The sensor is capable of detecting human footsteps from 90 meters/300 feet away. In July, Russian military blogger “Combat Engineer” wrote on a Telegram channel that the Ukrainian military came up with a solution against Hunting – a metal cylinder with a spike dropped from a drone. The device has the name ‘ARTEMIDA’ on the side, which is a Ukrainian name for the Greek Artemis – the goddess of hunting. The mil blogger said that Artemida emits a series of pulses imitating human footsteps to fool Hunting’s sensor into firing off all its mines harmlessly and disarm it. Artemida depends on identifying or suspecting the location of a Hunting minefield, but its primary advantage is striking before anyone gets close enough to detect it.
