Rare Underwater Footage Released! Unveiling the Secret Weapon for "Hunting" Sea Mines
Bottom Mine
Just as its name suggests
It sinks directly to the bottom after being deployed
The complex underwater environment
Provides it with better concealment
To clear a bottom mine
You must first detect it
At this point, the
“Eagle Eye” on the Kunshan ship needs to step in!
Watch the video↓ for a direct look at the “hunting” mine action
The mine-hunting mode of the Kunshan ship
Can be described as “point-to-point”
Once a target is found
It immediately goes for the “kill”
The equipment for “killing” mines is called mine neutralizer
Although it is not large, it is very heavy
It requires crew members to cooperate with a crane
For lifting and recovery
Bottom Mine
Is a type of non-contact mine
It can be triggered by magnetic, acoustic, or water pressure methods
When a vessel approaches or passes over the mine
It may detonate even without contact
When clearing this type of non-contact mine
The mine neutralizer can not only eliminate it precisely
But also minimize the danger during mine sweeping
To eliminate the complex and dangerous bottom mine
The mine neutralizer needs to carry an important weapon
Which is a bomb
Capable of destroying the powerful bottom mine
At the moment the hook is released
The mine neutralizer “swims” into the water
Diving quickly towards the target
With the order to drop the bomb given
The bomb accurately hits the target
The bottom mine is successfully destroyed
