The Ministry of Defense accused Kyiv of using anti-tank mines banned by the Geneva Convention

42

The Russian Ministry accused Kyiv of violating the requirements of the second Protocol "On the prohibition or restriction of the use of mines, booby-traps and other devices." This was stated by the official representative of the Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov.

As reported, French anti-tank mines EMP F72, delivered to Ukraine by one of the NATO countries as military assistance, were found at the positions of the Ukrainian army in Artemivske (Bakhmut), occupied by the 2nd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. These mines, after installation and transfer to a combat position, cannot be removed and neutralized. Thus, Kyiv and its Western sponsors directly violated the requirements of the Geneva Convention.



Their use is in direct violation of the requirements of the Second Protocol "On the Prohibition or Restriction of the Use of Mines, Booby-Traps and Other Devices", which is part of the Geneva Convention on the Prohibition or Restriction of the Use weapons indiscriminate action taken in New York on October 10, 1980.

- said in a statement to the Russian military.

According to Konashenkov, in total, soldiers of the allied forces found more than fifty French-made anti-tank mines at the positions recaptured from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Apparently, the command gave the order to the Ukrainian military to install these mines in the tank-prone areas, but they did not have time, because they were knocked out by the advancing forces of the allied forces. In the same report, the Ministry of Defense reported that the positions of the 72nd brigade near Artemovsk were hit by a concentrated artillery strike, which led to the destruction of more than 50 nationalists, as well as six armored vehicles. After that, the Armed Forces of Ukraine retreated from their positions, abandoning their weapons, and at the same time French mines.

          This question is utterly useless today. But there is another question, you didn't ask it, which means you don't understand what it is. This means that there is also time ... for now, to see what other prohibited weapons the Ukrainian clowns will put on the front line.

            This question is utterly useless today.

            In general, which of all the conventions signed as part of the establishment of the rules of war does the Kyiv regime pay attention to? Zelensky, it seems, is not at all guided by any documents, even those signed with his own hand. We, I think, all understand that it is the United States that is waging war against us through the hands of Ukrainians. But the whole paradox is that the Americans will never answer for anything, because everything is done by proxy. But the Ukrainians will answer in full. I think that the leadership of Ukraine should also be held responsible for war crimes, and the leaders of social movements for inciting ethnic discord and hatred.

              I completely agree. These killers are ready to destroy the entire population remaining in the territory they do not control, which they "defended" yesterday. They will definitely be sentenced by the tribunal. Although they can be sentenced now. There are plenty of facts.
              Yes, their American-British roof is likely to avoid a tribunal. But "God is not a fraer", and they will definitely be rewarded.
              I am not religious, therefore, of course, I prefer: "Trust in God, but don't make a mistake yourself either." wink
              In general, they will be responsible for everything, one way or another, but it will be. And this is what I believe.

          hi I suspect that the Armed Forces simply do not have the skills to plant these mines. And Western instructors were quickly pulled out of their positions when they smelled of fried food.

        You don't have to ask. It is necessary to put such mines and anti-aircraft weapons in those countries where there are French bases or peacekeepers. A couple of columns will be blown up, our mines will be found and they themselves will come to ask.

        So France does not apply. You won't blame the rifle salesman for the murder. You will either accuse him of illegal arms trafficking, or you won’t accuse him of anything at all, if he has all the permits and the killer had all the necessary documents and certificates when buying.

You can already apply to Sportloto with concern about the shelling of nuclear power plants. There are no rules for waging war there, in general there are no rules in war - only the enemy is dead.

      Such a sickly anti-mine mine:
      Moving metal objects (shovel, weapons, etc.) near the mine can lead to an explosion.
      Searching for a mine using an electromagnetic metal detector (metal detector) unambiguously leads to a mine explosion.
      The movement of the mine, its inclination lead to the explosion of the mine.
      Voltage drops (decrease in efficiency) of power supplies lead to a mine explosion.

      Self-neutralization of the mine is carried out after 30 days using the built-in timer.
      The design of the mine allows, after self-neutralization, to remove it and send it to the factory for reloading.

      * if the target is above the bottom of the mine, then first the black powder discharge charge is triggered, which discards the masking layer of soil, and after 100 milliseconds the main shaped charge is triggered, which pierces the bottom of the armored vehicle.
      *if the target is above a mine, a caterpillar or a wheel, then only the main charge is triggered, which damages the caterpillar or wheel with its high-explosive action.

      Note. On the bottom of the tank, the mine works quite successfully, but if the tank runs into a caterpillar, then the mine works like a high-explosive one, since there are no conditions for the formation of a cumulative jet. For such cases, its charge is insufficient. He will not be able to kill the caterpillar of a modern tank. Damage - yes. It is possible that after some time this will lead to a break in the caterpillar. But when?

      The Ministry of Defense blamed Yes, that's the WHOLE HISTORY OF WARS WITH RUSSIA, Europe and the West, they wanted to spit on the conventions signed and invented by them and other humanitarian rights. We alone are like them in the world and adhere to because of fear and the eternal question, what will they say about us there in Europe if we suddenly do something. How many of these violations have already been going on since the Napoleonic wars.
