In order to slow down the offensive of Russian troops in Artemovsk and its environs, Ukrainian formations use rare German anti-tank mines PARM 2 (DM-22). RIA told about it News fighter PMC "Wagner", participating in hostilities in this area.
According to the "Wagnerian", German-made mines are being installed by Ukrainian servicemen along the forest belts. The main task is to hit with their help the moving armored vehicles of the Russian troops. Such mines work on the principle of laser interruption, after which the projectile is activated. Recently, such mines are found in Artemovsk more and more often.
Occurs frequently. Unfortunately for the enemy, it is easy enough to disable it, but it is very easy to hide.
- the PMC fighter emphasized in an interview with RIA News.
Recall that the German-made PARM 1 (DM-12) and PARM 2 (DM-22) are directional anti-tank mines. They strike with the help of a 128-mm cumulative grenade with an infrared or acoustic fuse, military equipment, which is located at a distance of 5 to 100 meters.
The Western press previously reported that mines of this type began to be supplied by NATO countries to Ukraine back in 2022. Probably, the Ukrainian command decided to use them in the currently most difficult direction - in Artemovsk and its environs. However, as the fighters of the Russian troops note, such mines are quite easily neutralized.
