8:00 its not nitroglycerine. It is known as TNT oil. The substance contains 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and its mono- and dintro-derivatives, which may undergo uncontrolled crystallization again during storage at elevated temperature, increasing the risk of accidental explosion.
All true but very doubtful. mono and dinitrotoluene are removed during purification / separation of isomers. You can obtain pure TNT at the expense of yield. The issue you are mentioning (essentially gravity bombs leaking from the fuze well or DNT getting in the threads) was a thing decades ago though. Interestingly, specs on impurities present in high explosives (acid, side products) are much more demanding in Russia than other countries (Source: Urbanski). How does that translate in the real world may be a different story ;)
Awesome how buddy has got his Russian combat gear on and his “imma punch holes in everything” gloves for dealing with a plastic mine! Getting into character! Atta boy! 👍🙂
I wonder how many of these are abandoned in the mountains of Afghanistan? I made an acquaintance who had an excellent living until 75 just doing mine clearing and explosive clearing in VN and Laos.As to placement. They are literally being laid on the road surface and left in plain view, so kick/sliding them out of the way has been seen, and even in plain sight the dummy peasants driving armor go around the last stricken vehicle and drive over a line easily seen 400 feet away by the drone cam filming, and BOOM. This device eliminates the unwary.
TNT exudes dinitro-Toluene, a bi-product of manufacture. It is not sensitive to all but the heaviest impact, but it will give you a nasty headache, much like Nitroglycerine.
TM 62's are a bit weird. Active ones can get even worse depending on person that did it. You can have a surprise not only under it, but also under the fuse itself. There is enough space inside to place a nasty surprise there. Even when you think the fuse is safe, unscrewing it is dangerous! There are disarming gadgets made just for those mines that unscrew the detonator before turning over the mine itself by same pulling action. You just loosen the detonator by 1/4 to 1/2 of a turn before. There can be a stock grenade detonator with a trip wire in the side/bottom of the mine just drilled and screwed directly into TNT itself! This is what you won't read in stock literature and depends on who puts the mine in. Even if you think that the mine is safe and defused - treat it as live if you are not the one that activated it!
That has been the case for 9 years in the east Ukraine. You even need to know anti-ship mines as Ukraine government installed those across towns and cities, and even made booby traps with hand grenades inside toys.
@@paristo I can understand tank and shipmines, but these small anti personal mines are extra evi. You can say to a kid dont touch these things and still they going to.
I have the M with a clockwork fuse. Your very lucky to have the P with the pneumatic fuse. I haven't seen those for a long time one the collectors market.
Sg42 so when you disarm the fuze and reset it. Does this mean the striker is rotated back? And you say its pneumatic that arms it does this mean after first time arming then disarmed the time delay for arming is gone on 2nd time use Because the air is released?
I can't see the detonator so I can't be 100% certain. But my guess is it does move back to transport position when it is reset. I had the blast of air the first time I tested the fuse but after reset it isn't doing that anymore.
I know the US and probably few other countries have some type of ground penetrating radar or something to do with soil density to find stuff like this. Also Russia has an mrap type vehicle that has microwaves that will detonate hidden explosives. Will heat up wires and explosives. Not sure if this practical in certain areas
These are extremely hard to detect. I know this is 1 of the mines that was used when the PSS-14 mine detectors were tested. The PSS-14 has Ground Penetrating Radar along with metal detection from what I remember.
Oi sou do Brasil onde arranjo uma mina de treinamento como essa quero para minha coleção mais ta difícil achar esses artigos militares pode me ajudar? Onde comprar e quanto custa
@@SecurityGuy42 I'm trying to print a more accurate 3D copy of all the measurements of the detonator, would you be able to send me these measurements of the detonator
TNT leaches Nitroglycerin???? Never heard of that. TNT is not a nitroglycerin containing explosive what is the method of decomposition? TNT can get oily when very hot but it’s not nitroglycerin.
Trinitrotoluene leaches pure nitroglycerin as it ages. Even military grade TNT does. This is common knowledge for those of us trained in safe handling and usage of explosives.
Very good information (I'm impressed) for upcoming EOD teams that deploy in areas with Soviet ordinance as a threat. But why throw in your own personal politics? its your choice (1st Amendment) but in my opinion, it's going to be your downfall in terms of being able to continue to share information of value that can help our nations hero's who serve.
That's not how Warfare works, Short-Bus. You sound like the Russians crying about the U.S. using Cluster Munitions because they couldn't make one that worked.

whos here after watching that video of ukraine people driving over mines and wanted to know how to disarm one
spot on! :D

Mine
you should do one on the m86 anti pursuit mine, pretty neat that one
It took me over 20 minutes to realise there's no Big Boom. Well done.
Thank you very much for these videos!
Its sad that kids must
learn about mines in schools
For many years forward in Ukraine.
That is a normal thing in many areas of the world.

Were these used by insurgents, mujahadeen, taliban, etc. in Iraq or Afghanistan? Any record of US sappers or EOD finding these?
They do appear in the Landmine Awareness Handbooks for Afghanistan.
These mines are essentially upgraded Teller mines. Just about everyone has something similar.
I need one to put on my shelf.
me watching this at 3am knowing full well that i will never use this information
Don't be so sure. 😂
"If it's not time of war" lol
Illegal to own a live one? there is always someone there to spoil your fun.
I got one of these at a gunshow for $180
What is the typical weight that will set off this type of fuse? Tried to search for it but didn't find it. Slava Ukraini!
Thought to be 122 Kilos or 270 pounds. Info on this fuse for the most part is guess work.
Слава Украине в составе России! Ура! Ура! Ура!
How in hell do you detect, these rascals, or is this why you can't ?

Just don’t drink Vodka! …. ivan
I threw up in my mouth. Thanks.
If it is booby trapped will that set off the mine also?
Ahh, yes.......

@@SecurityGuy42 por favor poderia me dizer as medidas do fusivel cada parte dele em centímetros e milímetros. As medidas todas da peça do fusivel
You're out of luck if they don't ship to Brazil.
@@SecurityGuy42 I'm trying to print a more accurate 3D copy of all the measurements of the detonator, would you be able to send me these measurements of the detonator
Can that be trigerd be a person stepping on it
Not likely.
@@SecurityGuy42 maybe some of the antifa types lol
As OP said, not likely but it has happened. Step down from a rock with a full backpack on that thing and roll the dice.
You need about 400 pounds to set it off
