Any vehicle can detect a minefield, once
& the easy way is ALWAYS mined...
Thats why we send the marines on first
@@Aaron-zu3xn that doesn't matter, because the army, the marines, & the navy all have combat engineers, so no one cares if you go first. But they DO care when someone steps on an AP mine, or an AT mine, that sends a 12-inch molten plate thru the floor of your ifv & the people inside...
MY personal fave was the APMs that you set the timer ⏲️ on & toss over your shoulder while you have to E&E from someone in the jungle. They do the same thing as a bouncing Betty if you hit 1 of the 8 trip wires it shoots out. They work good on tracking dogs too... 🐕
I still hold the record for being the ONLY one in the US army who got a confirmed kill for booby-trapping someone's toothbrush 🪥... tripwire makes the job a whooole lot easier 🤣🤫🤣... I miss being in 1st sfg...
yes ukraines and anto in their counteroffensive willstep on them.. theya re great mine detectorss.
@@Aaron-zu3xn borodai ddint died this time with a nato mine, only russians mines kill, next time russians will not fail where nato failed.
It really is fascinating seeing all the different gear and how it's being used in this ongoing conflict shame that people are suffering due to bad leadership there and abroad
People are suffering due to Russian and Soviet folk first of all, and their leadership as a consequence.
@@TheKitMurkit the whole world is suffering because of the Anglo-Saxons.
@@user-no9eg5ho5c didn't know putin and Russia forces are Anglo Saxon
@@user-no9eg5ho5c USSR/Russia is the cancer of the whole region.
@@ka3ax85 the usa and britain is the cancer of this world.
Very interesting. Before this conflict I wasnt aware of the number and variaty of Mines still existing.
Seems to be a myriad of them doesn't there!
well rusiia have new minesss you never see them you only feel them probably juts one time
At least it's not as nasty as the Swedish Stridsvagnsmina 6, a mine that looks a bit like a bowl with straight upper half sides, it's a magnetic HEAT mine with a two step ignition, the first, weak charge, blows away any covering material, then the main charge detonates and sends a HEAT jet into the underside of the vehicle.
The mine has a built in tampering detonator in the bottom which can be prepared with a hair trigger by placing a plastic disc with a small central magnet in a cavity in the bottom of the mine before the mine is buried and armed.
The mine can not be reset or moved once armed or it will trigger the anti-tampering device, it will trigger on any sufficient change in the ambient magnetic field around it, it's battery lasts for more than 6 months, and the anti tampering detonator is also triggered by any attempt to open the battery compartment.
If the magnetic disk is fitted, the anti tampering detonator can, iirc, activate even when the mine has run out of battery for the magnetic main detonator.
Once it's armed, it's removed by blasting it/shooting it on site.
Thank u, interesting and sound lethal
Sure but Sweden hasn't actually got the size to provide much resources.
Pity the near miss. 😢
Yeah. The fewer Putin puppets breathing, the cleaner the air.
Thirty day timer is a great idea. Not sure about the metal detector thing. I bet there are loads of modern electronic things that could react with that badly.
Metal detectors emit very specific magnetic frequencies. Its a lot different than standard unshielded em frequencies.
It’s a mine that’s intended to kill destroy vehicles & kill people. Being triggered by people walking or driving past that are using electronics isn’t necessarily a bug.
@@briansmithwins lees ur kids walk to school fool
@@littlehills739 Why are there kids in a war zone? Why is there a war zone?
@@atankersview They use a magnetometer and yes, it would be pretty easy to make the mine react only to that signal and not say... the EM noise made by flipping a light switch.
In fact, it would be a simple as the anti-theft alarms in clothing stores.
Though, to be fair, Russia also fields a vehicle designed to trip mines ahead of strategic missiles convoys and these vehicles generate a very powerful and wide range EM pulse that could probably fry a lot of things...
They must be feeling a bit frisky to just stop in an open field and stare at a mine for a while.
Insane isn't it!! Couldn't believe it.
