A video shows two British Barmines being described by a Ukrainian instructor
A further report shows a Barmine in the field, with damage - possibly from a rifle shot
Both types appear to be L9A1 or L9A2, fitted with L89A1 single-impulse pressure fuzes
In the field report, a black box is also visible, presumed to be associated with the mine
This is not a standard add-on fuze but appears to incorporate electronics, so possibly a locally-manufactured add-on fuze.
