New rare mines in Ukraine. >German DM22 off-route mines (already spotted a few months ago)
This is very useful materiel, but it's depressing to think about the sheer amount of UXO that will be sitting in Ukraine for the next 50 years.
Deploy MICLECs en masse and get free soil tilling.
The smart ones should deactivate themselves after about a month if they don't explode.
The dumb ones though...
Russia is dropping that much out dated artillery on the country its fricked no matter what you do.
Don’t worry they will be sitting in Russian land for the next 50 years when this war is over.
And trillions dollars to rebuild war destruction.
Monke are genius!

Thats 20 more years of job security.
All the big demining organisations are already setting up in Kiyyv
Ready to get a slice of those US Marshall Plan Mk2 pallets of aid-money
Better than aid projects in african shitholes with no cold Pivos and hot slav blondies.
>off-routes are supposed to 'neutralize' their fuzes but thats still a shaped block of HE and cone pointing across a road somewhere at random
And all it needs is a roadside grassfire or a bit of broken glass magnifying the sun like on an ants nest...and guaranteed some farmer will be driving past in his Lada at exactly the wrong moment.
Do You want me to believe, a octol/plastic in UXO will be detonated by a mere fire?
Octol burns to detonation, and a plastic case won't stop that - thats why theyre HD 1.1 in storage not HD1.6N.
Storage HDs are primarily determined by reaction to the fire test.
What is 'burn-to-detonation'?
If shit's on fire, run.
Some explosives like C-4 just burn really hot unless you shock them. Others can go high-order if they're just set on fire, like a giant pile of ammonium nitrate (see: Beirut).
Hey dickhead, go throw this DM22 in the campfire, it'll be fun.
So..... does this mean no Metal Detecting in Ukraine when the war is over?
No, there will be years of metal-detecting.
We will just have to keep getting fresh detectorists.
Ban evading already serbBlack person?
Surely the Russians will mark their ordnance for later clearance, right? Right?!
Russian artillery and cluster missiles are dropping more unexploded ordnance per hour than you'll get from all mines Ukraine receives as aid.
And this doesn't count all the mine spam Russians did around Kiev and Mariupol.
tourist who has never handled and AT mine posted this
Neither had those men
Be a good sport and share some of rules of handling explosive ordinance, transport, and why mines like the ones in that webm aren't a problem to be shipped that way.
I'll wait.
>*ordnance
You're right about the other points, sorry but it's just my pet hate.
It's all good. I'm phone posting with autocorrect. Ordnance ordinance is important.
>The HPD-2 is a development of the HPD-1 mine. It incorporates a series of enhancements to both the warhead and fuzing mechanism. The mine's warhead is said to be a "second generation" Misznay Schardin effect design capable of penetrating up to 150 millimeters of armour. In addition it can be laid in up to one and half meters of water.
Devilish
>The mine arms itself after an initial delay of ten minutes and self-neutralizes after 30 days. It also incorporates an anti-handling device, which is sensitive to motion and the signals produced by mine detectors.
VERY devilish
>As of 2006, approximately 400,000 HPD-2 series mines have been ordered. The mine is in service with the French Army, and is sold to the Belgian and Norwegian armed forces. It is in licence production in Switzerland for the Swiss Army as Panzerabwehrmine 88 (Pzaw Mi 88).
>can be laid in 1.5 meters of water
Pontooners beware
even if there’s no chance of them going off it’s still funny watching them spill out like that
30 days seems like a short time period.
In the planned Euro WW3 it would all be over in 30 days, either the Guards Tank Divisions were at the Channel or we had gone to Tac Nukes and the initial german and french border minefields would be irrelevent by then.
>if the war was a stalemate, after the 30days you could pick them back up, send them back to the factories to get refurbished, deploy them again at the new Frontline.
>New
Eh, no. Germanbros delivered huge amount of weapons suited for partisans back in March. Credit where it's due.

Mines are fricking cool. Huge explosive charges, clever sneaky employment.
>Why isn't Germany helping Ukraine?
It is.