Well, they now know they are in the middle of a mine field. Running around excitedly would not be a great idea.
Wouldn’t put it past this clown to pose in front of a dud or unarmed mine to make himself look like badass.
@@cm275 ,
That's poroshenkos prerogative, clown.)
Actually it's the Metal and sound detection mines..
Basically It detects The metal near it and then the sound of the tank nearby Then it runs matches through its Database and when it Matches The Sound with Russian BMP, T72, or T90 then only it will explode otherwise if a ABHRAMS passes nearby it's fuze mechanism is made not to explode at particular Tanks sounds. Hence these are next Gen Mines...and not to forget the safety system where after 1 week to 1year it will stop detonation. Hence increasing the safety.
Imagine writing all this dumb shit.
Saw a guy in Australia who had invented a gadget that attached to his shitty car but played the engine sound a muscle car, tied to the true engine RPM …
@@mattiasdahlstrom2024 interesting but most likely not very useful because the insane logistics required to fit sound and EM countermeasures would suck.
But on the plus side, tank crews now have a literal loudspeaker to blast anthems through.
Sadly not very useful when the 2 side use same tanks
@@victor6814 same people, same AK, same BMPs, same Su-25, same Mi-24’.s…. What a mayhem for friendly fire
Thanks for these excellent reports!! It's nice to get a technical rundown on some of the weaponry deployed in Ukraine. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you! Will do, more to come. Thanks for watching.
Dislike
Can't wait to try one!
Definitely smart to stand over a mine, next to your truck that has been disturbed and is set off by metal and point at it.
Good point
Upset as it was the anti tampering device could have been a hair away from detonating
Excellent video,can you make a video about PSRL-1?
Yes, should be able to, have been keeping my eye out for them. They're still appearing fairly regularly.
@@TheArmourersBench Thanks
Yes, Very Interesting ! ! !
THANKS 🙂😎👍
Hey guys look, SLAMs
Now what we need is someone with a motorcycle so we can put SLAMs at the side and run up to an enemy tank
Thats why your 5s and 20s are so important
Interesting to see them in tan
The training ones are in green , sale for the programmable version
Is it possible that one is just past it's 30 day run time?
Potentially! Some have also noted its upside down too.
So they emplaced the mine upside down? Or was it flipped over so the writing could just so happen to be seen?
Not sure at all. Looks fairly insitu in the video.
We have a similar mine made in Finland. I was just wondering how did they proseed?? Just drove away?? Because you are not going to touch the mine if it could blow up and on that angle it will definetly hit thw wehicle.
Probably walked away (if the mine is an actually active one)
lucky guy, i think the set up was not done correct. the sensing area (mag loop)was facing down in the ground which cause only 1 stage confirmation to arm the mine even if the mine vibration was activated. it could also because of the rubber wheel that cause a poor mag loop detection even if there was some mag loop sensing on the bottom of the mine..
While I wish there wasn't a war in the first place, I'm glad to see that some of the mines being used like these will deactivate themselves after 30 days and not become a menace to the citizens of the country in the future.
These mines are amazing! It can be hidden until 1,50m deep in the ground!! it is stupide to set this mine like we can see in the video
for sure your a war expert in wepons ..
When you doing the video on the Bren rifles in Ukraine?
About to start a series looking at 5.56 rifles so it'll be in there!
@@TheArmourersBench saw a photo of a Russian backed separatist with an Captured Aug
This mine cant be defused what i heard.
would you defuse a russian mine? i wouldnt
well the great about nato mines are theya re gonna kill civlinas and nato soldeirs,,their own mercenaires enjoy the aprty.
That shogun or whatever it was that got blown up wasnt eight tons. Hmmmm
Exactly, wondering if the proximity and weight tripped the anti-tamper. Or it was another type of mine, that's a possibility too.
I'd guess it was that whole cube/square thing with EM. 2tonnes practically in contact probably reads like 8tonnes at normal engagement range. Ditto we've seen videos of EFP's going through and through thin skinned vehicles causing no more real damage than soiled trousers.
