| BPM-2 | The BPM-2 is probably a product improvement of the BPM mine. It is donut-shaped with 11 magnets mounted on its base. The mine is detonated when its spring-loaded striker is released and impinges on the detonator. The striker is retained by two lead strips, which, because of the spring tension, fail by metal fatigue. Arming occurs after 5 to 20 minutes, and detonation occurs between 5 minutes and 832 hours. It is not known whether this delayed detonation can be determined by the user or is random. An antiremoval device incorporated in the mine will detonate if it is removed more than 10 mm from the target surface. | limpet mine | Diameter: 305mm Weight: 6.4kg Explosive: 2.8kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: Tritonal |
| BRICK (INCENDIARY) | The incendiary brick is ignited in various ways, all of which are alike in principle. One method is to pour sulphuric acid and glycerine into a thin rubber tube which is weakened at one point to allow the acid to burn through quickly. When the acid burns through the tube, it drips onto a small amount of potassium permangenate which ignites the brick. This device is a skillful imitation of a standard, glazed building brick to which it is comparable in size, weight, and appearance. The brick is wax coated with paint to give it a realistic finish and so allow it to be carried about without detection. There is no pocket for insertion of an igniter. Incendiary mixture: Potassium chlorate, sulphur, ground coal or sugar, iron fillings and wax. | incendiary mine | Weight: 1kg Range:20m Explosive/filler type: Incendiary Mix |

The number of Rockeye bombs currently in the U.S. arsenal is unknown, but is still believed to be high. | Rockeye bomb (cluster munitions) | |
| CC 48 | The mine has two fuze wells and no power source. The CC 48 is an Italian wooden box antitank mine. The distinctive feature that differentiates this mine from earlier wooden box antitank mines is the one-piece cast TNT linear shaped-charge as explosive fill (rather than individual blocks of explosive). The CC 48 is more efficient in breaking tracks than its predecessors, the CS 42/2 or CS 42/3, hence its much smaller explosive weight. The CC 48 consists of a wooden box with dove-tailed corner joints, a lid with pressure block, two 42/2 pressure fuzes, and the cast TNT shaped-charge. Pressure on the pressure block breaks the mine lid, allowing standoff blocks under the lid to push down on one or both of the fuzes. A shear collar in the fuze collapses, allowing a plunger and striker pin to impinge on a detonator. | anti-tank mine | Length: 290mm Weight: 4kg Explosive: 2kg Range: 1m Explosive/filler type: Cast TNT |
| CETME | The mine has a complicated, dual functioning fuzing system. When sufficient pressure is applied to crush the pressure plate, a glass vial in the chemical fuze breaks, letting the liquid spill onto an ignition compound, functioning the mine. The mine will also function if the ground overburden is removed from the pressure plate. Here, the spring-loaded pressure plate rises, causing a friction compound to rub a sand-paper surface, which ignites a flash compound to detonate the mine. The CETME is a pressure-activated non-metallic antitank mine with a built-in anti-disturbance feature. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 302mm Weight: 12.2kg Explosive: 7kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: TNT |

| CS 42/3 | The mine has four fuze wells and no power source. The CS 42/3 is an Italian wooden box antitank mine. The basic operating method and design of the CS 42/2 wooden box antitank mine are retained in the CS 42/3. The primary difference is that the new wooden case is nonmetallic. The 42/2 pressure fuze has the striker tip as its only metallic part. Like that of the CS 42/2, the main explosive charge is 5.0 kg of TNT. The mine measures 290x240x145 mm (L x W x H) with a total weight of 7.0 kg. The CS 42/3 antitank mine has a sliding lid, held in place by tongue and groove sides, that doubles as a large pressure plate. Under this sliding pressure plate is a wooden tray that holds four shipping plugs for the fuze wells, four pressure fuzes, and a wooden box containing the detonators. Mine function is initiated with a load of approximately 100.0 kg, which crushes the mine lid supports. This allows the lid to impinge on one or more of the fuzes. Flash from the friction compound in the fuze explodes the detonator, which | anti-tank mine | Length: 290mm Width: 240mm Weight: 7kg Explosive: 5kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: TNT |

