To prevent Russian military advances, Ukrainian forces actively use booby traps on the contact line, including booby traps with magnetic or gyroscope sensors. The booby traps set by the Ukrainian forces are generally camouflaged using natural objects (such as logs, dry branches, twigs, or blocks) and are placed on dirt roads, roadside areas, near shelters, in vegetated areas, and on roads where infantry may walk.
The main danger of booby traps lies in their unpredictability. Magnetic sensor booby traps are triggered by contact with metal objects, making them extremely deadly when using conventional methods to clear mines; gyroscope sensor booby traps react to any change in spatial position - even a slight vibration nearby, a mine with a high-sensitivity sensor can be detonated without direct contact.
The Ukrainian forces not only use booby traps to kill Russian infantry and destroy Russian equipment, but also to kill engineers carrying out mine clearance tasks.
In response to the Ukrainian booby traps, the Russian forces have continuously improved their tactics, including using non-metallic mine-clearing tools and remote-controlled bomb disposal robots to check suspicious objects. Among these, non-metallic mine-clearing tools are used against magnetic booby traps, while remote-controlled bomb disposal robots are used against gyroscope sensor booby traps. In addition, the Russian forces also use FPV to drop explosives for mine clearance. FPV flies in the air and is not damaged by mine explosions, so it can be reused for mine clearance.