"Vertical" EFP or does it just throw frag???
It’s a full-width attack mine. The belly armour of a tank is one of its weakest spots. The Yugo TMRP-6 uses a M-S EFP in the same way (albeit with different fuzing)
EFP
Yeah so what?…..the mine is doing its job very well
Sad with those mines when they don’t do what should be done ! Bondorai after a “ special operation “ in Crimea he was so excited that he explained the next target…“ So when I finished the work in Crimea I automatically... came here to work in southeast Ukraine. “.. The so-called self Donetsk Republic . After destabilising Ukraine he is living now in Moskou. This is how the russians are “ working “ in the past 20 years.
That thing seems to be buried the wrong way around.
It does seem to be
you ahve to compain to zelink they put themines befor the counteroffensive and on the offensive they step on them riussians dont need to do anyhting just wacth and have fun...
Can’t you people see that the lead car has been upgraded with armory,so obviously it’s going to asheavy as an APC.
that s the way it is, war an weapons secret stories
The what effect?
Misznay-Shardin effect!
What armor vest is he wearing at :30 seconds?
Some lvl II flack vest.
That mine cant be disarmed.
That can be a problem.
try it in ukranian you will not last a weeek for sure
@@robertokandal ?
I'm not surprised the mine triggered with the weight of the 4x4, they are designed to be triggered by vehicles to also be triggered by lighter military vehicles like light armored vehicles or trucks.
That's why they're also really dangerous for civilians unfortunately...
There is a video that came out recently from Russian sources where you see two Russian quad bikes rolling in a dirt road.
It's filmed from the helmet cam of the driver of the second vehicles, after around a minute of footage the leading quad bike roll over an AT mine (I deduce it's one giving the strength of the explosion, AP mines are their to mainly injure an enemy).
The rest of the video is the 3 other guys (including the one filming, they are later joined by what looks like 2 colaborators) looking around trying to initially find where the body of the iirc 3 men on that quad are, then trying to find all the pieces of at least one of them, gather all the potentially salvageable equipment, they start gathering the bodies before the video cut.
All of that just to say that AT mines seems to not need that much weight to be triggered, but you're also right, it may be magnet related.
Pfft, as if nato terrorists care about civilians...
theya re triggered with anyhgting,, even if you jump oon it
4:42 😊😊😊
@@IIIllIlIIIIllIII lmao Russian bot spotted
@@robertokandal that's not how anti-tank mines work.
Thanks for this video
Hope this will help Ukraine
I hope that European farmers will get acquainted very closely with various NATO mines at the spring sowing season. Nothing will help Ukraine, the patient is dead.😁
@@user-no9eg5ho5c so why did Russia abandon Kherson then?
@@baneofbanes Who told you that Russia abandoned Kherson? Russia will take all of Ukraine and even take part in the fourth partition of Poland. It's just that the moment hasn't come yet. First, the collective West must spend heavily on reviving the cold and foul-smelling corpse of Ukraine. And then be humiliated. Don't worry later everyone will see and understand this ingenious game of the Russians.
Hang on. EU is always going on how horrible US is to not sign the 'mine treaty' because it would mean we couldn't field operator activated and recoverable claymore mines (US dosen't use set it and forget it mines) but just france alone has deployed 400,000 set it and forget it mines?
It’s treaty banning anti pero sell mines, not anti vehicle mines.
do you even know what was the convention of ottawa ?
These are anti vehicle mines. Ottawa treaty bans anti personel mines, which are far more dangerous for civilians.
de rien
Roadside bomb.
No worries - Alex 'The Sycophant' Borodai will be given plenty of future opportunities of offer his life for Putin's Russia
too bad that he didn't activate it...
Did i understand right that these mines are illegal because they can be set of by metal detectors?
I don't remember if it was Italy or also France that gave Ukraine fragmentation munition. The Donetsk Republic showed last year probes of use of these munition against civilian objectives in the city (apartments) even so the country that gave the ammo (France or Italy) said in the past they destroyed those for been against the Geneva Convention. But with the confessions of Merkel about the true intentions of the West with the Minsk agreements is no surprise that they did anything with the ammo but what they stated.