| HPD | The mine has one fuze well and an integral battery. The HPD (Haut Pouvoir de Destruction) antitank mine is one of a series of mines developed by several manufacturers that allow either mechanical or manual emplacement by the ARE or Matenin minelayers. All these mines have a flat irregular shape and are approximately 280x185 mm with a height of 105 mm. The HPD mine comprises a plastic case containing a power supply, fuzing system and dual explosive charge. Fuzing requires a double influence signature, seismic and magnetic, prior to activation. The dual signature requirements allows the mine to be used as a full-width attack mine. An initial clearing charge removes a cover above the mine, allowing a more efficient firing of the main explosive shaped charge. The mine is capable of penetrating 70 mm of belly armour with 10.0 cm of earth cover. The mine uses a 10-minute arming delay that assists in safe mechanical emplacement. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 105mm Length: 280mm Weight: 5kg Range:10m |

| IMPROVISED (AT/ANTI-AIRFIELD) | This is an improvised, anti-tank, anti-airstrip mine. The bombs were stacked around picric acid blocks in which electrical detonators were inserted. The entire mine was under a turf covered piece of sheet iron that would close the circuit and fire the charge if the iron were lifted or depressed. A clockwork was also inserted to fire charge if iron was not disturbed . | anti-airfield/anti-tank mine | Explosive: 150kg Range: 500m Explosive/filler type: Piric Acid |
| IMPROVISED US 40-MM GRENADE | It has the same external appearance as the M406 grenade except for a circular pressure plate with an attached extension rod which protrudes from the center of the windshield. The fuze of the M406 40-mm grenade is modified by removing the upper half of the fuze cap, the inertial weights, and other components so as to expose the detonator. The fuze is then armed by aligning the detonator with the lead. A firing pin attached to a striker plate is positioned over the detonator. The striker plate and pressure plate are mechanically connected by an extension rod which protrudes from the windshield. It is an improvised, high-explosive, fragmentation, pressure-initiated, antipersonnel mine. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 40mm Length: 99mm Weight: 227g Explosive: 32g Range: 20m Explosive/filler type: Composition B |
| INTELLIGENT HORIZONTAL (AT) | The sensors can detect vehicles up to 100 meters away and have the ability to distinguish between tracked and wheeled vehicles., The infrared detection system, alerted by the acoustic sensors of an approaching target, surveys a narrow field and determines the direction of approach. When the target enters the sensing area, it is identified and the electronic processor determines the optimum time to fire for maximum effect. The estimated range is between 5 and 75 meters with effectiveness against vehicles traveling between 3 and 60 km/h. In ambush scenarios, specific vehicles can be targeted where any one of the first nine vehicles in a convoy can be selected. The Intelligent Horizontal Mine protects a much larger area than conventional antitank mines. Typically, two Intelligent Horizontal Mines provide an area coverage of 2300 square meters. The operational life of the Intelligent Horizontal Mine is approximately 120 days and utilizes 1.5-volt alkaline batteries. The entire mine system can be set up in 10 minu | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 320mm Weight: 21.5kg Explosive: 11kg Range: 500m Explosive/filler type: RDX (TNT/HEXOGEN) |
| K-1 | The mine has two fuze wells but no power source. The former East German K-1 antitank blast mine was developed in 1958 in conjunction with the K-2 antipersonnel bounding fragmentation mine. The two-piece plastic case features two fuze wells. The primary fuze fits a large threaded well in the center of the top case piece. A much smaller threaded well on the bottom of the mine accepts an antidisturbance pull fuze. Reportedly, when fitted with the antidisturbance fuze, the mine is emplaced upside down for unknown reasons. It is more plausible to assume that, if the mine is emplaced upside down, it would be targeted against personnel and activated by pressure overcoming the retaining pin or by tripwire. For antidisturbance purposes, the mine will probably be installed in the normal configuration with the pull pin anchored to an underground fixed object. Since the case is plastic, if seals are used, it is possible for this mine to be used underwater. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 250mm Weight: 11kg Explosive: 7.5kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| K-2 | anti-personnel | Diameter: 100mm Length: 225mm Explosive: 3kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: Nitro Penta | |
