Ukrainian Soldier Disarms Directional Anti-Personnel Mine
Published 1 years ago
Cell phone video released by a Ukrainian Soldier on patrol shows the disarmament and recovery of a directional anti-personnel mine. It's unclear which side emplaced the device.
The consensus on Reddit and Twitter is that this is a dastardly mine maliciously emplaced by Russian troops hoping to kill civilians. The confidence and direction of the Ukrainian Soldier's approach however tells us that he knew exactly where this direction anti-personnel mine was, and his recovery of said device indicates that the troop also has serious experience working with this specific device.
Both scenarios are perfectly plausible as both sides are in a conflict where these mines are legal and frequently used. I am inclined to believe that the mine was emplaced by the Ukrainian Soldier however as his direction of approach indicates that he emplaced the mine before heading out on the patrol.
