In one of Val's previous videos on the MON 50, I recall he mentioned that this Russian version of the Claymore actually has an improved fragmentation pattern over its American counterpart. I don't remember the exact figures but the MON 50 is designed to not spread so many fragments in the vertical plane and more in the horizontal plane when compared the the Claymore. He said that the vertical spread of the American directional mine is significantly greater than the MON 50 and that much fragmentation is wasted over the heads of the targets with the American mine.
Happy to see you doing well, thanks for the informational video. Stay safe and please don't get caught in one of these horrible devices you showcase on your channel!
And my Father alltime read me a story from the Brother Grimm. A few пн 50 infront of the door, a nice story from the Brother Grimm . . . . What can go wrong?
Jesus, now you can see why these things take off legs when coming across them in a trench itself. I wonder what other detonation methods there are because tripwire isn't always 100% guarantee, and remote detonation requires observation.
You can make the wire as long as you wish with a МУВ-4 fuse. On the other hand, there is no reason to make it longer than the lethal range is. The book says it's 50 meters but practically, as we can see, it's approximately 20.
Just saw a video where it was used against ukrainian soldiers in a trench, you see it in 1 Frame as they advance and then boom. Interesting to see how it works.
You fired this in the command position using an electric signal, right? But you pulled the arming pin on the fuse beforehand, which would have detonated the mine in 4 and a half minutes anyway. Was this necessary or would the mine have functioned via command wire regardless of the arming pin being pulled?
the mine has 2 fuze wells. I think he was using a shock tube for the command side, not electric. For the other fuze well, it looked like he had it set up for a trip wire. The pin he pulled is a safety mechanism for arming the trip wire fuze. After the 4.5 minutes the trip wire fuze will arm which gives the user time to get to a safe location. Yes the way he had them set up meant that they two methods were independent of each other so he didnt need to wait for the trip wire to arm to use the command side.
