that is way beyond anyone can clean in such a short time, beside the capacity they claim. More than 20 000 mines and UXO's in one month, they must be counting every part of a bullet or shrapnell, otherwise it is imposible, meaning that each deminer has discovered 500 mines or UXO's only in May. What an efficiency...wow
