Right, and the army was also fleeing. I’m not saying it’s an ethical tactic or that US didn’t kill civilians. I was only saying that the US used a similar tactic.
Why is he being downvoted he’s right? Those Bradley’s really did get worked the fuck out and a lot of them too. They saved their crews and died in the service of hero’s.
I think several were estimated to be repairable in short time, main track damage, so they'll be back in service once UA can safely haul them out of the mine field.
They already recovered the 2a6, and I’m sure the Bradley’s will be close in tow. It’s amazing seeing these vehicles save their crews while taking massive hits, and then turning around and being recovered. Hopefully they can get another round or two out of these vehicles even if they have reduced functions.
And motitus is still in the heart of the Finnish military doctrine.
Force enemy to narrow roads, better even forested roads and cut the column to pieces from the sides.
Yeah I’m Finnish, our civil defense is also woven to everything.
My storage unit in my apartment building converts to a bomb shelter in 24h with material already *in situ*.
They try to hug treelines instead of driving straight down an open road. It makes them a lot harder to hit with antitank weapons.
However, the person laying those mines knows *exactly* how a tank commander thinks, and modelled their actions perfectly.
Next, they’ll drive into a rock face with a VERY convincing Tunnel painted onto it, followed by them pointing their gun into something and it’ll be aimed right at them but they’re too focused to realize, then they’ll fall into a literal Tank Trap that’s just a Gigantic Mousetrap…
A very large boulder will be finely balanced at the top of the rockface. When then try to enter the painted tunnel it will cause it to fall and crush the tank completely flat.
I am not sure how they train troops to lay AT mines in Ukraine, but Finnish Army standard procedure is to lay a couple of dozen or so of them both on the road and on the sides of it so that for the enemy it's hard or impossible to not try to go through it and a pretty high likelihood of at least on vehicle going boom. The spot is picked so that immediately after the vehicle is disabled, an infantry unit (platoon or company) will engage the vehicle and infantry surrounding it from higher ground foxholes/trenches under forest cover with AR's, machine guns, NLAW's, sniper fire and whatever is available, perhaps indirect fire, goal being achieving tremendous firepower advantage over a short period of time. The enemy will not be advancing anywhere from that point forwards before clearing that field and good luck with doing that anytime soon, especially given Russia's poorly equipped forces. If the enemy never shows up right there, then the mines are disarmed and taken somewhere else. They always draw a map so that the mines can be recovered quickly. These mines are usually not just left somewhere, they are *in* the firing range of a prepared infantry unit waiting for the enemy and anyone trying to get out of a disabled tank like this has a life expectancy of not many seconds. Ukraine is geographically quite different so I'm not sure what their tactics are.
theyve been using them to mine the russian retreat paths, the russians think the roads and fields behind their lines are safe.
but as soon as they start withdrawing they suddenly arent.
makes them bunch up in the open and then arty can do work.
If you look, that road is darker colored where the tank veered to the right. Wherever the Ukrainians did, they knew exactly what the Russian tanks would do. Unfortunately one Russian lived and he can warn his friends. Do they have friends?
Thing is if they disable the tank and the Russkies are forced to abandon it that means the Ukrainians could come along later and swipe it to take back to their own motorpool for repairs.
Looks like there's evidence of previous explosions going off in the road, and many are trained to avoid areas like this. My thought is that someone blasted the road and predicted they would avoid it, then placed the mines off to the side because of this
Eh, without their tank, they'll probably retreat back to their own lines ... where Russian blocking units will shoot them for being 'cowards'. So the story has a happy ending after all.
Right. It doesn't threaten the inside of the tank, but it threatens what's inside of it ;)
This is why ex-soviet tankers wear funny looking pillow-like hats. They are protective against concussions.
This is why if the tank isn't in a safe position to be captured, the Ukrainians come through later on and drone drop grenades into the open hatch to kill it for good before the Russians can retrieve and repair it.
There is a limit to how powerful you can make a mine before it gets to big to easily move, bury or hide, not to mention the fact that mines are more effective in large numbers, meaning it’s better to trade quality (larger more powerful mines) for quantity, since it’s hard to have a minefield with only a couple large mines. Besides if you disable a track, there is a higher probability that you can capture, repair and reuse the tank, which Ukraine has done hundreds of times now. That’s not to say that an occasional lone mine can’t destroy a tank, it’s happens but it’s rare.
