it's not even the first time it's caught on video, it's their design, you'd guess they'll know how to deal with it, but no

expected demining of this one is supposed to be done with heavy machine gun fire from far away, because there's explicitly no safe way to even approach this thing

That seemed like a small explosion for an anti tank mine, no? Also, should it really have gone off on infantry?

Here's a video with the same mine going off on infantry. They are dropped by drones on to roads and Russian positions.

NSFW

Yeah the explosion looks bigger there. Is there a reason they're so sensitive? My understanding with anti tank mines is they should intentionally ignore infantry in order to focus on damaging tanks and vehicles. Or is this just the cheapest/easiest way to make anti tank mines in this war? Make mines strong enough to destroy a tank and hope infantry don't run into first?

That is really, really nsfw.
