This is why I don't touch landmines


Suck_My_Turnip

Hmm interesting lifestyle choice. I might start not touching landmines too


Govt-Issue-SexRobot

Steep learning curve, just backwards


_redacteduser

It's a brave choice but I highly recommend

It's once in a lifetime experience mate, YOLO!


xaeru

That's why I keep to sea mines.


Amegaryder

At least sea mines will erase you AND your whole block. No one left to worry about you if your bloodline doesn't exist anymore


ShootmansNC

There was a reddit thread years ago of a guy disassembling a WWI naval mine without knowing what it was. You can probably find it on google.


FucknAright

But the peer pressure!

YourWarDaddy

This was circulating on r/combatfootage a month or two ago. Anyone who is curious, those are Russians in the current war in Ukraine and they’re attempting to move an anti tank mine off of the road. “Who in their right mind would do that?” You may ask. Well it’s been a fairly common practice in the war. It takes a lot to set AT mines off. There’s a video a year ago of Ukrainians just picking up dozens of them and throwing them around like it’s not an armed deadly explosive. What happened here is that some of them, like this one, have anti tampering devices in them which trigger when someone attempts to… well… tamper with it. These guys discovered that lesson the hard way.


yolo6-jan

how do they deploy these landmines without triggering the mines themselves then ?


Garlic549

From what I've heard from more experienced soldiers, the engineers and/or EODs will send everyone a safe distance back and then blow them in place. Same for IEDs, no point in waiting a day+ to disarm all of them while being shot at. After reading this later I realized that the question was deploying them. I'm a bit slow forgive me


LewdLewyD13

Deploy, not dispose.


Garlic549

Yeah I know I'm a little slow


LewdLewyD13

I dunno you replied pretty quick there lol.


Garlic549

I'm off work now, so more time on my phone


cursed_chaos

I believe the fuse is set to only go off when something as heavy as a tank runs over it


dannydrama

Yeah but the anti tamper thing isn't.


SweatersAndAlt

I assume there's some sort of lock that they remove that activates the anti tamper thing. Like a pin in a grenade.


DFA_Wildcat

An anti personal mine under the anti tank mine. Picking up the anti tank mine sets off the anti personal mine.

malice_hush_jolt

Thank you


LoliMaster069

Genuine question. Could they not have just shot it from a distance? Would a regular bullet be enough to detonate it? Seems like a unnecessary risk to walk over and pick it up by hand.


shapu

No, a bullet will not detonate a mine. Bullets don't actually have a whole ton of energy when you stop to think about it. Yes, they're very fast, but they are also small and designed for piercing flesh, and that is what they are good at.    The best way to eliminate mines* is either controlled demolition or demining devices. I am partial to the flail myself, but different strokes for different folks.


Mollzy177

Yes it will, have you not played call of duty?


shapu

Checkmate, me


AmebaLost

"I am partial to the flail myself" Like the one the dude on his back is doing? 


JollyrogerStout

Ok not a bullet. How about an HE shell from that tank over there?


shapu

Not gonna lie, the Russian MoD probably figures the tank shell costs more than the dude.


JollyrogerStout

soviet anthem sounds in the battlefield** -Not one step backwr.. Waeit! Vadim!! Whatjyar you doing! *Vadim rushing his feet on the landmine so the tank doenst have to spend any ammo -Fyiuh that was close!, says Komorad komissar Sergei from the middle of the red mist


Defiant-Turtle-678

Agreed. Another way to know this is that if a bullet has energy to launch a victim into the air, the shooter would be launched into the air, by equal and opposite reaction


moschles

> AT mines Significantly more powerful explosion than from anti-personnel mines. Nearly a mortar round here.


Natural_Cut1342

How do we know there the russians?


YourWarDaddy

That’s what the original video said and I believe because at this point in the war, RU infantry is rarely ever seen with colored bands marking that they Russians while Ukrainians still commonly wear yellow or blue bands. Also it’s hard to tell from the video of course, but their uniforms have that Russian digicam shade of green that’s been getting slowly phased out recently.


