'near Borodyanka of Kyiv region' At the beginning of the SMO. Looks to be the main road to the east, but can't find the exact location on google streetview.

Those mines will blow a hole in a tank. A car would evaporate.

Those look like 60’s movie props. Fake and gay.

Those 60's movie props were made to look like real anti-tank mines.

Aren't they activated magnetically?

Pressure, movement, sound, magnetism and vibration are types of mine triggers. Anti-foot mines typically use the pressure of the foot as the trigger. (or the knee, as in that infamous video from the 'Bradley Square' debacle)

This might be real, but it could also be very easily and inexpensively faked.

The question I have is why? Why throw a bunch of mines out in the open like that? It’s stupid and that’s why I can’t believe that is real. Any other time you see razor wire and shit like jersey walls.

Could be, but they've also just shot people in their cars, and slaughtered tons of civilians.

Why not just move them and toss them over the side ??

This was a week or two after Russia started the SMO, and the guys are presumably some type of military or militia at an anti-Russian checkpoint. Russians were near and at Kiev, so the threat in Borodyanka would have seemed real.

When Boris flew in to convince elensky to suicide the country instead of coming to terms, the Russians withdrew to a supportable combat line and this was probably removed.

Ahh, makes sense.
They should just declare it a non vodka and borscht zone.
