⚡️🇷🇺🇩🇪🇺🇦 On the Use of German AT2 Mines by Ukrainian Formations⚡️

In the #Liman area west of #Kremennaya, Russian sappers discovered AT2 anti-tank mines, probably remotely mounted from a MARS II multiple rocket launcher system.

The modification of the ammunition looks rather curious: judging by the photo, it is DM1443, the information about the characteristics of which is practically not available in open sources. It is highly likely that the find is the latest development of the German military.

The shipment of these mines can be associated either with the depletion of AT2 stocks in #Germany, or with the desire to test new products in combat conditions used in unified MLRS MFOM shells.

At least 28 AT2 mines can be placed in the warhead of such a missile, while the main body is occupied by a shaped charge of 907 g of explosive with a penetration of about 140 mm of armor.

A characteristic feature of these mines is the presence of a flexible metal antenna raised 70 cm off the ground. It acts as a sensor and is triggered when the antenna is moved to a certain angle.

🔻 Previously, the media only reported on the production of AT2 mines in variants DM1233/1274/1399. The difference between them is in the simultaneous number of AT2s deployed, the dispersion area and the range. The use of the DM1399 variant by the AFU is also reliably known. Last week, Ukrainian formations bombarded residential areas of #Donetsk with them.

Formally, the mines are anti-tank, but because of the sensitivity of the sensors they can also be triggered by humans. This effectively equates them with anti-personnel mines, which is banned by the #Ottawa Convention, which #Germany legally abides by.

Expecting an immediate end to the use of banned weapons against civilians in #Donbass is pointless. The bias of international organisations is no secret to anyone, and they have little real power.

This, in fact, is confirmed by the active production of anti-personnel mines by the German military industry.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🇺🇸 Following the 2nd Day of the Battle near #Belgorod, the #US began to change their Shoes in the Air⚡️

💬 The Head of the Press Service of the US Department of State, Matthew Miller, said at a regular briefing that #US authorities "doubt the veracity of reports" that Ukrainian saboteurs had used US-provided weapons during a sortie in the Belgorod Region.

❗️Then an even more amusing Report emerged, the Pentagon said it did not approve the transfer of equipment supplied to #Ukraine to a third party, and Kiev had not requested it.

▪️ At first Washington was silent for 24 hours, observing the situation. When it became clear that #Russia was once again losing in the information space and that the military's sortie was having a positive propaganda effect, Miller burst into a post about that "Ukraine decides for itself how to conduct hostilities".

▪️ Exactly three days earlier, the State Department's official Russian account had bravado: The RF Armed Forces are "suffering defeats at every level" and #Russia's "credibility on the international stage has been undermined."

📌 However, as soon as it became clear that the attack by Ukrainian saboteurs had been thwarted, and not at all parade photos of abandoned US equipment (very reminiscent of pictures of Americans fleeing #Afghanistan) appeared on the web, the State Department rhetoric changed dramatically to "this is not our weaponry".

It is one thing for Ukrainian troops to win tactical victories in the #Donbass, but quite another for #US equipment to be used to raid #Russia's "internationally recognised" borders. Republicans are already clinging to this, and voters will have a hard time explaining such irrational use of equipment.

⚡️🇺🇦🇺🇸👻 Lloyd Austin lies shamelessly about US Equipment Losses⚡️

☠️ @Rybar: Losses of Western equipment handed over to Ukrainian formations were also noticed in the #Pentagon. But they reacted in a very peculiar way. US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin said that only 5 vehicles had actually been destroyed, which had simply been filmed "a thousand times from different angles".

We, of course, modestly remain silent about the fact that in only one shot from #Zaporozhye direction one can see as many as 9 hit Bradley IFVs. As well as the fact that the AFU reliably lost at least 101 vehicles, some of which are geolocated on our map. For #Pentagon representatives it is, by the way, available in 👉 🇬🇧 English version.

The thing is different: Long-time readers of our channel remember how we used to criticize the national defence ministry for its clumsy handling of information. And here the #US and its allies demonstrate exactly the same thing with even more ridiculous excuses and idiotic phrases about "environmentally unjustified" maneuvers.

📌 However, against the background of demonstrated quality and bias of foreign analytics on the #SMO over a year it is not even particularly surprising!