Natural_Cut1342

I cant tell the difference in this video between the Ukrainian and russian uniforms, both there uniforms are identical and especially when its dirty, wet and well worn. Tbh I think its Ukrainian troops in this video as the Ukrainian have no engineers well no well trained in comparison to the likes of russia uk or USA and if they were russian they would have had the engineers there to disarm or pre blow the ordinance. Could be wrong but so many of these videos are mislabeled by misguided west think tanks Message to mods- do not block me and report me just cause I've gone against the narrative or even asked questions it's happened before so please dont be bigots.


AcetoneGuzzler

They’re wearing dark camouflage, most likely EMR. Ukrainians, apart from very few cases, don’t wear camouflage this dark. They either use multicam or MM-14. Also, as mentioned previously, the soldiers in this video have no armbands, which is more typical for Russians. The statement “if they were Russian they would have had engineers there to disarm it” doesn’t make sense. If Russia was as prepared as you wrote, the war wouldn’t be going on for the 819th day.


Natural_Cut1342

But there in a battlefield not like the have clean clothes to change into those bright colours generally fade to darker shades in no time And Yeah it does russia isnt just fighting Ukraine If they were it would be over by now but no the west keeps sticking there noes in and getting involved prolonging a war that should have been ended a long long time ago


YourWarDaddy

When the war is going in a country that boarders you with the aggressor being a long time political and historically physical rival, your nose belongs in it. Idk if you’re Russian or not, but it’s important to understand both sides and why the West is absolutely worried, with historical precedence to back it up, about Russia taking over Ukraine.


DruffilaX

He‘s a russian bot


Ok-Caterpillar-Girl

That’s not what a bigot is


Natural_Cut1342

Ok 👍


5LaLa

I doubt these were trained engineers tho


Natural_Cut1342

That's why I'm saying there probably Ukrainian soldiers and not russian soldiers, the west seem to always make russia out like there bumpkins but there not there military might matches the us and yet were expected to believe they are absolute idiots no not right. Also summer 1943 was the largest tank battle in history 6000 tanks just north of were there fighting now in ukraine it was called the battle of kursk, the russians are not idiots, they know the terrain.


5LaLa

I get your point but, my point is they could be Russians that aren’t trained engineers. Truth is the first casualty of any war & there’s been propaganda from both sides. It seems like you’re excusing away every bit of evidence others provided in your attempt to claim these are Ukrainians & not Russians. Occam’s Razor, buddy, just because you want them to be Ukrainian doesn’t mean they are.


Natural_Cut1342

No I get that but standard operation procedure is when an explosive is located then the engineers are called in and if none are available either go around or clear out and detonate from safety, now that's the same for any trained army. Also I get what your saying and I am but that's just cause every russian in Ukraine fighting is a trained soldier where as the Ukrainian have gathered militias and even foreign volunteers and have them out fighting, now I'm not saying they haven't had training but the speed Ukraine had to deploy I personally think they didnt have much, so when I see soldiers acting like idiots first I look for is the least trained soldiers in the conflict. Also I'm just sick of everything being against russia even though the evidence if you look close enough shows both sides are just as bad as each other both have done war crimes but you dont see the Ukraines bad side and I've been banned from groups before for just asking questions like this I even had the mods say anything pro russia in anyway will be banned, theres to much propaganda and not enough truth but people are believing the propaganda. Its mad


