According to her, for the first time in the 31 years of its independence, Ukraine has established the production of its own 82mm fragmentation mines [image]. In order to secure the production cycle and labor teams, production was launched at the capacities of partner countries.[...] "We managed to increase the number of fragments by 2-2.5 times. During tests on a shield target at a distance of five meters from the epicenter of the explosion, we counted almost 460 fragments, while the regular Soviet mine has 198 fragments. At a distance of 10-15 meters, the number of affected elements was also many times greater. Therefore, the Ukrainian ["]mine["], which is designed to destroy enemy personnel at a distance of 4,500 meters, will be more effective," Sad said.
