Hey - a big part of life is learning from your mistakes. That guy, for example, will probably never do that again.

Due to its high sensitivity to changes in the magnetic field, the mine may be triggered by individuals, along with vehicles. If no target has been detected, the mine self-destructs after the completion of the self-liqudation period.

Fun fact: The PTM-3 produces shaped charge explosions on 5 of its 6 faces. All 4 sides and 1 of the ends.
