It's cool, but... Isn't it Ukrainian soil? How are they going to clean this nightmare fodder junk after the victory? I'm just terrified by these things.

These ones can be similar to PFM-1S, which have self destruct time mechanism.

Calculated risk. Even the self destruct can and will fail for some units

This battalion operates near the border, so hopefully it's not as common in other areas.
