The article examines the damage and destruction of the fertile soil layer because of military operations, in particular the detonation of various types of explosive objects, and the level of contamination of agricultural soils with heavy metals and other harmful substances is studied. A method of restoring the surface of damaged lands due to bombing is proposed, which involves first cleaning the sinkholes from damaged and contaminated soil with heavy metals and other dangerous substances. If a dangerous concentration of heavy metals and other dangerous substances is detected on the surface of the funnel, then the removed contaminated layer of soil must be disposed of. During disposal of the removed contaminated soil layer, it is proposed to use a flexible screw conveyor with a sectional screw working body. The structural scheme of the experimental installation with the attachment system of the machine-tractor unit and a flexible screw conveyor is shown. The axial speed and power of transporting damaged and contaminated soil by the sectional working body of the screw conveyor along the curved route were determined. The calculation showed that the angular velocities of the adjacent sections are almost the same.
This study draws attention to the importance of soil condition monitoring after restoration works. Forecasting the possible environmental consequences of using the proposed methods is an important aspect to prevent further pollution. In addition, the results of the experiments can serve as a basis for the development of new cleaning technologies adapted to specific conditions. It is also important to take into account the impact of land restoration on the local ecosystem and agricultural practices, which can positively affect the restoration of soil fertility.

Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC is a scholarly professional journal with a long-standing history and stable academic tradition, reflecting the evolution of engineering and technical sciences within the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine.
The journal was founded in 1997 under the title Bulletin of Vinnytsia State Agricultural Institute. According to the Resolution of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine dated September 11, 1997, the publication obtained the status of a professional scientific journal, which enabled the publication of the main results of doctoral and candidate dissertations in technical sciences. From its inception, the journal positioned itself as an academic platform for addressing current issues of mechanization, electrification, and technical support of agricultural production. During 2001–2014, the journal was published under the title Proceedings of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. Series: Technical Sciences (State Registration Certificate of Print Media KV No. 16644-5116 PR dated April 30, 2010). Throughout this period, a systematic approach to the selection and peer review of scientific manuscripts was established, the thematic scope of publications was expanded, and continuity of scientific directions as well as the development of sectoral engineering schools was ensured. Since 2015, the journal has been published under its current title, Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC (State Registration Certificate No. 21906-11806 R dated March 12, 2016). The change of title reflected the expansion of the journal’s thematic coverage and its orientation toward interdisciplinary research in mechanical engineering, energy systems, electrical engineering, transport technologies, automation, and digital solutions for the agro-industrial complex.
