During the tests, the operator flew to the target and manually activated the explosion and destroyed the target for a directed fee. The tests took place on the basis of the Forterier in Alabam with the participation of the 173rd Air Brigade, the National Guard of Pennsylvania and the US Army Center.
Developed in the 1950s, the Claymore mine is usually activated by stretching or manual explosives. When triggered, it throws approximately 700 steel balls that surprise the targets up to 250 meters. The new method of use makes it effective not only against ground objects, but also against air targets.
Experts say that the use of a drone with a mine shows that old technologies can be adapted to modern military tasks.
