Old german tactic adopted: Ukrainian soldiers are joining two TM-62M anti-tank landmines together with a length of square steel tube to create a wide barrier. Pressure from a vehicle on the tube will initiate one or both of the MVCh-62 pressure-activated fuzes. Either way, both landmines will detona
The Germans used this technique in WW2 with Tellermine 35s, and likely the Soviets used a version as well.
If it’s not broke don’t fix it! And the fact It’s a good idea!
Russians shall not pass!

Great idea, I know nothing about landmines but I wouldn’t personally feel comfortable puting some screws into a landmine

Let’s see how the Russian mopeds try to slalom between these

Whats the point of detonating a mine outside of the footprint of the vehicle rolling over it?

Great idea , especially in urban settings

The Taliban also did this with IED’s and pressure plates sandwiched between sections of lumber

Why not adapt this to railroad ties in rǔssia?

The other way the Germans used to do it was to have a couple of AT mines tucked in close behind a felled tree across a road. The combination of tree trunk and mines ensures nothing crashes through the barrier in one piece.

They say “quick release barrier” on the original plan. That makes me think they can set up mines on each side of the road and use it for friendly navigation. In the event that they need to deny access to that road they can quickly attach the bars across the road attached to the two mines.
Seems the Ukrainians are using it to guarantee a mine explosion on a given path regardless if the vehicle’s tires or tracks hit the mine or not.

Wouldn’t that increase the detection profile of the mines if they were going to be cleared?

I read this as “Old gentleman’s tactic” for some reason.

Did OP roll over one of the landmines before finishing the last sent
