The article investigates and analyzes the impact of armed aggression and military operations on the soil cover of agricultural lands, in particular mechanical destruction, contamination, and degradation of the fertile soil layer caused by the detonation of missiles, aerial bombs, artillery shells, and other explosive devices. It has been established that shelling results in the formation of craters of various diameters and depths in agricultural fields, while the soil within the explosion zone undergoes compaction, mixing, structural degradation, and contamination with metal fragments and toxic substances. A sequence of measures for restoring disturbed lands has been substantiated, including site inspection, digital mapping of damaged areas using satellite, UAV, and ground-based monitoring, determination of crater geometric parameters, soil sampling and laboratory analysis, removal of the contaminated soil layer, and restoration of the land surface. A special working body mounted on an excavator boom has been proposed for the mechanized removal of the damaged soil layer from the inner surface of a crater. For transporting the removed material, the use of a flexible screw conveyor equipped with a sectional auger working body is recommended. Based on the geometric parameters of the craters, the required volumes of mineral and potentially fertile soil for backfilling, compaction, and surface leveling are determined. Further restoration of soil fertility involves the incorporation of plant residues, biological preparations, humic substances, and the application of phytoremediation using perennial grasses. The proposed set of technological measures makes it possible to improve the accuracy of damage assessment, mechanize reclamation operations, reduce the time required for their implementation and associated costs, restore the agrophysical, agrochemical, and biological properties of the soil, return damaged lands to agricultural use, and reduce environmental risks associated with the consequences of explosive impacts.
