What is known about the Ukrainian mine with a PTM-1L strike core
It is known that the new mine is adapted for remote use, in particular, mining the territory from a drone.
The mine has a special magnetic fuse. The principle of its operation is that when a vehicle hits it or passes over it, the mine detonates it due to the oscillation of the magnetic field.
In addition, the magnetic fuse does not allow the mine to be neutralized without detonating it; any interaction with it leads to detonation under the influence of the magnetic field.
A mine explosion can pierce the hull of a combat vehicle, destroy the crew and internal components.
Such mines allow Ukrainian soldiers to remotely destroy armored vehicles and personnel of the Russians.
