This image shows a PTM-3 scatterable anti-vehicle mine, surrounded by the remnants of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Russia has been dispensing PTM-3 mines from one-way attack UAVs as they fly towards their primary target. Typically, these OWA UAVs are fitted with KPTM-3 remote mining canisters mounted under the wings, which eject their PTM-3 payload midair. The PTM-3’s fuze features an arming delay which is sufficient to allow the mine to fall to the ground before fully activating. (ARES)