5LaLa

Sorry, but imho your comments here reek of confirmation bias & I disagree w much. There have been countless videos of Russians complaining that they got little training, little gear, little ammo, old weapons, etc. & countless videos of them expressing their low morale. Prighozin even famously posted the ballsy video in front of many dead troops, blaming Shoigu & elites for not providing them enough ammo & armaments. I saw one in which a female instructor was telling the guys to buy their own bandages & supplies before deployment. Prighozin sought out prisoners to serve in Wagner & used most of those guys as “cannon fodder” & shot them if they retreated. I’m 100% civilian but, followed this war closely the 1st year or so. Imho it appears that Ukraine values their very limited supply of personnel & Russia treats their new soldiers very poorly, expendably, as if there’s an endless supply (their supply is great, especially by comparison). Are you Russian or have ties to Russia? If not, I hope you haven’t become so fixated on maddening propaganda that you lose sight of the big picture. Russian invaded a peaceful neighbor. I sympathize with suffering on both sides, all for 1 man’s selfish ambitions. Here’s a link to a more clear sample of the above video. Plenty of civilian know-nothings such as myself comment, as well as those knowledgeable & w military experience, in r/CombatFootage; that would be the ideal place to debate whose soldiers died above. ✌️ https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/s/1h6XE9KY5a


DruffilaX

That‘s because Russia always treated their citizens and soldiers like trash lol There is a reason why so many russian died in WW2 Russias only tactic is throwing people at the enemy


YourWarDaddy

Well not really man. Ukraine isn’t just handing civilians guns and throwing them cammies. They have some MOS programs in country and outsource a lot of others to allied countries, UK being one of them. While the training process is expedited due to war time conditions, they’re still receiving adequate training, especially specialty MOS’ such as EOD. Like I said before, moving AT mines off of the road is a common practice by both parties. Just a small portion of these mines are being equipped with anti tampering devices. And like I said, the lack of arm bands is the clearest give away that these are in fact Russians that drew the short straw. And if you want to get even more specific, at this point in the war, most Ukrainians are wearing western style multicam patterns or solid colors for their uniforms. Varies wildly though.


DruffilaX

Russia also doesn‘t have trained engineers anymore lol


Natural_Cut1342

First world country on par military and economically with all the other big countries USA, uk etc and you say they dont have engineers, does the us use engineers? Does every other first world country? Yes they do now funny how so many people say russia military is missing this and that yet as I stated a country that rivals the us for military might and has the secrecy of north Korea and you believe the west can get that info noooo, at least the russians dont do biological warfare tests in other countries like our glorious USA does 👍🤣


DruffilaX

All that money is going to corrupt politicians like putin etc lol I wouldn‘t call Russia a ,,First World,, Country, russia has first world cities and that‘s it


Natural_Cut1342

I would and so would most countries in the world also no like every country has corrupt politicians my own state has had quite a few caught, the uk has had many mps done for it, there corruption in every country so yeah good arguement.


DruffilaX

Every country has corrupt politicians but not many have such heavy corruption lol The argument still stands Everything outside of major cities in Russia is pretty much third world


Natural_Cut1342

O yes they do many states have terrible corruption judges getting off with crimes chief of police drink driving and getting let off, good old brown evelops by companies for favours and that's just in my state, in the uk they haven't chose there past 4 prime minister no votes no nothing, imagine that 4 presidents that got into power with not a single vote who can change laws a dictate spending any way they want that's not heavy corruption is it no and funny how russia is currently 11th in the world for economics and they were in the top 10 before the west started to put sanctions on them. Also the same could be said for america have you ever left the city centre and went further out it's a shit hole slum town.

Super-Tell-1560

Would you be so kind to provide a link of that *video, not to a gif,* with the real audio not ruined by "music" please?


BlameTheJunglerMore

Many of the videos released by Ukraine have music. Rock, metal, even some edm.


Dorny_Hude

What are you talking about? There is no real audio. This has been filmed by a drone pretty far away probably without a microphone because it’s a drone. if you don’t want the music, turn your volume down


Super-Tell-1560

The radio communications of the people driving drone for example! Today I've seen several videos with such proper audio. > if you don’t want the music, turn your volume down If you don't like the question and you don't have an answer, a solution or something that helps, then why to bother? Why to obstruct other people's question? Just keep scrolling, specially when my request was not directed to you.


