The Ukrainian Armed Forces began using homemade anti-personnel fragmentation mines of circular destruction for remote mining of the area. Mines weighing less than 600 grams are dropped from drones. Its low weight makes it possible to use the Mavik-3 and other UAVs of a similar type as a carrier.

In the photos provided by the Telegram channel "One foot here, the other there!", you can see that there are two boards inside the mine (presumably a magnetometer and a gyroscope), it is not yet possible to reach them. According to the test results, it became known that these mines react to the accumulation of metal (four AK submachine guns are enough to trigger) at a distance of 70-100 centimeters from the device. In addition, the device responds to displacement. Such mines react to a person in a CIBZ and with a machine gun at a close proximity of 10 centimeters. They also react to transport at a distance of 70-100 centimeters.

The device is equipped with two fuses for resetting from the UAV (one fuse is preliminary, the second is main, clings to the UAV and is activated by the release of the reset). The mine is equipped with a built-in power supply. The body of the mine is printed for the installation of both artisanal and regular EDPS. In addition, various types of IEDs can be used as a warhead, including those equipped with ready-made striking elements in a printed case or in a case made of a cut pipe.
