Description
The MON-100 is a cylindrical directional fragmentation mine designed by the former Soviet Union. It consists of a metallic case containing an explosive charge, steel fragments, and a metal stand. The 400 cylindrical steel fragments (10 mm x 10mm) are embedded in a plastic matrix in front of the explosive. The mine can be attached to any fixed object or mounted on its own metal stake. The MON-100 can be functioned by a tripwire, a break-wire or command detonated (including by a variety of minefield control devices) and has a lethal range of 100 meters. At 100 meters, 50% of the fragments will strike within 5 meters of the mines aiming point. The MON-100 can be used singly or as part of an integrated explosive barrier. The mine is not only effective against dismounted infantry, but also lightly armored vehicles.
The mine is OD green.