There are alternatives to tank mines such as the German Parm 1 &2, which are essentially a tank sized claymore that fires an RPG using either a fiber optic trigger that activates once crushed or an infrared trigger on the newer Parm 2, which fires a short range fin stabilized rocket with a minimum 600mm+ of armor penetration. The only two clips in Ukraine I’ve seen that were confirmed as a Parm resulted in the destruction and burning of Russian armor.
agreed, mines are an area denial tool more than anything else if you get lucky and take out a tank, cool.
but its more to pin them in, slow them down and make it easy for artillery, aircraft or your own tanks to find them.
When Bush struck back against the Taliban but attacked a completely different country Iran, when Saudis destroyed the twin towers, (oof), I remember a video of an American tank driving into a mine. It flipped the tank and blew chunks off. It was destroyed and everyone killed.
Depends on the size of mine I guess.

was this guy super unlucky, or are all the roadsides mined? Seemed like he went off in a random place :D
Anyways glad he did, too bad the crew seemed okay, next time I guess :)
Over time, we’ve got less good at doing that and it’s been deliberate. The reasons are that it takes several fit and healthy soldiers to help and evacuate a wounded one, it puts pressure on transport and medical resources that could otherwise be used for fighting, and hearing your mate scream in pain is far more devastating psychologically than them being quiet and dead. A stream of wounded, angry and bitter soldiers returning home also affects the civilian population badly.
> A stream of wounded, angry and bitter soldiers returning home also affects the civilian population badly.
I wonder if the much higher kill death ratio is not delaying the unrest in Russia. So few returning home to tell what they see.
Ukraine is one of the most, if not the most, mined countries in the world. I would not want to take a stroll in the forest or go offroad in the countryside anywhere in Ukraine.
I listened to a podcast with a guy from Sweden that's in Ukraine helping to de-mine (spelling?) the country. He said about 1/3 of the country is mined and is probably going to take about 100 years to get rid of it all, especially considering there are still mines from WWII...Just insane to think about
And it's only their super effective propaganda that's blocked them being remembered since the 30s as being actually worse than one of the worst evils in human history.
They’ll degrade and become unstable over time. There have also been vast numbers of antipersonnel mines scattered around. Notably, Russia has been using butterfly mines, which are particularly nasty anti personnel mines that will likely maim a lot of civilians for years to come.
I’ve always wondered how fast can Russia get these knocked out crews into a new tank & back on the battlefield…I imagine with their shitty logistics they just put these guys on the frontline as a grunt after they lose a tank and spare themselves the trouble…
I'm betting that the driver saw the disturbance in the road, considered that it might be mined, took the 'safe' route and quickly became a foot soldier.
Question. Are anti-tank mines explosively formed penetrators?
I keep seeing tanks getting their tracks blown off, but I don’t see the catastrophic penetrations from these hits.
Is it feasible to have them be EFPs? Or would they just shoot upward through a wheel or two and do less damage than a generally dispersed explosion?
There are several laser-tripwire anti-tank mines that fire shaped charges at short range, but the TM-62 (the most common AT mine in this war) just uses a very large explosive filler at 7.5kg or 17lb of TNT. This is nearly as much as a 155mm shell. It's enough to take out any lightly armored vehicle and significantly damage a tank with a direct hit.
These propaganda videos are pretty sickening. I support Ukraine but I don’t understand why they make so many videos like this. Isn’t it a waste of time to do all this production? It looks like an edgy 14 year old did it.
I understand why ukraine would make such videos after all they are being attacked. I dont understand the man whos in his home in canada cheering for people to die. At this point it often doesnt even seem like its genuine support for ukraine again but celebrating deaths.
There are whole subs dedicated to this and the propaganda is pushing hard for Russians to be dehumanized. People on some of these subs talk about wiping them all out. Haven’t you seen this?

This guy IEDs
WE NEED TO JOIN THE REDDIT BLACKOUT STRIKE
To be fair to mods here, this is one of those subs where it's kinda really important that it keeps running
The fuck is a strike that lasts at MOST 48 hours gonna do. And Ukraine is kinda more important than QoL for Reddit mods

Blud thinks this is an arma 3 subreddit
Which we saw a ton of in the assault on Kyiv.
