A new Russian, electronic fuze has been displayed in Ukraine, fitted to a shortened PTM-3 (Ru: ПТМ-3) for delivery by UAV
The fuze is designated DTsM-1 LA60 (Ru: ДЦМ-1 ЛА60), and is assumed to be connected to an electrically-initiated detonator
The known details are:
- Arming delay – 3 min.
- Self-destruct – 7 days
To save mass for delivery by UAV, the standard VT-06 (Ru: ВТ-06) fuze of the PTM-3 is removed, a section is then cut out and the two ends welded together to shorten the body
