Armtrac 400
buried
mines
Far from the front, demining vehicles with rotating tillers or flails detonate
the mines, though they often cannot reach mines that are buried too deep.
B
Soldiers detect mines with metal detectors or rods
before manually defusing them.
C
Cluster of explosives on
a line attached to a rocket.
UR-77
Clearance systems fire a line covered with clusters of explosives into the minefield.
The explosions trigger the detonation of buried mines.
Pressure of 150 kg or more triggers
the detonation of TM-62 mines.
Both Russia and Ukraine commonly use TM-62 mines,
most often to target armored vehicles.
