1394-417

Description

This mine is a non-metallic anti-personnel mine, designed to prevent detection by means of mine detectors. The only metallic parts used in its construction are the detonator, spring, balls, and striker.

The mine consists of two principal components: the loaded mine body and the fuze mechanism.

Due to the non-metallic construction of this mine and the small area, it will be very difficult to detect this mine either with detectors or by probing.
