These detonator “antennas” became practically one of the symbols of the war in #Ukraine. The general idea is simple but I can only imagine how much know-how is there in the material choice, design, mechanics, QA and arming procedures…

@kravietz huh, first time I consciously notice them. Do I get it right that when the whisker touches the coil the payload detonates?

@robryk

Precisely. I’ve seen a significant evolution for the last two years until they settled on this design. If you think about it, it requires really a lot of testing to get it right, granted they are operated at battlefield under different weather conditions and in large volumes.
