Ukrainian military personnel have published the only video at the moment, dismantling an American Mk 25 sea bottom mine from the Second World War. It is not clear when the mines were received by Ukraine and why. The mine is dropped from an airplane or ship, it can also be used as a bomb, it is worth noting that it is now difficult for Ukraine to use them. Presumably the warhead of the mine will be used to equip FPV drones. The Mk 25 aircraft bottom magnetic mine was adopted by the United States in 1943. The mine weighs 900 kg, contains from 508 to 578 kg of explosives and has a clock activation mechanism.
