Thanks for watching guys, here's the accompanying article: armourersbench.com/2022/05/29/german-dm22-directional-anti-tank-mines-in-ukraine/
This is technically worse than a panzer foust
i come here from a picture of it being used in the field i believe it was on OperatorStarksy or another YT community page
@@Aaron-zu3xn I just watched one on Ukraine leaks on YT.
it has been really cool seeing how all the cold war gear is doing against itself in the field and against its original intended adversary
its also very telling to the superiority of western technology and the irrelevance of numbers in a modern war (to a limit)
@@squgieman In addition to the importance of logistics, long-term storage, maintenance, and organization.
@@AnonEMus-cp2mn Yes, aswell as morale, without morale your military will always fail
you know not very cool for us here in Ukraine. we gave up nukes for guarantees of protection. and where is that proteciton?
@@mrpicky1868 that is a question for your leaders and our leaders as a spectator in the west im watching the show and not taking sides sure would have been cheaper of they put you in nato for us the tax payer 40 billion dollars most recent
I could imagine that in the heat of the moment the enemy will believe these mines are actual rocket troops.
Pretty ingenious design to be honest
I remember seeing WW2 weapons with this concept. I think either the Brits or the USA used something similar in WW2 but may have been improvised.
They did indeed czcams.com/video/8nwLzDVdxFw/video.html
@@Whitpusmc Looks very similar like a british WW2 PIAT.
@@wolfgangemmerich7552 yep, but definetly works a lot better.
@@Whitpusmc those were improvised solutions. the first directional anti tank mine was used by the Hungarian army in ww2, the 44.M off-route mine or LŐTAK
Having an extensive background in weapons such a missiles, firearms and explosives, I was not aware of this mine, Thank You For Posting, 👍. Subbed
Thank you for the kind comment, appreciate the sub!
my question is would it be more effective if you dug a hole and had it fire straight up through the bottom of the tank?
@@Aaron-zu3xn Then you need to know where exactly the tank crosses a breach. This would only be a kill point. The PARM makes a kill line between houses, groups of trees,...
And you don't need to dig in open sight, make a hole where you can spot something strange looking on the path of your tank... This is set up much quicker.
@@Aaron-zu3xn i mean, the bottom of a tank is vulnerable enough that using regular AT mines like so might as well be enough, right?
However i do see the advantage of actually penetrating the bottom hull instead of relying on a concussive blast and possibly spalling.
I think that a design of a conventional mine with a shaped charge could have a much smaller cone and thus be more convenient for burying it. Plus I'd put a slight delay on the detonation so that you aren't putting a hole only through the tracks, transmission or drive sprocket but under the actual fighting compartment.
Maybe it could be just a big spike looking long shaped charge, that you can put in the ground by simply making a deep narrow hole with a hand drill, like one of those made for gardening.
@@jackmclane1826 i definitely agree with this tho
Never heard of it. Thanks!!!
.................
Laying mines, and saying, " Look Ma, no shovel!"
This is the Weapon being used against Russian soldiers in the "Ukrainian Death Ray" videos.
It goes to say that you absolutely DO NOT want to be on the receiving side of one of these Joints...
That video was horrible. The german military might be depleted, but they do know how to make weapons.
This concept was used in ww2. The bazooka rounds came in a cardboard tube. The tubes could be lashed to fences or bushes ect. Several could be wired up to an engineers type electrical detonator and fired in a Salvo. The accuracy would be poor but with ranges of a few yards it made for a nasty ambush.
Yes it was, I have a video showing one of those!
Ukraine has turned into a test bed for all kinds of weapons

Thanks for the great explanation. I've watched a few videos of these in action so, it's nice to know how they work.
Thanks for watching!
Such a quintessentially german weapon system. Simple, pragmatic and pretty reliable:
You simply string a fiber optic tripwire over a roadway/path where you expect enemy tanks and aim the mine to strike the vehicle which triggered the mine.
Can the firing unit be reused with a new warhead if recovered?
A very good question, I've seen no mention of them being recycled but it would not surprise me if it was possible.
