Sappers clear a TM-62 anti-tank mine using a DZM-1, a Ukrainian-designed remote mine clearance device for mines that may be booby-trapped.
Forestial, I flinched reflexively when the thing flipped over. Maybe it was no longer dangerous by then.
flyoverstate, iirc the center bit thats unscrewed is the detonation device. the reason they are doing it at length like this is because mines are sometimes booby trapped with something underneath them to deter or slow down removal
Touching_Grass, I thought sappers were the mine clearance device
Tosti, 
Sapper is the name of the job some soldiers have. A more modern name is combat engineer: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapper
raoul, Why is the guy filming 2 meters away? Was it a demo or exercise?
Tosti, Must be, if you expect an AT mine to possibly go of, you would not be standing that close…
