In another version the mines is seen with an improvised tail fine made from a length of pipe and a plastic water bottle so it falls straight down,with a larger fuse positioned next to the tail. This appears to be dropped via a sling system and is more accurate than the earlier version. Technically it should be possible to use these drones to lay minefields, hovering lower and placing mines directly on the ground. Like the artillery-deliveredThe power of the TM-62 can make it hazardous to the drone dropping it: the massive mine has a far greater danger radius than a small grenade. The operators are clearly aware of this, and the time taken for the mines to hit the target in the TM-62 bombing videos suggests that they are being dropped from altitudes of several hundred feet.
