The corresponding video was published in Telegram. It shows how soldiers of the 81st brigade clear enemy trenches and dugouts, and use TM-62 anti-tank mines for more effective work.
Due to its power and large amount of explosive, the mine can be very successfully used to destroy such fortifications.
A lieutenant of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with the call sign “Alex” shared footage of clearing enemy “subways” with TM-62 anti-tank mines:
The work of my guys from the 81st UAEMBR near Belogorovka. During the clearing, one occupier was torn to pieces by the first mine; two managed to escape. There are not holes there, but entire underground communications. And chalk is simply terrifying for a trench, chalk everywhere.
“Military” writes that with a weight of 8-13 kg, the mine contains from 7 to 11 kg of explosive depending on the material of the body. To do this, the fighters modernized the projectile by adding a fire cord.
Before use, the cord is set on fire, after which the fighter has time, depending on the length of the cord, to place a mine or throw it into an enemy dugout. The burning speed of such a cord is about 1 cm per second.
According to the author of the video, thanks to such great power, the enemy dugouts were cleared very effectively, without the enemy being able to escape. In addition to mines, FPV drones are also actively used for offensive actions by the Ukrainian military.
