PTM-3s are being dropped by uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) in Ukraine, wrapped in sheets for camouflage​. ​

  • Sensors have been added to detect:​

    • Movement (accelerometer and gyroscope)​

    • Magnetic flux (magnetometer)​

    • Light (photocell)​

  • Movement sensors provide anti-handling feature for infantry​

  • PTM-3 already features a magnetic influence (MI) fuze, it is unclear whether the magnetometer replaces or enhances this​

  • The photocell provides a further anti-handling features as it initiates the mine upon the uncovering of the sheet, allowing light to be detected by the sensor​
