In the Russian Federation, a managed mine was created quite complex in their mechanism. Mine is activated with sensors that identify and track the target. At some point, it releases a subboo -trim, which is aimed at the upper hemisphere, which is the least protected. The mine works at a distance of 50 meters and has to hit the target at an angle of 30 degrees. The weight of the mine is 19. 9 kg, and it is necessary to install it manually and it is a rather complex process.
However, there are doubts how effective the PTKM-1R power supply, which has a stated activity rate up to 10 days. The main task of a managed measure is to help create "fire bags" or ambushes. Therefore, mines should be installed so that it attacks 3-4 cars in the column and in conditions when there is no room for maneuver. In fact, the Russian PTKM-1R, according to Defense Express, is an analogue of the American M93 Hornet times of the Cold War.
It was created in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany for use in the "Fulden Corridor" to minimize quantitative advantage in armored vehicles in the Warsaw Treaty. Only 446 mines were produced throughout the time, because they were expensive over $ 110,000 per unit, and after the collapse of the USSR, the need for such devices was disappeared.