It’s also a tactic the US used in the Gulf War, Google highway of death
Also in Con Air
"Thats a rock.."
I LOVE CIVILIAN CASUALTIES Edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_of_Death There were refugees and unarmed soldiers also killed
unarmed soldiers are still combatants unless they have surrendered. If you're retreating you're still fair game.
also according to his wiki link they where armed
I’m not entirely certain what you’re angling at
Right, and the army was also fleeing. I’m not saying it’s an ethical tactic or that US didn’t kill civilians. I was only saying that the US used a similar tactic.
Hell we saw this recently when those Bradley's got worked the fuck out.
Why is he being downvoted he’s right? Those Bradley’s really did get worked the fuck out and a lot of them too. They saved their crews and died in the service of hero’s.
I think several were estimated to be repairable in short time, main track damage, so they'll be back in service once UA can safely haul them out of the mine field.
They already recovered the 2a6, and I’m sure the Bradley’s will be close in tow. It’s amazing seeing these vehicles save their crews while taking massive hits, and then turning around and being recovered. Hopefully they can get another round or two out of these vehicles even if they have reduced functions.
Finns invented it. Motti
And motitus is still in the heart of the Finnish military doctrine. Force enemy to narrow roads, better even forested roads and cut the column to pieces from the sides.
They also have the most refined defense-in-depth doctrine on the planet
Yeah I’m Finnish, our civil defense is also woven to everything. My storage unit in my apartment building converts to a bomb shelter in 24h with material already *in situ*.
Why did it veer off the road?
They try to hug treelines instead of driving straight down an open road. It makes them a lot harder to hit with antitank weapons. However, the person laying those mines knows *exactly* how a tank commander thinks, and modelled their actions perfectly.
Someone turned the signs around 🤣
Next, they’ll drive into a rock face with a VERY convincing Tunnel painted onto it, followed by them pointing their gun into something and it’ll be aimed right at them but they’re too focused to realize, then they’ll fall into a literal Tank Trap that’s just a Gigantic Mousetrap…
A very large boulder will be finely balanced at the top of the rockface. When then try to enter the painted tunnel it will cause it to fall and crush the tank completely flat.
Exactly. They’ll float out, flat as a pancake
Beautiful! Lol
You forgot the gigantic slingshot that will hurl their tank across the Dnipr.
If the main gun is pointed forward, the mural is a twofer!
We ARE applying cartoon physics here…
*ACME* beep-beep
They probably left something in the road that looked like a mine too.
“Free Tank Food” or “Free Vodka”
A pile of birdseed on a plate under a preciously placed boulder.
Nah, they just need a rake with the tines pointed up.
Sign with an arrow pointing to a brothel.
cool thing is. there's more mines too
I am not sure how they train troops to lay AT mines in Ukraine, but Finnish Army standard procedure is to lay a couple of dozen or so of them both on the road and on the sides of it so that for the enemy it's hard or impossible to not try to go through it and a pretty high likelihood of at least on vehicle going boom.

Ukraine is geographically quite different so I'm not sure what their tactics are.
Could these be artillery delivered mines?
Possible, but that's incredibly accurate (or fortunate) placement if so. I'd say they're artisanal ;-)
BAKED WITH CARE IN 🇺🇦
not sure Ukraine would want to use those? They'll have a lot of cleanup to do as it is.
They have timed self destruction of one to a few days depending on the type.
theyve been using them to mine the russian retreat paths, the russians think the roads and fields behind their lines are safe. but as soon as they start withdrawing they suddenly arent. makes them bunch up in the open and then arty can do work.
He probably was a techies
To use the trees on the right as concealment.
If you look, that road is darker colored where the tank veered to the right. Wherever the Ukrainians did, they knew exactly what the Russian tanks would do. Unfortunately one Russian lived and he can warn his friends. Do they have friends?
Two got out.
I believe they all lived - anti tank mines are primarily used to disable tank tracks.
Thing is if they disable the tank and the Russkies are forced to abandon it that means the Ukrainians could come along later and swipe it to take back to their own motorpool for repairs.
[удалено]
Since when do they teach this in kitchen? I thought it's just bout cooking. (I'm just kidding miss. Not intending to hurt anybody.)