There is absolutely a video of this mine being used. Completely destroyed the truck: it was hit twice also. Was on a paved road surrounded by woods. I could find the video if you wanted.
Can't find it, help
@@MrDarkenral look for this on you tube. It's hitting a supply truck i think. You can see the mine exiting stage right after it passes straight through.
" the ukranian national guard struck a supply truck with a german PARM DM22 HEAT off-route mine"
@@MrDarkenral l believe this is the one rufiorufio is referencing. CZcams takes links down though.

I can think of a few videos I've seen that people have thought to be very close NLAW shots or similar, that would make more sense to be this.
@@nikiTricoteuse thanks
I am sure that Ukraine has used some of these already.
They sound very interesting.
It should be failry easy to disable a tank from the side, as they don't have armour over the tracks and wheels!
Sounds like the perfect kind of mine to disable the first vehicle in a convoy and then set artillery on the convoy
except most Russian armored vehicles use heavy ERA and side skirts over their sides
@@12LoLproductions You see the tube in the front of the projectile? Its similar to Panzerfaust 3. A tandem warhead where the first one triggers the reactive armor and the second does the job. This is already designed to handle reactive armor.
@@12LoLproductions ERA has been shown to not be very effective.
@@12LoLproductions Only tanks have ERA. The BMPs have no ERA and only very thin armour, offering only protection from machine gun fire. They get destroyed by quite light anti armour weapons.
Awesome mine and presentation
I like this concept. Just think of the Claymore in COD. Literally same principle, just in the german way: Bigger, against Tanks, and you can wonderfully shout PANZERABWEHRMINE, you can't shout M 7XXX
Its called DM 12 or DM 22.
JUST watched a video of one of these taking out an RU vehicle. I had to google DM22 because the explosion looked more like an IED than a landmine.
Watching this makes sense. Its basically a tank shell-mine.
Glad this was helpful in explaining it!
Nice piece of kit 👌 👍
The Americans had one (which I used in Service) - the M24 Off route mine. Also a HEAT roaund. It was command or trip detonated. Nice bang and flash when it goes off and nice very satisying bang when it detonates.
Was wondering how exactly these worked. Thanks
You’re welcome 😊
DM 12 PARM 1 (not DM22)
Deutsches Modell 12 PanzerAbwehrRichtMine 1
Manufacturer: former MBB, Daimler until 1998
Weight: 10 kg
Diameter: 128 mm
Height: 39 cm
Weight of explosive charge: 1,5 kg HEAT (High Explosive Anti Tank)
Detonator: sensor wire
Range: min. 2 m; max. 40 m (60 m with infrared sensor system)
The mine, once set up, can be used at one location for a maximum of 40 days, then it shuts down.
The price per mine should be less than 5000 Euro.
They're all appearing to be marked DM-22 from what we can see.
@@TheArmourersBench Yes, you are right, at 1:36 it is clearly visible. I found the indication in the German Wikipedia. The price per mine was exactly 4880 German marks, so today - adjusted for inflation - really 5000 euros. Thanks for your great video
Thanks Michael, oh really, I guess that's a bargain compared to a T-72!
That thing is anti-tank edition of claymore. That was apparently developed and deployed after I left service. As a remotely activated weapon system, that thing is deadly and useful against lightly armored or soft skinned vehicles.
It can also take out tanks like the T72.
@@RandomGuy9 That thing eats 700mm RHA for breakfast. That's a T72 head on (but it will usually be set to hit from the side, usually).
Excellent 💥
supposedly there is also an acoustic sensor which makes the whole thing even more interesting
The last models use acoustic sensor that can filter out shooting and other sounds and can be programmed to f.e. leave 3 tanks through and destroy the 4th. Leaving in best case the 3 tanks in front exposed and with blocked retreat way.
Germany is sending specific weapons that will be useful and not just a bunch of equipment like armored personnel carriers that will just be another target, Germany is playing it smart and everyone else is crying that they aren't sending anything just because another country sent them metal coffins.
Not really but kinda🤔 i think
Right now the west is watching Ukraine bleed out as it is forced to stand ground against artillery it had no counter to.
Much of the promised superior cannon did not make it to the front.
