to operate and sweep minefields over large areas.

However, information about this system is currently not fully available. For example, we don't yet know how to determine the intensity or spread of bacteria, or whether they pose a danger to humans...

It is known that every year, the number of victims caused by landmines is considerable, reaching tens of thousands worldwide, and most of them are civilians.

It is believed that there are still about 100 million undiscovered landmines scattered across the Earth's surface, so this invention by Israeli scientists, in addition to its military significance, also has great humanitarian value.

Furthermore, the emergence of this system will help engineering forces around the world solve their work quickly and efficiently. This is because engineering forces in many countries, including Vietnam, have faced numerous difficulties and dangers in clearing unexploded ordnance left over from the war.