Lol sure thing ivan.
Shame it missed
We have a mine of each people who wear a Z on a military uniform
so... drone with strong metal detectors can disarm this mine really easy
Unfortunately, Borodei did not step on it.
Too bad the second one didnt go off
for some reason the mine next to the car is upside down.
@@hardihard1610 i reckon the person placing the mine did not have that much time.
@@azkrouzreimertz9784 or just wasnt trained with the mine
France: mine ban treaty since 1997/ 1998.
Only for anti personal mine
@@bastyen12 yes- not anti vehicle.thx
❤💙🤍 💙🤍❤
Funny how Ukraine cries on the "news" about the future years of mine sweeping but uses "shady" mines (from Geneva perspective)
These mines aren’t shady at all. The mine bans only apply to anti-personnel, not anti-vehicle mines.
And on top of that there wouldn’t be any mines in Ukraine at all if not for the Russians.
@@baneofbanes Next time do not point at yourself as the rtd in the room, just listen to this part of the video one more time 2:38 I said shady on "quotes" on purpose, because they aren't your usual AT mine that is used more like a road block to slow down advances this ones will explode if you use a metal detector to locate them (I suppose only 1 month, before they deactivate themselves) this is effectively a booby trap making them not removable (for 1 moth I suppose).
BTW Russia have and has done plenty of bad things, but in this particular case they are the ones in the right side, the Ukrainian coup government has been shelling the Donbass for the last 8 years (with proof, but I have seen YT channels deleted because they dare to cover the Donbass conflict, some even were pro Ukrainian).
In addition Ukraine had defensive mine fields made by themselves way before 2022.
As a final thought, what is this teenager excuse of? "It is your fault that I hurt myself"
저게 폭발했어야 했어. 우크라이나에게 승리와 영광을~
borodai ddint died this time with a nato mine, only russians mines kill, next time russians will not fail where nato failed.
Taxpayers money used to build them, send them to Ukraine. Then taxpayers money will be used to send people to Ukraine to remove them.
Considering these mines deactivate after being armed for 30 days, removal can probably consist of a 2 guys with a shovel and a wheelbarrow.
My taxes are well used and i am glad they are in the hand of the Ukrainian. 🇫🇷🇺🇦
Very very few deactivating mines actually deactivate. Theses mines will be no different, Iraq/ Kuwait war proves this.
@@valac7820 well spent for what? Ukraine is not a EU or Nato member and Russia would never dare attacking Nato members, as that would only lead to nukes being used sooner or later.
So far around 200k people died. For what? I dont like my taxmoney being used to kill other people in another country. Russia hasnt threatened my country before we started doing that
@@AbuHajarAlBugatti Russia started this war and threatened my country to not intervene.
The Ukrainians asked for our help, and so we will help them. May the Russians reap the storm they have sowed.

les mines antichar sont légales
They been doing the same in Africa 🌍🌍🌍 since the territory was a former colony which the French don't want it to let go n be free completely!!..
Actually they have a safety features that they disable after set time.
bot in France and for the Russians a good movie
Not great advertising for French military materiel if it doesn't even work.
this is a tank mine, did not work with personal or light vehicles
From other comments :
- the mine seems to have been placed upside down
- they have a safety feature which turns them off after a week to a year. Maybe it was just past the safety delay.
Not like one of those mines disabled the car in front... It's okay, not everyone has eyes.
As already pointed, one of the mine obviously worked perfectly, the second one was obviously placed upside down - and these mines are only expected to detect way heavier vehicles so it’s even an indication of great quality they explode with lighter ones (when they’re not upside down or haven’t exceeded their activation delay).
And so you know, the idea of activation delay is to prevent forgotten mines from killing innocent civilians ones the war is over. Forgotten mines kill a lot of people in Afghanistan and other former theatres.
Lol, given took at the lead car seems to work fine.
