Never have I ever wanted someone’s stupidity to result in a Darwin Award.
What could possibly go wrong?
Just natural selection at work, carry on
These front line material idiots belong right at r/russian circus
maybe its full of gold
How stupid are they?
Crazy people, maybe they have a death wish 👍😁
Yeah this looks like a bad idea. And fucking with explosives usually is. But such a mine doesn’t explode that easy. It’s like standing on a AT mine, not the best idea, but you should be fine.
So many Darwin-prize winners in one pack!
Toto riinas Family died nearly the same way😂 and now hes remembered as the worst mob boss in history of mafia
Stupid level: Russia
Holy fuck, are they that fucking stupid?
And this is how the russians invented the measure of stupidity: stupid as one russian, as two russians…
Are they really THAT STUPID???????
Ruzzians….. omg
Brave or stupid mmmmmm
Now all that is missing is a orc with a hammer
What a bunch of morons.
They are truly orcs. No significant brain activity. No sense of risk. Absolutely nothing. Storm Z next?
Maybe hit it with a sledgehammer to open it. There will be a surprise! Like a Kinder egg!
LOOK ORG, BLORG FOUND SPIKY THING. WHAT THING IS? SMASH ROCK AND SEE
Ruzzian roulette, but with higher stakes. Everybody dies
This ist Just stupid. No sane person would roll this thing around. Normal procedure would be evacuating the beach, tape a block of C4 to the mine and render it harmless in place.
As long as they don’t have metal legs, this mine won’t be a problem. Unfortunately.
That sea mine explodes when in contact. The spikes are thin with glass vials inside. If the spikes brake the glass vial releases a fluids making battery contact and the mine detonates. I guess it’s not impossible to that happen when dragging it on the ground like that…
Imagine how stupid the average russian is, then realize half of them are dumber than that
😮😮😮😮😮🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
Literally the most Russian thing, ever.
“We are lucky, that they are so fucking stupid”
Hey Ivan I am sure you have to hit it with a stick!
While this is undeniably stupid and should not be done. But it might not be as dangerous as people make it out to be in the comments.
The pressure required to trigger a sea mine explosion depends on the type of mine. There are various activation mechanisms, including pressure, magnetic, acoustic, and contact triggers.
1. Pressure-triggered mines: These sea mines are designed to react to the pressure difference caused by passing ships. The exact pressure depends on the size and depth of the ship. Larger ships create higher pressure, which can activate the mine. The pressure needed to trigger a mine is often in the range of several kilopascals (kPa). 2. Magnetic mines: These mines respond to the magnetic fields of ships, so they don’t rely on physical water pressure but instead detect changes in the magnetic field. 3. Acoustic mines: They are activated by the sound generated by ships, such as from engines or movement. 4. Contact mines: These mines explode upon direct contact with a ship. They typically have spikes or extensions that trigger the explosion when they are physically touched or crushed by a vessel. These were commonly used in World War I and II.
The specific pressure threshold required for a mine to explode varies based on its design and operational settings. Pressure mines are typically set to be sensitive only to larger ships, not small boats or marine life.
Now the question is is that a contact mine from WWI and WWII? Might be, might not be. In anyway this is still stupid as fuck and nobody should do it I just figured I use this post to educate on sea mines.
Edit: If this is a soviet era contact mine that shit is fucking dabgerous though. Most contact mines have protruding horns or prongs called Hertz horns, which contain a glass vial filled with an acid. When a ship hits the mine, the vial is crushed, releasing the acid to initiate the detonation process. The amount of force required to break these vials varies but is typically around 5 to 15 kilograms of pressure (about 50 to 150 Newtons). This force can be generated by the hull of a ship pressing against the mine.
Most naval mines don’t trigger on contact, but rather from magnetic sensing or reflection of radio from a sufficiently large metal body. as long as they don’t roll it past a stranded battleship, they should be fine.
Speechless 🤣🤣🤣
i can hear simon pegg from hot fuzz……..
Man I was hoping that thing went off
They saw a challenge and rolled with it
Nobody said ‘Hey, that might be dangerous..’
Presumably there is a 2nd video of them trying to open it with hammers, there isn’t a 3rd
They tickle the dragon’s tail.
Are they just stupid in general or what?
Waited for the explosion. What a disapointing video 😞

Clever.
Russian holiday makers doing Russian holiday makers things.
Pretty sure we all wish that ended differently…

“Stupid Russians” is a pleonasm.
What if it explodes? It’s okay. We have another.