| KHF-2 CHEMICAL | The mine has an integral fuze well and an external power source. Externally, the KHF-1 resembles a bounding fragmentation mine. It consists of a cylindrical sheet-metal container containing a smaller cylindrical sheet-metal explosive unit. The external shell has a carrying handle and single groove through which the electrical detonating wire passes. A threaded metal plug closes the chemical filler hole on the top of the inner cylinder. Electrical initiation ignites the black powder propellant and a timed safety fuze. The safety fuze serves as a delay and ignites a second detonator, which explodes the chemical canister at a height of 4 to 8 meters. The area of contaminant coverage is 250 to 300 square meters (10 meter diameter). | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 150mm Weight: 15kg Explosive: 10g Range: 20m Explosive/filler type: Melinite |
| KN-10 | This mine is similar to the Vietnamese MDH-10 and former Soviet MON-100 mines. The mine can be used against both light skinned vehicles in an antipersonnel role. The KN-10 is typically command initiated. However, it can be emplaced with a variety of tripwire-initiated fuzes. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 220mm Length: 80mm Weight: 5kg Explosive: 2kg Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| KP 77 | The mine has one fuze well. The KP 77 antitank mine is an indigenously produced Finnish mine. This is a relatively simple, pressure-initiated, blast antitank mine. The plastic case does provide the mine with a non-metallic construction, thereby limiting the total metal content of the mine to fuze components and makes the mine difficult to detect. | anti-tank mine | Weight: 10kg Explosive: 9.5kg Range: 100m |
| KP 87 | The mine has a power source and one fuze well. The mines are assessed to have a plate-charge lethal mechanism and magnetic influence fuzing. Due to its relatively simple design, the magnetic influence fuze will have an inherent antidisturbance capability. | anti-tank mine | Range: 10m |
| KVKM 73 | The KVKM 73 is a Finish simple side-attack mine. This mine is essentially a large plate charge mounted on a tripod. When the warhead is fired, the plate is formed into a slug which is propelled by the explosives, destroying the target. Although the mine is currently fired by command detonation only, it could be upgraded with an IR or breakwire fuze. | anti-tank mine | Weight: 2.5kg Explosive: 1.6kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: hexolite |
| KVKM 73 | This is a command detonated anti-tank mine. The mine is steel. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 158mm Length: 164mm Weight: 2.27kg Explosive: 2.5kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: hexolite |
| KVKM 81 | The mine has one fuze well and no power source. The KVKM 81 is a Finish simple side-attack mine. This mine is essentially a large plate charge which can be mounted on a tripod. When the warhead is fired, the plate is formed into a slug which is propelled by the explosives, destroying the target. Although the mine is currently fired by command detonation only, it could be upgraded with an IR or breakwire fuze. | anti-tank mine | Weight: 18.5kg Explosive: 12kg Range: 500 |
| L.PZ.MI | The Old German light antitank mine L.PZ.MI is a metallic mine that was employed against both personnel and lightly armored vehicles. The mine is cylindrical with a raised central cap covering a safety screw. Five fuze bolts and three body bolts protrude through the mine body. Pressure on the mine crushes the body, exerting pressure on one or more of the fuze housings and forcing plungers upward. As the plunger moves upward, it compresses the outer spring, releases locking balls, and frees the striker. The striker driven by the striker spring explodes a percussion cap. Flame from the cap travels through a radial flame tube to the central flame chamber igniting the detonator, booster, and main explosive charge. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 266mm Weight: 4.1kg Explosive: 2.2kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| L10A1 | The British L10A1 is a scatterable antipersonnel mine which is designed to be laid by the Ranger antipersonnel mine laying system. The system is mounted on a FV432 armored personnel carrier and consists of 72 tubes each loaded with 18 mines, for a total of 1296 mines per load. The mine is a relatively simple pressure initiated, blast antipersonnel mine. When pressure is applied to the top of the mine, the integral fuze is functioned and the mine detonates. | anti-personnel blast mine | Diameter: 60mm Length: 30mm Weight: 136g Explosive: 110g Range: 20m Explosive/filler type: RDX |
