Standard time fuse is still in common use in all types of demolitions fyi. There's actually a NATO STANAG for it.

I didn't know that, I thought this was obsolete tech.

Adm_Drummer@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Nope! It's still used almost everywhere. Commonly used as a backup on demolition setups like a ring-main.

Not so sure about civilian applications in demolitions or pyrotechnics but most global militaries still use it from what I've read.

Not so sure about civilian applications

Well my annoying neighbors 17 year old kid must have like 10 fucking miles of it, and uses it constantly to set off sugar smoke bombs he cooks up in his mama's barn kitchen. Friggin hooligan

It's impressive the soldier can move so fast despite his absolutely massive balls of steel

Others were saying the trench was likely empty, what do you all think?

On one hand, why waste limited munitions? On the other, videos like these are good pr for Ukraine, and sometimes it can be hard to tell if the action is linked to the purported combat success.

Bottom line - only those soldiers know, and may they keep fighting on.

Slava Ukraini!

Wasting two mines, two grenades and a few bullets is nothing if it means saving just a single soldier. Russia is wasting its men, Ukraine doesn't.

MataVatnik@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

I don't think it matters, these are probably reclaimed mines from Russian fortifications, better be safe than sorry. I was just curious.

Pro tip, change “www.” In the url to “old.” get past the nsfw nanny filter

7heo@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 2y

Ah, I explicitly removed it for the clients (like infinity) so that they can fetch the video properly in the app, instead of opening the link in a browser and fail... Well, thanks for the protip, I didn't know. :)

Thanks for this! Didn't know

You dumbass, takes 17 lbs of pressure to detonate.

They are modified with time fuses.
