Pooty Poot Is Really Angry: Ukraine's Mines Keep Killing Russian Tanks

A video clip shared on Twitter this week offers a first-person look at how land mines impact Russian tanks.

The video, which was shared by the popular war-tracking Twitter account Ukraine Weapons Tracker, is recorded from the perspective of a tank operator as it drives along the edge of a field somewhere in Ukraine. The half-minute-long video shows a Russian T-72B tank driving, firing at a target, and hitting at least one Ukrainian land mine as it moves. The tank was not left completely destroyed, although 20 seconds into the video, the tank visibly drives over a mine and an explosion occurs. Dirt, rocks, and dust can be seen erupting around the vehicle and some parts of the tank are visibly damaged as a result. The tank stops immediately following the explosion, suggesting that the mine at the very least immobilized the vehicle temporarily.
The tank appears to be somewhat intact, however, and it’s possible that the operators survived.

Ukraine Weapons Tracker offered some thoughts on the video and noted that despite the tank being fitted with a KMT-7 mine roller, the tank was still severely damaged.
“In the East, a Russian T-72B tank was damaged by a Ukrainian landmine/IED,” the account writes.

“Interestingly, though being equipped with a KMT-7 mine roller the tank still blew up, possibly indicating use of an off-set detonator placed specially to counter mine rolling equipment.

1. I am beginning to think that the Ukrainians

Were the engineering geniuses of the USSR. That leave the ruZZian federation with none.

2. There was a video early on of a Ukrainian lighting up a smoke and packing off a Russian mine

to plant where they would "find" it. I laughed my ass off! LOL
