Description
This mine has no case. It consists of three sections of cast TNT reinforced with glass wool (about 5 percent by weight). These include a pressure-plate section, a central core that holds the fuze and detonator, and an outer clamping ring that holds the first two sections together. Every part of the mine except the plastic fuze well plug, booster container, and fuze is explosive. It is not locatable by conventional electronic detectors. This mine has two secondary fuze wells; one located in the side and one located in the bottom.
This is an undetectable mine designed to damage the tracks of medium and heavy armor.
