Ryan Hendrickson @tipofthespear42 does a remote pull to safely detonate a deadly OZM-72 bounding anti-personnel landmine.
The OZM-72 is my humbled opinion is the most dangerous antipersonal mine in Ukraine. Oftentimes tripwire activated, this bounding mine is extremely lethal for humans and animals. When mechanically initiated the OZM-72 can stay armed for years, waiting for its victims. Finding and
