Implications?
>Immediately after the sun sets below the horizon, there is 30-60 minutes to see the mines with the help of a drone with a thermal.
It is necessary to fly at an altitude of 60-70 m, but mines are visible even in the grass. MES, PM, TM, etc
Not the third line on defence...
what a waste of mines what the frick
Can they even be placed so close without causing a chain de-mining by hitting any single one of them?
And a different topic - why arent flame throwers used for demining? The spray can go far, is fast, cheap, wrecks havoc on thermals and messes up any other fortifications and disguises.
Might be even more interesting with current use of drones. Just drop strap a gallon bottle and piss all over mine fields. Then a cig.
>so close
I think your perspective is off, the drone is flying pretty high
You homosexuals and your flame throwers, they're never coming back to the battlefield so shut the frick up about them already.

>why arent flame throwers used for demining?
Demining is actually really hard. Mines are designed to blow up when you step on them or drive on them, but equally important they are designed not to blow up when anything else happens.
mine clearing charge launcher go brrrrr
It'll certainly make the eventual cleanup easier.
what kind of sloppy ass job is this?
aren't they supposed to be buried and camouflaged, for which they had plenty of time to do properly?
even buried mines will cause the ground above to be slightly heated up at night
with a sensitive enough thermal you could see this
or lidar
ive been saying this in the other thread but some dipsticks didnt believe me
-t roofing drone thermal operator
wtf does lidar have to do with heat, moron?
So Metal Gear Solid was right!
>gifs you can hear
I want to go back to 2006.
The coward edited that out of the video on his channel a few years ago
did it say "homie" or something?
Yeah, here's a reupload from another channel.
It happens at 5:44. He cut out "homie" and just left "damn right".
The mine Black folk glow in the dusk, you can see them if you're driving. You just run them over, that's what you do
i miss that homie like you wouldn't believe
What is causing this? Just a weird reflection?
Angle of incidence. More reflective at that angle
the post says just after sunset and using thermals
my guess is that the mines are noticeably warmer than the surroundings after being in the sunlight all day
Makes sense, I guess the pictures not looking like a traditional thermal display threw me off.
Mines have mor density the cold down slower than soil.
Also google tank plinking.
metal cools more slowly than the surrounding grass/earth
Then why is metal cool when I touch it, moron? Stop making up shit
>metal cools more slowly than the surrounding grass/earth
wat?
>Metal has a lower specific heat than Earth
FTFY
Yes, anon. They're supposed to be buried. There are also patterns in which you're supposed to lay mines depending on the objective (defensive, long-term minefield, etc.). You also leave a divot in the earth above the mine so when the soil saturates with water or freezes, it swells back to its normal, flat shape instead of bulging out of the ground

>Flamethrowers for demining
Wat
(AI) drone mine cleaners, when? DARPA, hello?
Isn't there some kind of wide area napalm strike that could set mines off? Just toast and obliterate the defensive line.
thermobarics can be used for mine clearing, depends on the fusing
Just burn it all. Burn the the whole line between the Ukrainian and Russian lines. Why don't people burn more things in war.

Modern explosives are pretty insensitive, but that's what a mine clearing charge does which pretty much a tube of HE that you shoot into the field and detonate to clear a path.
>Modern explosives are pretty insensitive,
This is problematic.
which still create a small canal which defenders can focus on with concentrated fire. Solution is needed that will sledgehammer entire fields at once. Napalm might burn it but also sets everything on fire so good luck advancing through that
>Solution is needed that will sledgehammer entire fields at once.
Finally, an excuse for picrel.
>but that's what a mine clearing charge does
I thought it aimed to disturb the mine enough to trigger it rather than cause a sympathetic detonation?
>Modern explosives are pretty insensitive
This works well for ERA, they're practically impossible to set off except with an actual hit from a HEAT warhead.
>metal cools more slowly
A) no, it mostly cools faster, though it depends on the metal
B) mines aren't metal, or they're very low metal content
Metal in mines can be detected too easily so most mines made in the last 70 years or so are either no-metal or low-metal.
>why arent flame throwers used for demining?
What do you think a flame thrower will do to a mine?
Wait they aren't burying them?
At least some of them right? As a distraction to funnel armor into the real buried ones and killzones.
sun heats grounds, grass and metal mines, different cooling time, that's why you can see mines in thermo in short time periods
neat
the counter offensive is over the ukies can't cross a row of mines
That's pretty kino
Jesus frick that's a lot of mines!!
The govt doesn't want you to know this, but they're free if you can disarm them.
this is not professional way to lay a minefield....
>all the people itt that don't know that metal holds heat

don't skip classes next semester
>ctrl f paint
*sigh*
That's pretty cool tbh.
Mines need thermal camo.

Now if only we had a way to combine these cameras with a computer system. And maybe mount the cameras on high flying UAVs. Or satellites.
Also, why do you homosexuals post this here? This isn't the war thunder forums where we go to post classified info.
If they're so easy to detect, why did teh Ukies drive all these shiny western vehicels into minefields?
Or is that what teh Ukies meant when tehy said there were communications breakdown and tactical mistakes?
Also, kek. With their arty ammo blown up by stom shadow and now the mine obstacles being so visible, the Russian defense lines are fricked.
Why weren't Piggers doing that before wasting Leos?
