Now that was a fascinating and detailed demonstration. To the non-Ukrainian, your accent is also very calming to listen to. God Bless you and be as safe as you can.
The infamous "Bouncing Bettey" invented by the Germans during WWII. First encountered by American and British troops in the Italian campaign in 1943. Very nasty surprise... Keep safe Brother...
Used a long stick with a light fabric ribbon attached on the end. When you moving in a heavy vegetation and forested area, there is a big chance to not see a wire. So that ribon is helpful to detect it.
Thank you. 3:37 -- just don't try that with a MUV-1, that would end badly. The older MUVs with lead strip delays are unpredictable as to arming time re: temperature, age of the fuze etc., MUV-1 has no delay element whatsoever.
S-Mine was a source for informatoin for this kind of soviet mine, as a many part of Soviet equipment, its just a "improvement" copy of Grerman WWII equipment
Omg I didn't expect to see the actual explosion! And you even placed targets to show the shrapnel range. So cool! Ps. I'm gonna steal your intro, it's just a good reaction image 😂
That was amazing how you explained everything , if possible can you show us other anti personal mines ? Thank you for all you and your guys do over there ! We pray for victory and your safety everyday ! ❤
These are great training videos!! Please keep it up. The way thing's are going in the world, I don't think it'll be long before more countries are at war, not just in Europe.
We call these "bouncing betties". I've also heard the term "bouncing baby". Very unpleasant. Often they would castrate survivors. This made them even more feared.
It would be ideal to be able to leave something behind to keep the enemy near the mine if you have to trigger the timer......handful of coins tossed near by or something
so interesting how particular your english vocabulary is. You must have been very good before, but perhaps interacting with native english speakers in a military environment shaped it to be able to describe things with such detail? or maybe im just an assuming american lol
Im thinking we need cheap plentiful tracked rc car type drones to drive ahead of the men to detonate any land mines or tripwires. Out of everything in war mines seem the most scary 😢
You are potentially saving future fighters with these videos. Very useful and well made. Thank you. That mine is no joke. It threw shrapnel much farther than expected. These must be horribly devestating. May god be with you.
It might actually be nice to use a ferrous material when placing mines. Most modern land mines have reduced metal construction to prevent them from being detected by adversaries, but when it comes to cleaning up after the conflict these explosives pose extra danger for EOD personnel.
Man, could you please show how to detect the mine (and the other mines) and eventually safely disengage from the area it is covering without setting it off, with an emphasis and how not to set it off... maybe how to mark it with improvised techniques using basic tools in the field, so that any civillian can safely notice and stay away How each fuse activation mechanism works and how to watch out for it to make sure that in the end it is not activated How to safely block, disarm or disengage the mechanism intended for fuse activation, so that the mine poses lesser threat than intended (wherever it's possible, because we all know that in cases of some mines it's not the best idea to even try) And maybe in the end, how to fuck up the mine itself like a true engineer/sapper - whenever it is possible by means other than blowing it up safely. This could save a lot of... lives And your tutorials would become valuable educational assets for any after-the-war efforts of cleaning up so that the kids actually playing in the forests instead of their phones don't actually die in the future. Imagine additional audiences from youth and teachers all over the war-torn world, where old shit like that is still laying around and posing threat for decades already.
I would like to see all of these, but the sources are scarce. Apart of old soviet manuals, I know only two youtube channels you can learn something about the subject, but both of them are in ukrainian. As to Mr. Valgear, don't expect too much from him. He is not an officer and I suppose that his knowledge about explosive devices is limited.
Nope. The large safety pin activates the detonator. It is delay armed, so it means that after removing the safety pin it'll be armed in approximately four minutes. Detonators of the MUV seria designed for tripwire initiation, so it means when it's armed it goes off after the small pin is pulled out.
