Description
The Mine E.P. Mk II consists of three principal parts: the loaded mine body, the mine cover, and the mine fuzing arrangement. The mine cover is mushroom-shaped and is attached to the mine body by four hooked straps, which engage a wire fastened to the bottom of the mine cover.
The mine body is a mushroom-shaped container with a central fuze well. On the side of the mine body near the base is located a channel which leads into the central well. This channel is closed by a small metal tab during shipment and storage.
This mine is used as a defense against armored cars, tanks, and other vehicles.