The Ukrainians are forced to eat losses until the Russians advance then pop up and kill a few. Not sustainable. Even a small amount of mid range rockets would push back the Russians. Ukraine needs to reduce the number of launchers in Russian hands and needs an AA defense against supersonic inbound missiles. I notice Iron Dome never made it despite promises. Ukraine patriot systems.
You can't take back territory in counterattacks with obsolescent mines. Delude yourself however you wish- Germany is cucking out
great video!
Thank you!
I told myself at the beginning of this conflict that armored vehicles will run into these unmanned anti tank launchers
Dunno why, I'm getting all of the mine videos today! Not a bad way to spend a Sunday lol
We got plenty of videos on mines that's for sure. Thanks for watching!
@@TheArmourersBench the pleasure is all mine. I love your stuff, man.
Is that tandem HEAT configuration?
This is exactly why you need 19Ds. This looks absolutely lethal.
Looks
@@crazyjoe7060 yeah from the video evidence provided it appears these are very effective in penetrating the armor of tanks, which is what they're designed to do.
this is good !!
They've been using them on Russian infantry I've just seen a video with it.
Everything that creats a russian "jack in the box! is god for Ukraine and the rest of the world.
'Russian jack in the box.' Man, that's mean. Love it.
The Ukrainians are excellent at ambushes, I hope they use them well
I couldn't find any single video showing the PARM being tested. Anyone find it?
I renember laying them on military exercises and forgetting where I laid them when I was new in the army. In the forest every place looked the same.
The LAW 80 (or LAW94) also had an off route mind capability.
Yes indeed it did!
HEAT Rounds or Devices (High Explosive Anti Tank) are versatile. If the DM22 can penetrate 100mm of armor, that is significant. Ability to auto detonate with cable, or remote detonate makes this idea for guerilla warfare style that Ukraine is doing quite effectively. At some point, Russians are going to realize that 'the juice ain't worth the squeeze'. Hopefully they leave sooner than later.
This Ukraine dustup is a great way to work off all of the Cold War inventory so that it can be replaced with much more modern electronic-oriented weaponry. Russia gets to be on the receiving end of much of its old designs, too.
And also the rate of design and testing of new munitions, especially for Ukraine, in the past two years alone, and beyond is impressive.
There is going to be some really scary new toys coming just out of this war.
Good !👍
seems like needs a pressure fuse of some kind in countryside so civilians dont set it off.
would be great on contested highways and city thoroughfares but still depending on civilians and friendly units missing where the front line is.
can the warhead be dropped by a drone perhaps ;)
There are some videos out there of this mine in action
Awesome
There is now footage of one in action
100mm of RHA is interesting, really this is more for defeating APCs and lightly armored support vehicles then. Curious because penetration is basically a function of warhead diameter and these look quite large.
I think that's the released bottom end number and expect it'such higher than that.
this my Style ! Hot copper Jet from a save distance !
It's the weapon from Grubers Little Tank in Allo Allo
I didn't even know that this thing exists. German engineering strikes again
Them huns and their love for killy things...
@@martialme84 look at Ukraine, and you see who really loves killing and plunder...
It's not the only EFP AT mine, there are many and they've been around for years.
@@nagantm441 Its not an EFP mine...its a a HEAT warhead propelled by a recailless "gun" setup
@@martialme84 No, we don't. Actually most of us have a rather pacifist attitude, because we learned the hard way, that the rest of the world likes us much better, if we don't try to kill them.

with enough green bushes and woods no tank is 💥💥safe

Basically a HEAT shell mine
0:48 So why is the Japanese STB-1 used in that drawing ? lol
PTKM-1R Top attack anti-tank mine!
Interesting
This mine is good for wooded areas but how would you conceal it in flat terrain?
Fighting in open country is much more complicated. Deploying these would definitely be more difficult but the plan is conventional mines deny open country and these cover obvious paths of advance.
If there is a bush or building or any view obscuring obstacle along the roadside, place it behind it from the perspective of an approaching enemy. Might have the side effect of the ambushed column being mislead on being in an ambush with fighters or ATGM, not just a simple mine, and stall them further while they find out there isn't a shooter.
