Both projectiles are used with the M577 or M577A1 Mechanical Time and Superquick (MTSQ) fuze, which triggers the ejection mechanism of the mines above enemy territory after a preset time.^[2]
Development of RAAMS dates to around 1980.^[1]
These mines can be delivered at ranges from 4 to 17.6 kilometres (2.5 to 10.9 mi) from theartillery batteryposition using either theM109series orM198orM777series howitzers.^[3]
By January 2023, the US had sent approximately 10,200 rounds to Ukraine since the start of theRussian invasion of Ukrainein February 2022.

not sure how helpufl
might be indicative but big range
also mentions "self destruct " so not there forever

Cheers. Some info here on the Russian version. Seems similar range 5-15km.
