Russian soldier cluelessly ploughs armoured vehicle into clearly visible landmines

The driver of a Russian armoured vehicle cluelessly ploughed into a row of clearly visible landmines and promptly blew himself up, in a new video from Ukraine that revealed the incompetence of Moscow’s army. In the short video clip posted online, the MT-LB vehicle is seen driving over a number of TM-62 anti-tank mines in Ukraine. Bafflingly, the mines in front of the vehicle are in plain sight of both the viewer and presumably the driver of the vehicle. In an instant, the vehicle disappears behind an enormous explosion, a fireball and clouds of smoke. A shell-shocked survivor from the vehicle is then seen sitting on the grass amid its scorched fragments, appearing to shake his head in surprise. Military experts say that anti-tank mines are usually buried so that they cannot be spotted by the drivers of armoured vehicles. It is unclear why they were left in the road in plain sight.
