The AFU received rare French anti-tank mines HPD-2A2
According to military analyst @UAWeapons, Ukrainian defenders have received rare weapons.
What we know
We are talking about French anti-tank mines HPD-2A2. The mine is activated by a magnetic field that detonates a shaped charge when a vehicle passes nearby. According to the manufacturer, HPD-2A2 is capable of penetrating 150 millimeter armor. Moreover, it can be buried up to 1.5 meters deep.
Sorry for the typo - of course HPD-2A2, not HDP ????

HPD-2A2 includes a manipulation protection device that is sensitive to movement and signals generated by mine detectors. As of 2006, about 400,000 HPD-2 series mines have been created. It is used by the French, Belgian and Norwegian armies. It is also produced under license in Switzerland for the Swiss Army as Panzerabwehrmine 88 (aka Pzaw Mi 88).
Here is the result of the HDP2A2 being deployed- according to the source, this is what left of a Russian tank after it was blown up on a mine and then finished off with an AT launcher.pic.twitter.com/ZC6sBVkuKV
