Super interesting. Weirdly enough a few weeks ago I googled "bouncing anti tank mine" to see if somebody had already invented the concept but couldn't find any references. The concepts makes so much sense. If I were producing BONUS or SMART 155mm rounds, I would look for a way to turn them into mines. The PTKM-1R doesn't seem to go that far up in the air. Launching it at up to 200m would give the warhead a great search radius.

There's actually another video on this channel on the DM22 mine, which is basically a single-shot mortar that lobs a HEAT round at the target. These so-called "off-route mines" are actually pretty commonplace nowadays; no more are anti-tank mines restricted to the roll-over kind.

@@yetanother9127 Good point about the DM22 lobbing a HEAT round but it's not really what I had in mind. Asside from this PTKM-1R, most (all ?) off-road mines rely on the operator pointing the mine in a very specific direction and then waiting on a target to cross that magic line. Having a mine that you can just place around the area of interest seems increadly usefull. I would probably not even bother too much about it being automaticaly activated.

Very interesting video. Please keep this great content coming.

its a very similar concept to the BONUS submunition. while not a mine it works in basically the same manner and is in current use as far as i know.

This very much reminds me of an air-dropped cluster munition developed in the 1980s by the British for use against massed Soviet tank formations. The sub-munitions would fall like wobbly sycamore seeds to scan a large area. If a tank was detected the sub-munition would detonate and send an explosively formed projectile through the top of the tank. If no tank was detected and the sub-munition made it to the ground, it would act like a directional anti-tank mine.

Interestingly, many years ago Norway was looking into maybe purchasing an acoustically triggered off-route mine that was said to differentiate between different vehicles based on sound profiles. I forget which one, maybe the German model. Anyway, they needed to test the manufacturer's claim so asked the Russians if they would please send one tank across the border for a dry fire test. The Russians obliged, of course they were just as eager to know whether the system worked or not. That's the only time a Russian armoured vehicle has taken part in a military exercise on Norwegian soil, I recall there was a fair bit of media attention at the time. Don't know if the mine worked or not, but I'm pretty sure we didn't buy any.

Western Countries have supplied SMArt 155 and BONUS ammunition which uses MMW radar and infrared (SMART 155) and LIDAR ,Infrared (BONUS) to destroy tanks using EFP perpetrators. These technology was perfected by the US by 1993 in the form of SADARM "Sense and Destroy ARMor".

A little more evolved by the look of it but similar concept.

I wonder what the cost and weight impact is for the top attack feature and if this couldn’t be traded for increased power. Even front glacis can be penetrated with a strong enough duplex charge. On a separate note, I don’t see “turtle tanks” doing well against remotly formed EFP devices. The steel bar mesh might act as grate armour against an inbound contact detonated device like RPG by cutting the shaped charge, but would have little benefit against remotly firmed EFP such as the weapon here. Anyone see otherwise? BTW in one example I saw where a turtle tank was damaged, there was no ERA beneath the thin metal sheets and mess of rebar.

just send an autonomous loud speaker into suspected mine area and set them off.

It's an improved copy of the hornet. My last unit that I was Armorer in, I had an M93 Hornet controller in my arms room and we were trained on how to use them. Amazing little piece of tech, but prohibitively expensive to deploy, which is why I'm certain Russia has very few of these in use. That's probably why no footage as of yet of them being used. The Volcano system referenced in the hornet video is a helicopter mounted mine discharger that can blanket areas with multiple mine types. I'm glad Ukraine is hard at work creating their own now thanks to Russia donating a few.

Yes, if you have a whole field covered in these that can start to stand out like a sore thumb as they are not buried and reasonably large. But one or two strategically placed can be effective. But they are defensive only. you place them when expecting an enemy advance on your position. but these mines are more expensive to, with lower probability of kill, as you have to be sure the enemy will approach it otherwise it's wasted. Air power, artillery, drone strikes, AT missiles, etc. are more cost effective, and better for advancing. The US hornet mine has a few days to 2week self destruct to avoid littering lands with mines after a war. so if it never finds a target or is never retrieved, it is lost. Waste of money if it self destructs, and it's not cheap. Whereas something like a javelin, NLAW, etc can be used both offensively and defensively and has greater range from point of firing.

and you're just a teenager.

It appears to have a very ‘analogue’ look to it, (for want of a more technologically correct term).

sci-fi looking stuff

How can it differentiate between RU T-72 and UKA T-72????

Great question, not a clue! It's never been discussed by Russian sources and it's impossible to tell.

@@TheArmourersBench Maybe some kind of sensors are installed in Russian tanks, thanks to which the mine understands whose tank it is

Russian tanks do not follow the path of mines installed by the Russian army. Even if the Ukrainian army installs traditional anti-tank mines, it will not be stupid enough to take the path of installing mines!

Doubt it even can.

Pretty effective piece of hardware but I wish they would stop using butterfly mines. Also vacuum bombs, not difficult to see they've been deployed more than once.

If santa was a giant the moose would be his rudolph.

That looks a very complicated bit of hardware, labour intensive to build & each in it’s own wooden transport crate suggests it may not be very robust in transit.

Looks similar to the US Sensor fused weapon.

So, Javelin also does 'top down' firing. Why don't tank builders make the top of tanks more armoured to stop 'top down' attacks?

Javelin has low penetration so ERA on top of tank protects perfectly against it. For tandem Javelin charges Russia now makes second layer of ERA on special platform 50 cm higher than first ERA layer

and they have exactly 12 of them

no... they made another one today so its 13... it was shown last year so what do you expect?

How does one acquire the vibration and acoustic signature of the enemy's armor without having examples of their armor to do it? I get that Ukraine is using Soviet equipment Ike Russia, but what about other adversaries?

An enemy tank is going to sound more like your own tanks than a random car, I suppose. You can probably get good enough signature from just attending a military show. Also should not be too hard to get some "spy" into the military and record it with their smartphone considering how relaxed the militaries seem to be today. It's probably harder to ger signatures on next gen fighters than 40 year old tanks.

>Ukraine places skeet shooters atop tanks

it bounces too far in the air for the shaped charge to pierce any modern tank, besides maybe t62 without era on its roof.

That's not a mine, that's an automatic mortar.
