⚡️Two More Darwin Award Candidates.

Two Russians sadly survived a botched disarming of an OZM-72 AP mine.

After removing the detonator plug for the main charge, the MUV-4 fuze detonated during removal, apparently igniting the much smaller charge that lifts the mine before it explodes.

The MUV-4 is a mechanical fuze usually tripwired as in this video.

It does not detonate the main charge in the powerful OZM-72, but first ignites an expelling charge that shoots the mine up in the air.

When a 0.9m tether tautens, it initiates detonation of the main charge.
