Description
This mine is similar to the German Tellermine 43. The sheet steel case has a raised pressure plate on its top side. A wooden cylinder remains in the main fuze well while the mine is in transport. Two additional wells are provided for boobytrapping - one in the side and the other in the bottom of the mine. A ring fitted with a threaded lug that screws into the side fuze well serves as a carrying handle.
This mine is used in roadblocks and defense systems to damage the tracks of armored vehicles.
