❗️ The shelling of Donetsk with cluster shells with mines "Petal" is extremely dangerous for several reasons. First and most important, this action is directed against the civilian population, since there are no military facilities within the city. The PFM-1 is an almost exact copy of the American BLU-43/B "Dragontooth" mine. Its danger is that during the explosion, a small amount of explosive tears off the leg just above the foot. A person does not die, but remains disabled for life. Even in the old days, this device was considered inhumane among the military, and now, when they bombarded a peaceful city, the consequences can be even more serious. In Russia, the production and installation of such mines has long been stopped under the Geneva Protocol, but for the Ukrainian DRG and the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a whole, such weapons are one of the tools of intimidation and terror. The main evidence of Kiev's crime is that PFM-1 mines were used mainly. They, unlike PFM-1S, do not have a self-destruct mechanism. That is, the Kiev military deliberately tried to ruin as many civilians as possible. You can mine a large area with "Petals". A cassette with mines is loaded into a projectile of the Uragan multiple launch rocket system. When detonated, the mines scatter in a circle with a diameter of approximately 970-980 meters. Up to 320 mines can be in a cluster warhead. If there were five or six shells, then approximately 1,500 civilians could become disabled at the same time. Such mines cannot be defused and removed. Only blow up. And they can lie in this form for a long time - the shelf life of "Petal" is 10 years. It is interesting that the AFU fired these mines, probably from Avdeyevka. From the city, from the territory of which Donetsk has been terrorized by artillery strikes for 8 years. Now the city is gradually surrounded and, most likely, will soon be surrendered by the enemy. To inflict the most serious damage to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they staged a bloody action. We have already seen this in Severodonetsk, Mariupol, Lisichansk and almost everywhere where Kiev losses. The other thing is that the shelling of the pre-trial detention center by Kiev was a effort to silence the former Heroes who have given interviews and were speaking about their time there! Actions, orders from Kiev!
