The Russians began using “flying mines” based on FPV drones for remote mining.

The soldiers of the Surveillance and Target Acquisition Battery “Khorne Group” of the 116th Mechanized Brigade released the relevant video on their Telegram channel.

It is reported that over the past three days, more than 15 such “flying mines” have been found on the roads.

Some of these mines were equipped with target sensors, which are used on the POM-2 anti-personnel mine.

The other part of the mines used a time-delay fuze (a mine fuze with a time delay mechanism).

The soldiers inform that the demasking factor of such mines is the drone underneath them and the “squeak” of its hardware component.

Drone mining is commonplace in the Russian-Ukrainian war, but this is the first time this method has been recorded.

Given that the drone’s hardware component remains active, it can be assumed that the “flying mine” can change its location if necessary.

In addition, it is not known whether such drones are equipped with a system for remotely initiating the detonation of a munition.

Militarnyi previously reported that Ukrainian ground drones have been equipped with artillery ammunition.

The released footage shows a wheeled drone unloading a platform, presumably equipped with a remote initiation function, with an artillery munition attached.

The reconnaissance drone then recorded a Russian infantryman walking toward the ammunition, followed by the initiation of the detonation and a powerful explosion.