| L14A1 | The L14A1 is the British designator for their armys version of the French MI AC AH F1. It is a side-attack mine which is essentially a large plate charge which is mounted on an aiming base. When the warhead is fired, the plate is formed into a slug which is propelled by the explosives, destroying the target. Although the British version of the mine is currently fired by a breakwire, it could be upgraded with the French-designed Infrared (IR) sensor. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 200mm Length: 260mm Weight: 12kg Explosive: 7kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: Hexolite |
| L3A1 | The L 3 antitank mine was designed in the in the late fifties by the UK. This is a relatively simple, pressure-initiated, blast antitank mine. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 325mm Weight: 7.7kg Explosive: 6kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| L9A1 AND L9A2 (BARMINE) | The British L 9 is also known as the barmine because of its distinctive shape. It is a relatively simple, pressure-activated, large, blast antitank mine. The usual fuze can operate both as single and double impulse pressure fuze. New fuzes including full-width mechanical, influence single and double impulse, and antidisturbance are now available. The plastic body does limit the total metal content to fuze components. A copy of the L 9 is made in India as the AT 3A. | anti-tank mine | Length: 1.2m Weight: 10.4kg Explosive: 8.1kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: Hexogen |

| LI-11 | This is a blast type mine. The mine is detonated when subjected to pressure on its edge. | anti-personnel blast mine | Diameter: 78mm Weight: 198g Explosive: 121g Range: 20m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| LI-12 / TRUPPMINA 12 | The mine has a curved, shallow rectangular body mounted on two bipod legs. As with the Claymore, the major effect of the LI-12 is produced from hardened steel balls encased in hexotol. The LI-12 antipersonnel mine is based upon the concept of the US Claymore mine. The LI-12 is manufactured by LIAB and has been produced for the Swedish Army as the Truppmina 12. | anti-personnel mine | Width: 170mm Height: 100mm Weight: 3kg Explosive/filler type: Hexotol |
| LIGHT | The mine consists of a rectangular metal container loaded with picric acid. A metal cover, which fits over the loaded container, rests on two pressure-types igniters or fuzes. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 206mm Length: 241mm Weight: 3.3kg Explosive: 2.76kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: Piric Acid |
| LMG | The LMG rocket mine consists of a rocket, a rocket-launching base, an initiation-and-propellant charge, an MUV fuze, and a tripwire. As the target vehicle acts on the tension wire, the retaining pin on the MUV fuze is withdrawn. The fuze, in turn, sets off the ignition-and-propellant charge and launches the rocket. Upon impact, the warhead is detonated by means of a secondary percussion base detonating fuze. Additionally this mine can be initiated by an observer utilizing a wire connected to the MUV retaining pin. | anti-tank mine | Weight: 10kg Explosive: 3.2kg Range: 300m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| LORY | The Italian LORY antipersonnel mine was intended to be a general-purpose, fully scatterable, nondetectable, blast-type antipersonnel mine. It was capable of being hand scattered from the ground, low-flying aircraft, and moving vehicles. The mines slight metallic content, 20 grams, resulted from a steel spring and the steel tip of a firing pin. The pneumatic pressure fuze served well in resisting initiation from overpressure on ground impact. The latter was important in the hand scattering of this mine as no delay arming feature was incorporated. | anti-personnel blast mine | Diameter: 115mm Weight: 250g Explosive: 82g Range: 15g Explosive/filler type: Tetryl |
| LORY (AIR DROPABLE) | The mine resists shock and is waterproof. The mine can be laid from moving vehicles, helicopters, or low flying aircraft. The mine is nonmetal. | anti-personnel | Diameter: 119mm Weight: 227g Explosive: 1.4kg Range: 400m |
