The ground is full of dead leaves, but there is a hidden killing machine
In order to effectively attack the enemy's camp on the battlefield, the rear military production also continues to develop new weapons to restrain the enemy, and even sometimes make quite cruel weapons of destruction, the small thing that looks like a toy in the picture is actually a cluster mine used by the US military during the Vietnam War and the Afghan War, called BLU-43B Dragontooth (Dragon's Tooth), its main function is not to kill, but to make enemy soldiers half dead.
The dragon's tooth is 7.5 cm long and 4.5 cm wide, can be loaded with 9 grams of explosives, shaped like the shape of a butterfly, so it is also called "butterfly thunder", usually spread widely on the ground by aircraft, as long as it bears a weight of 5 kg, it will explode, because its amount of gunpowder is not much, and it is not enough to kill people after explosion, but it will make soldiers blow up their feet.
The purpose of this is because the wounded soldiers will need teammates and medical personnel to rescue, but also to the logistics units more pressure on the work, consume more manpower and material resources than direct death, and later the Soviet Union also imitated the dragon's teeth of the US army to make PFM-1, which is much larger than the dragon's teeth, gunpowder loaded with up to 37 grams, so the lethality is more than four times that of the dragon's teeth.
Because it is a large number of airdrops on the ground, manual mine clearance is also quite time-consuming and laborious, and the danger is extremely high, manufacturers sometimes deliberately make it into bright colors, unsuspecting people see accidental accidental touch will cause casualties, and even local children may pick it up as a toy and be injured.
