When TNT is exposed to fire it burns fiercely, as with this Russian TM-62M anti-tank mine found by Ukrainian soldiers.

The Russians recovered a Czech PT-Mi-Ba3 anti-tank mine.
It is based on the Russian TM-62P with an unpainted Bakelite body.
Together with a Czech RO-2 fuze the only steel parts are a small striker pin and spring.

The Italian hand grenade M14 “Lenticolare” (lenticular) from WW1.
The grenade had a cast iron body in the form of a lens, with a wick fuse that the soldier had to set on fire before throwing it.

Ukrainian EOD technicians use a remote controlled mine roller to assist in the painstaking clearance of their farm fields.
This would be particularly useful for small surface anti-personnel mines like the PFM-1, when the technicians assess that anti-tank mines are not present.

When the top of the box is pressed down it forces the pin out of an MUV-2 mechanical fuze, setting off a 200g TNT charge.

This simple device is one of the most widely used land mines in the world.
The Russian PMD-6 is a locally made anti-personnel mine, often made of wood, but the Russians claim both sides are using sheet metal versions.

An interesting improvised drone Ukrainian munition.
It is made of plastic pipe filled with high explosive, with both ends capped with a hemispheric half from a ShOAB-0.5 submunition casing.
The fuze is an EDP-r, the standard Russian-made electrically initiated fuze.

A handsome improvised HE fragmentation munition with a contact fuze, from a Ukrainian drone.
I admire how the ball bearings were so neatly applied.
How did they do that?

The DM-51 is a copy of the Swedish FFV-028.
It has a magnetic fuze that measures changes in the earth's magnetic field caused by a nearby metal mass, and then fire an explosively-formed-projectile (EFP).
This is intended to penetrate the hull and destroy enemy tanks.

“The enemy has even more chances to remain as fertilizer on Ukrainian land.”

Between fire missions a Ukrainian M777 crew proudly displays their new supporter-funded, anti-FPV EW jammers, that give vital protection to their lives and health.
