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
