Lieutenant Shukri Islami presented some of the exposed equipment used by the unit for dealing with explosive devices. Frequency jammer, suit robot, and anti drone are some of the devices for which Islami showed their function.
“Today we have exposed some of the equipment used by the unit for dealing with explosive devices. The first device is a frequency jammer, which is used in cases where we suspect remote-controlled explosive devices. We have a robot anti-bomb protective suit, which the operator wears in cases when he goes to a vehicle that is suspected of being an explosive device, and we also have the anti-drone device which is used in cases when we have a drone flying that is suspicious… It is also the robot that is controlled through the command from a distance. It is used in cases where we suspect that it is an explosive device and in order not to endanger the operator, in some cases we send the robot”, said Islami.
These activities have started a few days ago and will continue until the central ceremony which will be held on September 6, where high state dignitaries, senior management of KP, as well as dignitaries from Kosovo, the region and beyond are expected to participate.
