Installing the detonator is the second to last thing to do, camouflaging the mine being the last.
I counted some 20ish mines spread evenly on the deck of that BMP. That"s some 100kg of TNT in an environment where one of the main entertainment of Ukrainian drone drivers is dropping mortar rounds on RuZZians...
I just can't get my head around why on earth they'd transport mines like that, tied down all across the vehicle. I'd prefer them in their boxes as well, at least it would allow two men to quickly create a blockade but now they'd have to untie them separately.
I must admit, I feel no dismay at the hazardous practices on display. I would much prefer Russian forces personnel to annihilate themselves than any Ukrainian, military or civilian.
I am aware that war brings an awful, bloody loss of life. I have been mildly surprised at how fast I started to negate the value of the Russian forces' lives in this war. So be it. The sooner this is over, the better.
