    More importantly, how did it go boom? Was it rigged to something to trigger it? Because those things won’t go off even if you step on them.

      As the last still I could capture shows the flash coming from the left, it might actually be something else exploding than the three mines the soldier is dragging.

        That’s just rolling shutter from the camera. The sensor is blown out and the next frame is completely white it just starts capturing the data on that side.

        Explosion could’ve happened anywhere in front of the camera for that to happen.

      That’s a very good question.

      I checked the specs of the TM-62, the standard fuze should require a pressure of 1500-5500N (150-550kg) to detonate. So the dragging should not have triggered it, unless the fuze was faulty - which would not be impossible considering the subpar quality of the Russian gear.