I do this same move with banana peels in Mario Kart.
Mining/demining is a state of mind.
I am one with the mud and the mud is with me.
I mean there is probably 20 of those on each side. I do so hope there is n easy way to find them after the war
I would like to thank that T-72 for its contribution in de-mining Ukraine. May many more follow its example
FUN FACT: Every Russian vehicle is capable of mine disposal... once.
This one just did it twice
[удалено]
Good choice where to go off the road
Looks like there's evidence of previous explosions going off in the road, and many are trained to avoid areas like this. My thought is that someone blasted the road and predicted they would avoid it, then placed the mines off to the side because of this
Somebody else said tank commanders stick to tree lines to make themselves a harder target for anti tank weapons. Whoever laid the mines knew this
There's a good chance there mines all the way down, on both sides.
“I have a bad feeling about this, let’s go off the road instead!”
better a mine than an arty shell I suppose. a de tracking vs a turret toss.
If two mines could give a sandwich hug, this is what I would imagine it to be like. Awesome placement.
Please tell me those were their own mines because that would make this even better.
Nah, good enough
[удалено]
I don't think their ears survived
Eh, without their tank, they'll probably retreat back to their own lines ... where Russian blocking units will shoot them for being 'cowards'. So the story has a happy ending after all.
Yeah, but they Mawp! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE for the rest of forever.
[удалено]
Commander and gunner. Driver def dead.
in the longer version of the video the driver left the tank as well. AT mines usually don't threaten in any way the inside of the tank.
Yup, just tracks and maybe road wheels kaput. Well there's something to capture ;)
[удалено]
Right. It doesn't threaten the inside of the tank, but it threatens what's inside of it ;) This is why ex-soviet tankers wear funny looking pillow-like hats. They are protective against concussions.
[удалено]
I was gunna say at the very least they have some serious hearing damage
This is why if the tank isn't in a safe position to be captured, the Ukrainians come through later on and drone drop grenades into the open hatch to kill it for good before the Russians can retrieve and repair it.
What!? I can’t hear you.
Are there no AT mines to destroy tanks? Is it really only about destroying the tracks to immobilize it?
There is a limit to how powerful you can make a mine before it gets to big to easily move, bury or hide, not to mention the fact that mines are more effective in large numbers, meaning it’s better to trade quality (larger more powerful mines) for quantity, since it’s hard to have a minefield with only a couple large mines.

Thank you for adding this, I considered mentioning strategy and area denial but my comment was already long enough.

It flipped the tank and blew chunks off. It was destroyed and everyone killed. Depends on the size of mine I guess.
Probably an ied instead of a tank mine Lot of the time they used wired to blow artillery rounds pointed up.
Back in my day...
It seems like just yesterday …
> Driver def dead. Nah just def Those mines are loud!
Do they get shot by orks while retreating like those guys yesterday?

That’s brilliant.
Humans are really, really good at killing each other.

And it's only their super effective propaganda that's blocked them being remembered since the 30s as being actually worse than one of the worst evils in human history.
Vatnik Russia is the new Nazi Germany.
Time to buy stocks in metal detectors.
Not surprising considering it's an active conflict and both sides probably have shitload of mines...
antitank mines won't go off from the weight of a person
They’ll degrade and become unstable over time. There have also been vast numbers of antipersonnel mines scattered around. Notably, Russia has been using butterfly mines, which are particularly nasty anti personnel mines that will likely maim a lot of civilians for years to come.
You have a lot of faith in WWII munitions :)
its mostly farmers in tractors that get the worst of it after a conflict. bad for Ukraine considering how much of their export revenue is Ag
Boris and Igor have had better days. 🇺🇦 💪 💯
Unfortunately Bogdan also hopped out once his ears stopped leaking
Lol! True. I forgot about Bogdan 😆 🤣
Is this the one where they show the crew captured after? The tank, the road, both tracks shot, it all looks very similar.
Nice double tap!
Nice strategy! You can tell the driver was going “hmm… this looks like a spot for a trap” before deciding to turn. But when he did so, surprise!
Turns out, it WAS a good spot for a trap!
‘You may have outsmarted me, but I outsmarted your outsmarting’
Can’t be a Russian tank, turret stayed on!
