Description

The HB-876 is a scatterable antitank mine which has a dual purpose warhead which will penetrate the belly of lightly armored vehicles and produce high velocity slugs designed to damage personnel and equipment near the mine. The mine is delivered from the JP-233 and Hades submunition dispensers and was developed primarily for airfield denial. The unique design of the self righting legs should force the orientation of the warhead to destroy any mine clearing equipment trying the move the mine.

The mine is painted OD green.
