My question: Who can see the video and who cannot see the video ?

I can see the video but thats only if you have facebook. The effect was quite surprising even worse if you trod on the mine on your heel of your foot , would take your lower leg off and blow the rubbish further up, nasty.

I don't use Facebook, have a Facebook account, nor do I use social media in general, but Facebook data, unless private, can be viewed if you know how.

Right click on the link (URL) and, if you have the choice which is dependant on your browser, choose 'Open In New Private Window'. Other browser may have a differ option/wording if they support private windows. That or manually copy the URL and then just open a 'Private Window' and paste the URL in, and hit return.

In the new 'Private Window', accept all cookies, and then just click the circled 'X' instead of logging in. This was using Firefox. This will work for a few images/videos/etc., but after that the process has to be repeated, as your limited Facebook viewing access has ended.

As to the effect, the mine looks to be what is commonly referred to as the Ukrainian Gingerbread (Пряник) anti-personnel blast (effect) mine. This improvised (3D-printed) mine is normally UAV-dropped and contains around 30 g of plastic explosive

The mine's main charge is initiated by the stabbing of a detonator by a simple screw. The detonator is commonly taken from the high explosive incendiary (HEI) projectile of the modern version of the MDZ (МДЗ) 12.7x108 small arms round.

I have no facebook but I can see the video. Problems with reels are generally browser related. I know that soemtimes I need to switch from Chrome to edge (That I don't like) to solve some similar problems.
The effect is sadly much conform to reality - amputation of the forefoot are the usual consequences of troding on such mines.
This is not the worst case situation as, if efficient in a military optic, in putting a soldier out of action, the functional consequences of such an amputation are relatively minor.
Sadly most mines have a heavier charge and some degree of fragmentation effect that cause more consequent damage, leading to extensive foot/leg amputations or even death, and have always a huge negative impact on the vital and functional prognosis.
BTW it would be interesting to check what will happen with such a "mini-mine" if, instead of a "soft shoe" used, the above experiment was done with a regular standard army shoe which structure includes a plate of metal inside the sole (a patent initially devised as a protection against viet-cong booby traps) and a metallic (or at least reinforced) toe cap ( similar to the one that exists in construction worker shoes).
