>POM-3 mine is activated by a seismic sensor forced into the ground. The sensor detects approaching footsteps and activates the mine if it determines that a person is within lethal range (about 16 meters). Upon activation, a fragmentation charge is ejected into the air and explodes.[1][2] The mine has a self-destruct fuze that detonates the mine 8 or 24 hours after deployment.[1]
How would you even go about deactivating that?
wait 24 hours
I was going to say exactly the same. What fricking useless tech lmao. Mines are supposed to stay forever. Area denial is the whole point, not temporary inconvenience.
temporary area denial can be really useful if you need to use the area afterwards
So its useless for the russians
they will drop the hammer in 2 weeks, vatniks in control trust the plan
Z out
>You won the war everything is still mineed
Great move tard
People were still being killed by mines from the Vietnam War even after the war ended. Demining a mine field can be very expensive or arduous for many nations.
The dark irony is that quadcopter drones that drop explosives are used for demining mine fields in times of peace
Using explosive weapons to disable explosive weapons is also a tactic used by SWAT and in the GWOT
Every mine dispensed with artillery or plane have that feature, beacuse you can't be certain about minefields size. Manually installed mines don't need this, beacuse these minefields can and should be mapped.
first post best post
Make decoys imitating footsteps? Drive past them? Wait for them to self-destroy?
shoot it a few times
>How would you even go about deactivating that?
what do you think POW's are for?
If Ukraine didn't have to keep a clean image for the West, they would have done that a long time ago.
they sure are keeping a clean image, every second c**t having a swastika tattoo and whatnot
That's the neat part, normies don't care about that, only the ultra libtard crowd on twitter really cares (and they mostly support Russia anyways). Even the krauts seem to turn a blind eye.
What's wrong with having a swastika tattoo(besides tattoos being degenerate)? It's been a very popular symbol for almost a century.
dig a trench
toss rocks at it
>within lethal range (about 16 meters).
So just get a little offroad rc car and go buckwild in the minefield lol
I doubt the sensor would register a small toy that is weighing what, a pound? as seismic activity
A quadcopter dropping a brick? I'm sure a robot solution can be used, in fact this will probably be more common in the future than an entire robotized military
>dropping 83,333 bricks over a 1km2 stretch of field via drone
wow!
Stomp-walk towards it. These mines are not dangerous at all (feels like a short burst from sandblaster).
Dodge the shrapnel.
Imagine the fireworks, just driving through a road with a tank explodes this things in a 10 km radius
What a shitty design idea
Riot shield.
Fragments are going to have far less energy than a bullet anyway.
Ukraine signed the anti-mine treaty (as with all other civilized nations) but Russia didn't. Has that put Ukraine at a major disadvantage? Certainly it means Ukraine isn't as able to get mine from its allies (since they similarly forswore antipersonelle mines)
>Has that put Ukraine at a major disadvantage?
No, because it lied about destroying the stockpiles and proceeded to use them in violation of the convention.
>(since they similarly forswore antipersonelle mines)
US didn't.
US isn't an ottawa signatory, but last I checked, domestic policy still restricts AP mines to korea.
Claymores mines aren't mines by policy.
MREs are also not AP mines. replying to anon's question about comparative advantage with AP mines by saying ukraine's allies didn't ban them and then talking about MREs instead would be disingenuous and odd.
Not exactly.
The treaty only allows their use in remote detonation mode. Using tripwires is explicitly prohibited.
>How would you even go about deactivating that?
Throw a rock near it, or approach with a shield
How do you know it's there? Even light camouflage would make them difficult to spot, esp if they have a kill radius of 16m
bigger bomb
That is crappy design. This is best mine ever developed. Something Russians are actually afraid of
what's this?
Finnish anti-personnel mine, idea is not to kill, but to tear the leg off. These can be spread in multiple ways like using artillery. If Ukraine used these they are fricked when taking more and more areas previously controlled by Russians. These will never expire. Decades after this war people are still going to die, because of these
How is this different from any other artillery-dispensed AP mines, and why do you think the lack of self-disarming mechanism is a good thing?
So basically a bigger toe popper without self destruct? Sounds like a shit idea unless you're Finland mining the soviet border.
Or the Russian border in Ukraine
Unfortunately Finland got rid of their anti-personnel mines a long time ago when they joined the Ottawa Treaty.
They stopped using them, but didn't destroy the stockpiles. There are no rules or treaties in war
Assuming the self destruct mechanism was disabled (because otherwise you’d just wait), release a shitload of unimportant animals into the area and let em run around until all the mines have been set off
>lethal range (about 16 meters)
I would hit it with a 17 meter stick
these mines along with another soviet seismic mine can tell the difference between bipedal and quadrupedal gait and only pop for bipedal. The Ghurkas figured it out and deal with these mines on horseback.
t. ex sapper
Just an idea, would something like this work? It would be enough to cover the area, I'm just not sure if it detonated from a large pressure reading it a consistent pressure reading. Downside of course is anti-air assets
They've had that idea for a while, pretty sure it was capable of dropping bomblets or mines of the antitank or antipersonnel flavor
>Mine
>Lethal
Fricking useless. You just want to maim the enemy to tie up resources when using area of denial weaponry.
>Russia
>caring about the wounded
Still harder to step over when they are clawing up at you all bloody and crying.
>How would you even go about deactivating that?
shoot into the mined area
>The Russian clone of an American mine
If i remember right, the one on the left lower corner is one of those. I remember it felt super expensive, like leaving a laptop out in the forest.
Wow. No shit looks like clone of WAM (Hornet) program. Super low grade tho from the looks of it.
russian m93 hornet clone is this thing

Desist namegayging, attention prostitute.
If you can see it: Shoot it obviously. Even hitting the ground next to it should trigger it easily considering it's (alleged) range.
If you can't see it, then either wait it out or as others suggested: Frick with them with drones.
Bonus points for picking up the mine and placing it in enemy territory.
>that a person is within lethal range (about 16 meters)
>about 16 meters
>How would you even go about deactivating that?
>America: achieve air superiority then send in engineers
>Ukraine: Send in more Bradleys then send in more goyimobiks if you start to run out
>Russia: send in more T72s then more mobiks
Activate Bass Boost on my classic Sony Boombox, press play on my mixtape and detonate all mines within four city blocks.
Are there drone miners yet?
I'm sure drones flying 24/7 can lay down a gigantic mine field very quickly.
