It is part of a series of new electronic fuzes being developed and deployed by the Russian armed forces in Ukraine in an effort to copy the success of the Ukrainian Johnny and Verba series of programmable, multi-sensor fuzes, as well as improve upon older Russian/Soviet designs. The DTsM-1 LA60 was initially reported in a bulletin by Fenix Insight in July 2025, with a further update reported in September 2026.