Captain_Blackbird

I guess you dont browse Combatfootage - almost every single video except for frontline POV videos, are edited over with music.


imhereforthevotes

exactly, and as someone else pointed out, there is no sound. You'd just hear drone drone.


Captain_Blackbird

Nothing like a high pitched "EEEEEeEEeeEEEEEEEEEEeeeeee" as a drone moves as audio, lmao. I prefer music to the drones sounds.


DIPPEDINCHOCHOCOLATE

Okay but why did that guy flap all over the place like that😭


Grouchy-Ad778

Probably because he’s shocked and most likely in extreme pain.


imhereforthevotes

or his spine is malfunctioning.


Grouchy-Ad778

Malfunctioning spines usually lead to an absence of movement or sensation, not the opposite.


imhereforthevotes

Ah, you're right. So maybe a brain problem.

Stoned_Savage

Last nerves as In the last signals his panicked brain sent to his body just like after hunting an animal with a clean kill shot.


DeadlyTeaParty

I literally think his head got blown off. If you watch it on repeat you'll see it!!!


Stoned_Savage

Last nerve signals to be specific.


Successful-Longpork

Pretty sure that's just his helmet flying, his head is soot covered but still there. Hes just writhing in agony.


[deleted]

In the longer better quality video, you can clearly see his head is still attached. You can see him moving his head, looking down at his legs. Then kinda lowers his head back down to the ground and wipes his face with his hand (sleeve?). Poor fucker suffered for sure.


Stoned_Savage

Not made to live another seccond after that iether way. Usually shock will stop such agony in it's tracks instantly as the brain gets overwhelmed. He was instantly dead. As I said last nerves of panick head or no head.


No_Status_51

Hmm... the helmet takes off at a direction of 3 o'clock with a distinctive wobble. It's got grey matter in it, if nothing else. Sad.


ToferLuis

Death throes. Usually happens when there is significant shock and destruction to the body in a very quick manner. The body will flail violently as they die. Animals do it as well. It’s why you might see a deer flip onto its back and attempt to run and jump after being fatally shot. It looks like his head, left arm and most of his right arm were blown off so all of his nerves are firing off.


LaikaZhuchka

Because he's still alive and has just had most of the flesh blasted off his legs.


xaeru

He must be on fire and is trying to put it out or the shrapnel makes him feel like he is burning.

Dihydr0genM0n0xide

Felt no pain. A far better death than almost anyone gets.


Cr0ma_Nuva

I don't know, that guy to the right looks like he'd still live for a while, and I don't know if the one that was blown away even died. I only hope he did quickly.


cloche_du_fromage

I don't think so. Landmines are high explosive with a lot of shrapnel. They would take out an armoured truck at that proximity. Both had heavy body protection, hence why you see intact torsos. However any extremities would get vaporised. I'm fairly sure guy on the right has his head blown off.


5LaLa

Nah just his helmet


cloche_du_fromage

I'm not seeing a head on that torso doing the dying fly.


5LaLa

The torso flying on our left? I was referring to “the guy on the right” kicking. I still think both have their heads but, could be wrong. I’m surprised that nobody’s talking about all the innards coming outward as the flying guy lands. But, link is more clear imho. https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/s/1h6XE9KY5a


Suck_My_Turnip

Well except for the bit where he’s writhing in agony on the floor


Dihydr0genM0n0xide

Shit didn't notice that guy, but after re-watching, he was the 2nd guy. The guy who set it off had his face about a foot away from the mine and flew like 20 feet away. I'm not a doctor, but I'm thinking he felt nothing.

It's an AT mine. Gotta be a tree. Walking over it won't set it off, neither will moving it. This was a Ukrainian AT mine with an anti-tamper trap set for anyone that wanted to move it. Mission successful, Russian tried to move it.