Camouflage netting is cheap. I would like to see them connected to a wireless network. You could bury them with a simple 'pop- up' mechanism as part of the trigger mechanism. You also create lots of dummy mechanisms, so the enemy doesn't know which ones are real and which are dummies. There was a video of a mine placed on the road, and the vehicle driving off-road to go around it and blowing up on the real mine. You hide the dummy mines poorly and the real mines well.
You can put it 100m away, it's very practical in urban combat, where you can put it inside a house, or a few stories up, inside a high rise building.
A cornfield would be the perfect cover.
The purpose of the mine is not to destroy anything but to make whoever is coming down the road deploy ie slow them down. They really have very little chance of hitting anything as the starts really have to align well to make a hit .
Also they a very good decoy devise for hidden ATGM sites. Set up 3 or 4 of these in a bush a good 300m from you ATMG site and pop them off when the ohter sides tanks appear. They wast their shots at them will you take you bead and pop them off.
Oh, they have a rather good chance to hit , as they will fly to the point determined by a trigger line...unless that tank realy races over the trigger...it will get hit
you're right, the mine triggers so quickly that no tank is fast enough not to be hit.
Eternal glory to those who stands up against tyranny ⭐

Basically the same concept as the EFP that the Iranians introduced in Afghna. Just better manufactured.
Or the SLAM mine or many others.
There is a video on the Ukraine Leaks channel posted 12 hours ago that says to show a DM22 destroying a vehicle.
I saw a ukrainian video with this mine in action, it almost split a t-72 in two
Hmm, interesting.. I've dealt with mines kind of similar to this in Iraq, but they were just EFPs, with a rather large diameter. Imagine a large kitchen pot, packed with explosives, and the lid inverted and made out of some thick copper. This seems to be just a HEAT warhead with a static mount. Now, there was rarely RPGs mounted like this, but thankfully with horrible mounting and triggering systems. All of that being said, the foremost threat was always just leftover munitions and explosives in amounts where being sloppy does not matter. :(
all of that being said, something like this has to be aimed properly.. and it seems like they have a whole set of sights set up, along with a mirror it seems, to allow the weapon to be aimed from above. (0:08)
They had self-made EFPs when I was in Afghanistan in 2010, but very poor DIY quality.
but also very rare, most IEDs were normal under bellys
WOW !!!!
Looks like the HEAT round taken from their L44 main gun and just...altered.
More like Panzerfaust with its dual hollow charge
100mm! this will truly change the tide of the war
That's a minimum. Top end is 600 to 1000mm
@@TheArmourersBench ok now that's something different ty
Traditional anti tank disables a tank rather than totally kill. This weapon seems to be intended to kill.
[Fun fact: Modern armys actually train rather to disable the enemy instead of kill.
A wounded soldier usually keeps his comrades from fighting effectivly, if they care for him..]
I would rather say.. both types of mines can kill a tank just fine.
Traditional mines also have more explosives material inside.
I have seen several videos of russian MBTs cooking off after hitting a mine.
But pressure wave and spalling caused by the mine under the hull, can still kill the crew inside if the tank isnt already destroyed.
Sharp charges work with less explosives, but need hit at a specific angle to penetrate the armor.
Probably a great weapon for special forces behind enemy lines as they seem lighter and can cover a whole street with 1 mine.
I realize now I was wrong. I read “100 mm” as a lot of side armor but this is not. Reading, it is enough to defeat side armor on older tanks like Leopard 1, but not newer designs. So this weapon is more likely to disable (mobility kill) but leave a MBT crew alive. Sorry for my mistake (COVID brain just now).
@@richardkudrna7503 I highly doubt that 100mm is correct. The HEAT warhead is similar to the Panzerfaust and designed to penetrate reactive armor. So >600mm penetration is more likely.
@@duffman5z
So we may expect turret launch system engagement?
@@richardkudrna7503 Possibly, but it aims quite low. I dont know if its high enough to cause an ammo cook off.
Looks like the war head of a panzerfaust which it basically is
"Death Rays" they are called today by clickbait media 😏
Excellent mine. Proved very useful for Ukrainians in Vuhledar where they destroyed up to 130 armored vehicles in the defense of Vuhledar.
