Weapons: Everything About Demining

nothing ventured nothing gained today we'll talk about people who risk their lives every day to save others those who suffers today we will learn about improvised booby traps and how to deal with them do miners best friend the EOD robot - against a landmine who is going to win and will try to use a bathtub as a personal protector this will be a real blast so powerful sapper is the word of French origin which means to dig they were the part of combat engineer troops and their first instruments of labour were the shovels like this one of 1915 Pascal for the first time the word sapper appeared in the 17th century as the name for soldiers who dug tunnels and renomii fortifications to destroy them in 1678 in France sappers were separated into special troops and units later in addition to damaging enemy fortifications they perform a number of other tasks dug trenches for covert approach to enemy positions created their own fortifications on the frontline provided the crossing of rivers and swamps organized supply lines and restored infrastructure they function with which the sappers are known today defusing landmines missiles and shells was mastered by those units in the early 20th century we are in communist Podolski in the only D mining center of the Ukrainian Armed Forces the city has always been a center of historical events in certain periods it was heflin's residence and hosted military elites and now the professionals who are trained here are those who create new pages of the Ukrainian history the education itself is taking place at the training ground every year on our planet unexploded ordnance kills about 25,000 people it is an equivalent of two army divisions specialists have to deal with at least 700 kinds of landmines and explosive objects sap restraining ground as well as any training ground is created specifically to train their beginners and hone their skills to perfection here the trainees have a chance not to pay with their lives for their mistakes but to learn from them here the future D miners are trained to handle IEDs improvised explosive devices and the so called infernal machines the only purpose of which is demolition someone this is a book but for others a murder tool an improvised explosive device ie D is a self-made and ready to use ammunition it consists of a detonator and explosives TNT plastids or other means that are easily found on sale such as safety matters or gas the AED category also includes any industrial or military explosive device it contains some self-made elements a D minor is not a cat it doesn't have nine lives so beginners learning their explosive trade and a trained to avoid deadly mistakes under the mentorship of experienced instructors although is one of them must took me in this training site we worked through the following problem the triggering of an explosive object by double impulse fusilli during the dismantling of the old abandoned roadblocks recaptured by our army dissembling of old tires and waste may cause triggering an explosive device with double impulse fuse there was a contact closure an explosive objects triggered especially incompatible the most common kind of trap is a mind dam or an improvised obstacle let's have a look at a simple example tripwire is attached to one of three branches dumped into a pile with others if you move this timber the septum is pulled out that causes contact closure and therefore an explosion tripwire is the most common thing that sappers have to handle what we have here a door someone that genuinely steamy with plutonium very good cop we get on this object we are working on checking the building's for improvised explosive devices that is when the sapper gets inside he opens the door faces the tripwire and grenades for us Jessica yeah what we see now is the drill to clear the tripwire with the grenade on the door D miners should be very careful and cautious after all this extremely noticeable tripwire might be put there only for distraction someone knew before the press three key for whites over to stitch knew true but improvised explosive devices hidden in the drain pipes and triggered by a contact sensor that is during the passage of vehicles the pressure sensor is triggered an explosive which in this case is simply filled into a fuel canister detonates what did before mining and mining is a difficult thing thus it is very interesting science D miners often have to work out in the field minefield that is minefield part of the area with explosives installed minefields could be anti-personnel anti-tank and mixed they hard to cross and they usually don't need any personnel for service an efficient advantageous and therefore a very widespread barrier oh so fake my fields are widely used which usually marked with the science minds but figuring out if this is really so is the Animus problem the variety of anti-personnel mines is impressive and today we will check on three main types pmn 150 and 1/100 anti-personnel mine engineering munition designed for the destruction of enemy manpower there are two main types with traumatic and lethal effect the first kind is designed to cause injury the device is supplied with explosives exactly sufficient to tear off the victims Lam thus a wounded soldier is incapacitated and becomes a burden to his unit fragmentation mines have a different purpose to cause as much damage to the enemy as possible base a munition is able to destroy a single unit of up to 10 people the anti-tank mines are divided by the way they meant to damage the tank to destroy its tracks bottom or side Armour these mines detonate only an impact with massive armored vehicles and they're not triggered by people best man in a balaclava is a demining instructor everyday he looks into the eyes of danger and teaches his subordinates to do so confidently and professionally to make a visual demonstration let's set up and then diffuse the mind Ricola is the specialist of this branch and he will help us with this high Mikola what were we said now we will set an anti-personnel pressure action blast my PMM anti-personnel press action blast mine it can be planted both on the surface and in the soil even in the snow since 1997 and two personnel mines are banned in Ukraine they're destroyed in accordance with the norms of a relevant program unfortunately terrorists do not respect international conventions so our D miners often have to deal with this type of munitions in beasts of our country anti-personnel pressure action blast mine casing plastic weight 400 grams charge weight 100 grams diameter 12 centimeters height 54 millimeters sensor type pressure action operating pressure 8 to 25 kilos operating temperature range minus 40 to plus 50 degrees centigrade durability up to 10 years neutralization impossible to make the mine completely operational one should remove the safety cap and put the fuse in for the miners safety the distance arming mechanism is used once the ring PO is removed the steel wire cuts through a strip of lead and the mine get self cocked to be able to detect and clear mines one must know how they are set we do it gently to drown out everything