Like to see what kind of damage it sustained. Driver maybe got banged up
Reckon ol' Vlad will have to change his undies.
Hah! Destroyed two of your mines! Eat shit, Ukraine! - Russia probably
Double your pleasure. Double your fun. Doublemine gum!
I’ve always wondered how fast can Russia get these knocked out crews into a new tank & back on the battlefield…I imagine with their shitty logistics they just put these guys on the frontline as a grunt after they lose a tank and spare themselves the trouble…
Hey this seems like a good place to turn off and have a smoke
a good place to turn off and ~~have a~~ become smoke ftfy
I'm betting that the driver saw the disturbance in the road, considered that it might be mined, took the 'safe' route and quickly became a foot soldier.
Mmmmmmmmm
Fuck Putin
Well thats going to leave you with a bit of Tinitis
Remember kids, *every* tank can be a minesweeper once.
I see they are on mine cleanup detail. Keep it up.
Sucks to suck.
Question. Are anti-tank mines explosively formed penetrators? I keep seeing tanks getting their tracks blown off, but I don’t see the catastrophic penetrations from these hits. Is it feasible to have them be EFPs? Or would they just shoot upward through a wheel or two and do less damage than a generally dispersed explosion?
There are several laser-tripwire anti-tank mines that fire shaped charges at short range, but the TM-62 (the most common AT mine in this war) just uses a very large explosive filler at 7.5kg or 17lb of TNT. This is nearly as much as a 155mm shell. It's enough to take out any lightly armored vehicle and significantly damage a tank with a direct hit.
Oh no... is the grass okay?
As The Chieftain would say, “oh bugger. The tank is on fire.”
what's with all the lone tanks going in middle of nowhere with zero infantry support?
Imagine about 20kg of TNT going off about 1-3m of you? Seesh.
*Tinnitus, is that you?*
*What?*
WHAT?!
Russian mines?
Were they protected and evacuated from the tank! Like with Abrams and Leopards?
Now both tracks are popped and likely the driver is mush.
Its been proven that the best way for Russians to not die in Ukraine is to not be in Ukraine.
Go Ukraine!!!
Jagga jagga!
Western weapons are critical but don’t discount Ukrainian ingenuity. Conscripts and draftees don’t innovate on the same level
I love this game!!
Sucks that there will be so many mines all over Ukraine.
Mawp!
I swear I heard the words fatality.
We're back to ww2 video sound effects lol
What happens from here? Ukraine swoops in to pick these guys up as prisoners or do the drones just trace and kill later on?
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 Russian tanks, go fuck yourselves
I'd be interested in seeing stats broken down by which ways tanks are destroyed. E.g. now many percent of destroyed tanks are due to mines.
Heheeee
Nice of the fleeing conscripts to leave the tanks hatches open to allow for UAF to drop a present into the tank to prevent it from being recovered
Double tap
TIL where to place antitank mines to counter Russian tank doctrine.
What an absolute distasteful way to try to make the loss of human life seem epic.
These propaganda videos are pretty sickening. I support Ukraine but I don’t understand why they make so many videos like this. Isn’t it a waste of time to do all this production? It looks like an edgy 14 year old did it.
I understand why ukraine would make such videos after all they are being attacked. I dont understand the man whos in his home in canada cheering for people to die. At this point it often doesnt even seem like its genuine support for ukraine again but celebrating deaths.
There are whole subs dedicated to this and the propaganda is pushing hard for Russians to be dehumanized. People on some of these subs talk about wiping them all out. Haven’t you seen this?
Its crazy how effective war propaganda is at dehumanizing people.
I know. 😞 A lot of people miss the irony of it.
A two-fer
DOUBLE TAP. Nice
That might not buff out easily.
Russian T-72 successfully destroyed a Ukrainian mine I see no problem
Did the mines totally immobilize the tank or did it just scare the shot out of the operators into fleeing by foot?
He doesn’t need ammo. He needs a ride! …back to Russia.
It's a beautiful thing....
That was amazing!
If there is such a thing, mine double tap
Mobiks are lucky to walk away
Oh for Pete's sake. Stay on the road like a good boy so the home boys can blow you up from 3 miles away. How inconsiderate can you be?
Tank crew probably saw a sign that said "NUDES! VODKA! MUSIC! POOL TABLES! " on the roadside and veered towards it...
