That photo looks staged as they should glide and disperse rather than clump together.
Recently collected and put together for photo surely?

Interesting, thanks for pointing this out.
The guy who shared this (Jonas Ohman) works in a respectable organisation (blue/yellow) which already sent around €35M to soldiers in the front lines and constantly posts content from there.
These must be broken in some way then so they don't explode - I don't think he would spread fake news.

In the interest of balance, Ukraine still has over 5 million of these exact mines stockpiled. A few scattered in a photo doesn't mean a lot. That photo looks staged as they should glide and disperse rather than clump together. My understanding is that once they've been deployed they can't be picked up/used/deactivated - they can only explode. So these have likely not been armed.
