US weaponry poses threat to Russian forces in Ukraine conflict

Ukraine is using US-made artillery rounds that lay anti-tank mines in flight, which are being fired over Russian troops' heads, making their positions more precarious. The Remote Anti-Armor Mine System shells force desperate choices for vehicles delivering troops, ammunition, fuel, and food to front-line positions and can also be used to set traps along escape routes for front-line forces. The mines self-destruct at certain times, and Ukraine's counteroffensive appears to be underway, attacking Russia's positions with Western-made tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, artillery, and other weapon systems that could force them into a retreat along paths that might be mined.