Pretty interesting design I can see more of these being used instead of man operated rockets
Anyone ,also friendly forces retreating can be caught in these...in the chaos of war frozen areas of retreating troops are usually not a thing....?
I sincerely always wondered why militaries didn't use weapons like this for centuries.. Remotely detonated weapons such as cannon full of shot or tubes with projectiles inside like the one in th evideo. Should have known it's been done by the Germans xD
Ninjas reputedly used rolled paper cannon as a means of discouraging pursuit. Essentially a giant directional firecracker.
I seriously doubt that warhead would only defeat 100mm of RHA. BL755 bomblets are only a couple of inches in diameter and will do a lot more than that. The rough rule of thumb I was given by the designers of the BL755 warhead was that a well designed shaped charge will do about 9 diameters of RHA. So BL would have done something like 18" in ideal conditions. LAW80, also designed by that team, was a 94mm round, so ideally it should have done around 800mm of RHA and the claimed penetration is 700mm. This mine had similar diameter, so should have similar performance.
No exactly, that's the baseline that's confirmed. There's unconfirmed sources that estimate 600 to 1000mm which is likely somewhat accurate.
@@TheArmourersBench Sorry I mistyped the LAW80 penetration, corrected to 700mm.
It's a Panzerfaust-3 warhead fired from max. 40m distance, so yeah, I'm pretty sure it penetrates upwards of 700mm RHA. And since it attacks the side of the vehicle, it should be lethal against most tanks used by the Russians.
@@hisredrighthand5212 Thanks for confirming. Range has virtually no effect on penetration with shaped charges, so long as they reach the target and are initiated at the correct firing standoff, which is governed by the nose fuse. By virtually no effect, I mean maybe there's a mathematically provable difference, but nothing that makes any difference to the tank or APC on the receiving end.
@@cageordie Ah ok, thanks, I didn't know that. Actually on closer inspection, I can't say for sure that the warhead is actually a modified version of the Panzerfaust-3 or just a very similar design, but the DM-22 does have very similar specifications, like identical width of the warhead, the listed armour penetration and the fact that it adds anti-ERA capability, which would be in line with the tandem charge of the Panzerfaust-3.
Bẫy tăng...giật hay nhấn kíp nổ...phòng thủ trận địa...😂😂😂 đào cái ao nó tiết kiệm hơn ...
That looks like a piat warhead in a mine role
Shaped charges for the win!
Yeah, I had the same thought.
War. War never changes...
@@rstainsbury respect for the gratuitous fallout reference 👌
How does the line differentiate between a tank rolling over it and kids on mountain bikes?
Pressure amount I expect. If it didn't fulfil the treaty requirements in thst regard the Germans wouldn't be actively training with them today.
Pressure. The fibre optic line needs 500kg to trigger it (like most antitank mines).
Ukraine just needs a large sponsorship from Rumba so the robot vacuum AT mine can become real
I hope the Ukrainians keep a map of where these things are since like all mines they could cause damage years later after the conflict is over.
No, they turn off after 40 days max. to conform to some International Convention on land mines.
@@hisredrighthand5212 oh that's good
Couldn't you just make the same thing using a prig recoilist rocket launcher a biopod and Modify warhead
Yes! Here's an example czcams.com/video/8nwLzDVdxFw/video.html
I just figured out how to double the range and auto aim. Not everything needs to be known.
I'd say these mines are making a good impression on civilian vehicles as they do not appear to employ any target discrimination capabilities such as weight or size of vehicle
The DM22 has several microphones and is enabled by the sound of a tracked or other heavy vehicle approaching. Afaik the fiber-optic cable is also built to only be triggered by a heavy vehicle.
However I don't think it can distinguish between civilian and military trucks.
@@hisredrighthand5212 why should it? Its a mine when its triggered its the bad guys...

100mm? What if a tank comes by? This would be perfect for defeating vehicles with carousel style autoloaders, but I doubt 100mm is close to enough.
