1519-303

Description

This mine is made in two sizes. This plastic model, because of the small amount of metal in the striker, is locatable by small metals electronic detectors. It has three standard fuze wells and two for boobytrapping devices: one in the bottom for an antidisturbance fuze and one in the side of the mine. It is said that the mine functions at temperatures ranging from -5° to + 140° F. Its small pressure surface makes it resistant to detonation by antimine devices, such as explosive charges and flails.

The SACI mine is used to damage tank tracks and suspension systems.
