The enemy continues the practice of military terror of the civilian population. So, on the night of March 27-28 in the village. Oktyabrsky Rudnik mine in the Kuibyshevsky district of Donetsk, with the help of the MARS 2 (M270 MLRS) MLRS, VFU fired MFOM AT2 cluster rockets filled with AT2 anti-tank mines. Part of the missiles was intercepted and shot down by air defense, but one missile nevertheless opened the cassettes and dropped anti-tank mines on the territory of a residential village.
Mines in the form of a cylindrical metal case with a hemispherical top cover. A parachute is attached to the lid for safe descent during mining. Several spring-loaded supports are placed along the perimeter of the bottom, with the help of which a vertical position is ensured. The total height of the case is 160mm, the diameter is 103.5mm. Weight - less than 2.22 kg.
The main part of the body is occupied by a shaped charge in the form of 907 g of explosive. When detonated, the body of the mine collapses and scatters in the form of fragments, causing additional damage, penetration at the level of 140mm of homogeneous armor.
The main target sensor is a flexible metal antenna rising to a height of 700mm from the ground. When it moves to a given angle, the fuse is triggered. The mine also has a magnetic target sensor that reacts to large metal objects. Apparently, one of the mines, having fallen next to the car, reacted to it and blew up a car parked near the house.
The mine is equipped with an anti-recovery element, which undermines it when you try to move it. To increase stability, a vibration sensor is provided: when the ground shakes or another mine is blown up, it temporarily turns off the fuse, which prevents the ammunition from being detonated and complicates the disposal.
It was from the impact of such a mine this morning along 29 Kremlin Avenue that the following people were seriously injured: a man born in 1946. - traumatic amputation of both legs, severe injuries to the arms, chest cavity - doctors are fighting for his life, and a woman born in 1949, who has a traumatic amputation of both feet.