That's the minimum confirmed figure I could find there's very little info on these mines. Other, less reliable sources, suggest penetration of up to 1000mm.
You can be pretty sure that the penetration values are comparable to the PzF 3!
Those mines are used as anti tank mines by the Bundeswehr.
They are in active service today as anti-tank mines. By the Bundeswehr. Today.
You can bet your last Euro that these things can defeat a tank from the side.
@@martialme84 True, but I have to say that I at least ever saw a 22 used just on paper and as examples!
@@alexandervatter1436 We trained with them a little bit in Hammelburg, if memory serves, but only with the inert "Übung" version.
We dont have any other mines to deliver. We dont have any other stuff... For example, our WHOLE airdefense was dumped down for 30 years and cancelled 2012...
whats the point of the stand off rod?
The shaped charge explosion forms a piercing point just in front of the warhead. Search "shaped charge simulation". Often the standoff is not so obvious like the RPG-7
It appears to actually fire the warhead at the target, so the stand off rod works just like a shoulder launched warhead would, detonating the warhead. I believe some off-route mines do no do this and are simply a flat faced EFP that relies on being placed at the correct distance from the target. This model has a lot more lee-way in placement as it's more of a remote launcher than a mine.
Basically shaped charge warheads don't produce the deepest penetration when they go off at point blank range to the armor plate, but need some distance to form the superplastic penetrator jet. As such a lot of HEAT weapons have a stand off detonator, even if it is not always obvious like on the RPG-7 as @Maave pointed out. The Wikipedia article on slat armor even claims that most stand off detonators on HEAT warheads are actually shorter than would be needed for optimal penetration for reasons of compactness and diminishing returns on stand off distance. As such slat armor sometimes gets referred to as "probability armor": In cases where the missile hits the bars with the body of it’s warhead it gets deformed, disrupting the Munroe effect of the shaped charge and thus decreasing penetration greatly. But in cases where the missile hits the bar straight on with its detonator, the stand of range to the actual armor plate is increased and the penetration capability is unaffected or may even increase.
@@MaaveMaave PG-7. The RPG-7 is the launcher, which can also fire the OG-7 HE/frag A/Pers ammunition
It’s a coincidence that RPG can mean ‘rocket propelled grenade’. In the original Russian ‘RPG’ stands for ‘hand-held anti-tank weapon’.
No rocket motor in the RPG-43, for example…
and in what scenario would a stand off have a benefit for a roadside mine?
TLDR it’s because a side ways shooting rpg mine thing kinda like a remote PIAT
Not much in common with the PIAT other than a HEAT style warhead. Thanks for watching!
A claymore for tanks! Womp womp womp!
Kind of looks like a 9M14
A remarkable collection of death metal for the Donbass military and Russian engineers
These things are so old.........and they hit so hard. A lot of mobility kill and even outright destruction of russian MBTs.

Cheap and effective, just knowing your enemy has these stops foolhardy armour charges down roads, meaning you have to expose infantry, to find them, well done Germany.x
Its too bad i havent seen a video simulation of it being used, otherwise i just cant grasp, fathom, nor picture whats it gonna be like when it hits a tank
Well there's a clip of a test fire of one that shows what it looks like in the video. About as close as we'll get I think!
I'd imagine it's essentially a miniaturized handheld launcher and the warhead probably behaves a bit like the Panzerfaust 3's warhead with the long nose section acting as a standoff device, there's the possibility it might also contain a thin but deep shaped charge (again like some of the Panzerfaust 3's HEAT munitions) but I don't have any evidence to back up that speculation
@@CATASTEROID934 It's not a miniaturized, but a bigger warhead than the Panzerfaust 3, on a smaller rocket.
imagine a large scale HEAT Warhead of an RPG being fired and hitting the Target
right now on 9gag there is some drone footage where this mine blows up a russian vehicle trying to run down a street.
What's the legality of using mines in war? Is it ok, so long as they're triggered by a human operator?
Its not a "rule of war", there is a treaty that is "banning" anti-personal mines (mine who primary purpose it is to MAIM/injure) persons (soldiers or civilians alike)
This treaty is binding only to signature nations (russland, USA, China did not sign it btw)