should be done very gently to avoid any telltale signs we're digging a hole of three to four centimeters before installing the mine we tie the wire with a carbine to the ring port so we could pull it out after the miners put under the layer of soil we set the mine three to four centimeters deep into the soil the top surface there should not exceed two centimeters after having the mine installed we removed the ring pole with the help of the cord is the national genre we wish our mind is in a combat position mine clearance of a territory is a dangerous and slow work to find mines sappers usually use metal detectors and thin metal rods probes that they thrust them to the ground at an angle of about 30 degrees under ideal conditions within one day a team of two sappers can be mine about seven square meters and there is only one way to diffuse detected munitions by detonation there is no other technical possibility to disarm such munitions that job is so smooth sir requires nerves of steel and great restraint yes perhaps I can't wait till we get to practice we haven't prepared a special box and you'll see even more than me we'll finish you off for the test we needed volunteers so which it was those two one as you can see is protected by an EOD suit and the other one is wearing a t-shirt the hole in mine which attracted our attention is 150 it is a Soviet anti-personnel mine designed to disable enemy troops the explosion projects metal balls are cylinders in a given direction the height of effective sector is from 15 centimeters to 4 meters in the marginal range lethal range up to 50 meters type fragmentation mine of directional effect weight 2 kilos weight and type of charge PVV plastic explosives 700 grams number of fragments depends and equipment 485 cylinders of 550 balls with 66 millimetres length 226 millimeters height with legs folded 155 millimetres technical specifications tell us that the marginal lethal range of fragments is 50 meters it is at this distance from our volunteers that we place our mind and then everyone to the positions a shattering explosion splinters are flying with supersonic speed so the guys get hit even before they hear the sound the land is literally plowed by the blast a great way to cultivate your lawn let's have a look at the mannequins a t-shirt obviously makes a pure protection from fragments here we see a wound right to the heart the protected one was more fortunate all fragments remained in the suit none pierced it through a modern ant blast suit protects from all damaging effects of explosion including shock wave the set includes a protective jacket and pants helmet with armored glass Kevlar or nomads gloves mine protecting boots and additional armor panels to protect the most vulnerable parts of the body modern aod suits of highest category amendatory equipped with built-in voice communication and climate control systems besides the EOD operator can communicate with a post only through wired transmitter because the radio signal can trigger the mind fears but still now a OD suit however reliable can guarantee survival therefore to protect D miners special DoD robots are used the robots of the DES mining Center are American for almost a year they work side by side with our aod specialists robots are guided from a distance by a remote control or a joystick like device the cameras have a OD robots are operated the same way one of the means to dispose of a suspicious object is hydro blow which is part of the EOD robot it destroys the explosive fitments without detonating the charge it works so softly that even the windows remain intact now on this meet stanislav stanislav is a pilot of the robots effort it's very interesting work so we'll let stanislav tell us about it himself attraction from this robot is a robot scout it is designed for the inspection of suspicious objects checking the vehicles and also for the simple tasks like bringing the charge for the disposal of suspicious objects at the well chemicals like another squadron now he can make the moves like rising or moving something also this robot has proven himself very well in the east with the inspection of premises no horrible finish with his assistance we cannot just have a look around this object which is usually done by men at the risk of their lives a chest wounds attempt we can increase or reduce the size of a picture or highlight it if we really found something that is not safe you can move and transport it it's like Valley shall be a ballista these men abyss passionate women emotional mr. Eaton's put - what is it hard to learn to be a pilot of such a robot and control it robot say instrument yak metal - oh gosh boyacky cinching robot is a tool such as a metal detector or any other instrument like a sample shovel it is a tool to control your robot need to understand what you need to do try to perform the work remotely without endangering a human sapper distant immersion obispo cool safari with them are too much can you show me how to handle it so I could try it myself do you think I could manage it from the first try yes we'll try if you know what you are doing operating the robot itself is not complicated as but it's too late great I enjoyed it so much welcome to our training course yes I think I can learn that thank you thank you it's nice to meet you I hope this robot will save them a lot of lives there is a popular and perhaps international advice to hide in a bathtub from Shelley they say a cast-iron bathtub is shall proof is this true or is it just a common fallacy while the soldiers were preparing for a test our dummy got the scent of danger and decided to take a bath and change just in case bad idea especially when you are surrounded by the military Mon 102 personnel controlled fragmentation landmines of directional effect developed in the early 1960s in the USSR during the explosion it causes damage to a person or several people simultaneously with submunitions 400 steel rod fragments of 10 millimeters in diameter they are projected towards the enemy like to be 5 metres wide and at a range of up to 115 metres the probability of causing damage is 90% actually operator triggers the explosion by remote control when the enemy reaches the kill zone when the detonator sensor is touched case material steel weight 5 kilograms weight of explosive TNT 2 kilograms the number of projectiles 400 pieces the diameter of casing 236 millimeters the thickness of casing eighty two point five millimeters operating temperature range from minus 40 to plus 50 degrees centigrade nothing boded trouble a flock of deadly shrapnel covered now cast iron star and when the smoke cleared the myth was busted no a bathtub won't save you from a bomb check those huge holes and our reckless bath lava is clearly in a bad way the work of d minors is not an easy one it requires composure and attention but when you overcome yourself and save somebody's life you feel how rewarding this job is and that yo D is a function that unfortunately won't lose its relevance anytime soon the loss given in our echoes of the war reminds themselves even after 80 years this was the program weapons see you so much bro
