Description
The TM-62 series are high explosive, blast, antitank (AT) landmines used against track and wheeled vehicles. These mines can be planted in the open (above grade), covered (below grade), and in shallow water. Mines are emplaced manually, by mechanical mine laying equipment, or dispensed from a helicopter carried dispenser. Some of the TM-62 series mines also have secondary fuze wells.
The mines may be olive drab, green, brown, or khaki/sand colored. Service fuzes are green or green with a brown bakelite plastic pressure plate. These fuzes may also be light brown or khaki/sand colored. Service fuze markings are stenciled in black. Training fuzes are green plastic or light brownish in color with a white stenciled or painted stripe. Markings on some training fuzes are red.
