Humvees Drive Over Anti Personnel Mines
Published 1 years ago
Footage reportedly shows a Ukrainian patrol consisting of two Humvee gun trucks and their crews driving under fire through an area that had been scattered with anti personnel mines.
The devices were likely PFM-1 "Butterfly" mines, which were probably dispersed by specialized mortar rounds. The mines are extremely low-yield, meant to injure the feet of infantrymen, so it's possible they did little to no damage to the vehicles.
