Ukrainian drones are dumped on the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Anti -tank mines with a secret: how they work (video)

The mines that dump Ukrainian drones carry up to 7. 5 kg of explosives. They usually work immediately after dumping, or after a minimum time. Ukrainian large drones, which Russian invaders call "Baba Yaga", dump anti -tank mines on them. About it reports the Russian Telegram-channel "One foot here, the other there!". Photos and videos can see mines of round shape on the ground that have not broken. According to the source, these are Mines TM-62M and TM-62P3.

These are different ammunition found in different places, which can indicate their mass use. It is also obvious that a relatively large number of mines did not break. The mines were allegedly dropped from large drones with the conditional name "Baba Yaga".

With regard to the way of their blasting, the source states that it was to take place in a firing way: the electric hammer had to light the trigger, and the time of operation of the mechanism was designed from the speed and the maximum height of the discharge. Therefore, some of the mines did not work during the impact, but in a few seconds. The flames initiates the undermining of the KD-8A intermediate charge, which undermines the mine itself.

In the video, the Russians are preparing to blow up one of the unreasonable mines remotely, but the moment of the explosion is not shown. According to Wikipedia, TM-62 is Soviet anti-tank mines that represent a family of ammunition with different characteristics. They differ in explosive-weight characteristics, materials and shape. The main model is TM-62m. The TM-62M mine has a metal round body and is the most common of the family, as well as the most powerful of Soviet anti-tank mines.

It weighs 9. 5-10 kg and is filled with 7. 0–7. 5 kg of explosive. The diameter of a round mine is 320 mm. The original mine has no self -liquidation and responds to contact. Interestingly, in addition to land, mechanical or manual, there is a helicopter system of MIND-2. A mine can also work from water. Mines were actively used for normal mines by Russian invaders in Ukraine. The housing of the TM-62P3 mine is made of polyethylene, it weighs 8. 0-8. 7 kg, carries 6. 5-7.

2 explosives and also has a diameter of 320 mm. Its peculiarity is the lack of disposal and inability to detect minimers. The use is similar to TM-62m. The Soviet Cap with a ninetor 8 (KD-8A) is intended for initiation of many explosives. Made in the form of a cylindrical sleeve open from one end and sealed on the other. Inside has a cup with an initiative charge and 1 kg of explosives.

Its blast can happen through the flame of the capsule of the engineering mines, firing output from the fire cord, electric fire molder or detonation from the impact. Recall that recently the Russians reported a new modification of Baba Yaga drone, which carries large mines and has pipes for accurate charge. In the photos provided, you can see the dropped drone, probably quadcopter. You can see the screws and the fact that are probably the same pipes for the discharge of mines.
