Say something on the paper

In addition to deliberately planted landmines on the old battlefield, there are usually more unexploded ordnance, also called UXO. A
batch of ammunition may have been detonated, and the rest may have been silent or ten years later. The
largest UXO in the world should be in Messina. The British dug 21 pits to put explosives in World War I, and detonated 19. Forty years later, another one was detonated by lightning. The remaining one is still unknown (so it is said Local house prices are very cheap!). These are more harmful than mere landmines in terms of hazards....

too far...



so how do textbooks teach infantry teams without specialized equipment to get out of this type of problem?

First assume that there is more than one. A landmine, so everyone stayed in place.
If the patrolling team encounters an attack, it will notify the contact and immediately disperse the formation to counterattack, but if the notification password is mine, then everyone must immediately remain in place, no matter what happens.

Secondly, some people opened up a passage back in place, and some people approached the injured.
In the absence of mine detectors, you can only use bayonet and other hand-carried individual tools. The blade is horizontally searched at an angle of not more than 30 degrees to gradually open a channel close to the wounded. If it encounters a hard object, it will be in contact. Tap to dig to identify whether it is a stone or a man-made object.
Assuming that you are still in a minefield before retreating 50 meters to the original route, you can disband the formation after retreating 50 meters.
PS: The use of bayonet in the film is not standardized, and the way of cleaning the floating soil by hand is at least equivalent to nothing in most cases.

Rescue the injured.
First, search around and under the injured person's body. Secondly, clear the space around the wounded person to put a stretcher. Then came rescue and evacuation.
Use hemostatic dressings and morphine on the injured, and use tourniquets if necessary. The use of morphine and tourniquets must show details such as the time of use on the forehead or abdomen and other easily identifiable locations. This is to facilitate the medical staff who took over to understand the information.
The tourniquet should be used as close to the heart as possible, but understand that the position of the tourniquet is likely to be the amputation position.

The plot of bag throwing in the movie may not have any meaning in the actual situation, because the weight of a tactical backpack is usually around 10 to 20kg, while the weight of an adult is as high as 80kg. For example, the most common M14 in troubled areas, the trigger pressure stated in the manual is 9 to 16kg, then it is very likely that a backpack will be thrown in and it will be fine, but if people step on it, it will explode.
And if it is a long-lived unexploded object, it is more likely that a trigger fails but gradually approaches the trigger as the number of external forces increases.


In many cases, cleaning up UXO on site will quickly open up a channel by detonating index explosion, but this method has certain usage restrictions.
And in fact, there are many landmines designed to prevent such cleaning methods. The impact duration caused by external detonation is extremely short. If the detonation device of a landmine is equipped with a buffer device, a relatively long-lasting pressure (pulse vs. platform) is required. Then the blasting method is likely to fail. In order to achieve the maximum killing effect, more modern landmines are equipped with simple memory devices. For example, in order to avoid low-value targets and detonate high-value vehicles, they need to trigger several signals to detonate at the same time, or in order to cause damage to the moving column. Greater chaos will only detonate after receiving a certain number of triggers....

If landmines and UXO are really so good, the tourism industry in Turkey and Myanmar may have been on a higher level.


Of course, for landmines It is different from the processing method for ied. A simple summary of the IED method is V word search and 0-5-25 search, which will be discussed later.