| LUNGE | The mine consists of a conical shaped hollow charge, with a wooden handle at the apex of the cone and three metal legs welded to the base. The conical charge is housed in a steel container. Fitted into the base of the charge is a hollow, truncated cone designed to give the mine the increased power of penetration of this hollow charge. A well in the apex of the charge contains the detonator. The wooden handle has a steel striker fitted in one end. This end is encased in a metal cylinder and is held there by a safety pin and a copper shear wire. The cylinder is attached to the neck of the charge container by a threaded connecting ring. Three metal legs 6 inches long are welded to the base of the charge container at 120 degree intervals. They guarantee the proper stand-off to obtain the maximum effect from the hollow charge. Used as an antitank weapon. Capable of penetrating 6 inches of steel plating. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 203mm Length: 2m Weight: 6.5kg Explosive: 3kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M AZ AC | The M AZ AC is a wide area mine under development by the French. The mine uses acoustic sensors to identify approaching targets and, when a valid target nears, launches a "skeet" over the target. Within the skeet are a top attack warhead and a secondary sensor which initiates the warhead as the skeet flies over. The warhead forms an EFP capable of penetrating the top armor of the target. The M AZ AC has two skeet warheads which can engage targets | anti-tank mine | Range: 20m |
| M/41-47, & PRACTICE | The mine can use one of three pressure activating components. (1) Pentagonal spider. Used when normal burial in temperate climates is required. (2) Three-pronged spider. Used when the terrain is likely to be covered by ice. (3) Tiltrod. Used in deep snow or in terrain where vegetation will conceal the Tiltrod. The mine may contain a M/47 fuze, a M/47F delay detonator, or a boobytrap mine fuze 1. The practice mine is similar to the service mine except it contains a concrete filler, and a conduit for a smoke-producing element. Smoke ducts (not shown) lead from the conduit to the sides of the body of the mine. The practice mine also contains a practice M/47 fuze (igniter) and a smoke-producing element and can use a practice boobytrap fuze 1. This is a pressure-actuated, antitank (AT) landmine, used primarily against tanks and armored personnel carriers. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 250mm Length: 120mm Weight: 8kg Explosive: 5kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M/43 | The mine has one fuze well and no power source. The M/43 is a cardboard-box antipersonnel mine containing an explosive charge, pressure device, and safety/arming disk. The mine is rectangular, camouflage painted, and protected from moisture by a paraffin coating. On one side of the mine is a hole for inserting the M/43 detonator. A rubber plug is provided to cover the detonator opening. A follow-on version, the M/43 T, uses a 120 grams of TNT instead of the 125 grams of nitrolit contained in the original M/43. | anti-personnel mine | Length: 105mm Weight: 470g Explosive: 125g Range: 20m Explosive/filler type: Nitrolit |
| M/43 (AT) | The wooden lid fits down over the lower wood case onto a pressure block. The mine is initiated by a 150.0- to 250.0-kg pressure, which breaks a wood shear piece. A striker release block, under this shear piece, then pushes the "T"-shaped release pin out of the fuze, allowing the striker to impinge on the detonator. A booster charge transmits the explosion to the main TNT charge. This is an anti-tank mine. | anti-tank mine | Length: 293mm Weight: 6.2kg Explosive: 4kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M/44 49B | The practice version of the mine is identical except for a dummy main charge. The mine uses either an M/42-48P or M/48 (pull type) percussion igniter and two portable uprights. This is a high-explosive (blast), pressure-actuated landmine. It is used against landing aircraft. | airfield mine | Diameter: 380mm Length: 520mm Weight: 40kg Range: 10m |
| M/453 | Similar model to the Italian SB-81, the Spanish C-5, and the Iranian YM II. | anti-tank mine | Height: 90mm Width: 230mm N.E.W.: 2.20kg |
| M/47B, C, D, & PRACTICE, M/47-52B | The mine can use one of the three following pressure pieces: (1) Pentagonal spider. Used when normal burial in temperate climates is required. (2) Three-pronged spider. Used when the terrain is likely to be covered by ice. (3) Tiltrod. Used in deep snow or in terrain where vegetation will conceal the tiltrod. These are pressure-actuated, blast antitank (AT) landmines, used primarily against tanks and armored personnel carriers. The mine may contain an M/47 fuze, an M/47F (delay detonator), or a boobytrap mine fuze 1. The M/47-52B practice mine is similar to the service mine, except it contains a concrete filler and a conduit for the smoke-producing element. Smoke ducts lead from the conduit to the sides of the body of the mine. The practice mine also contains a practice M/47 fuze (igniter) and a smoke-producing element and can use a practice boobytrap fuze. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 350mm Length: 100mm Weight: 9.5kg Explosive: 5.5kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M/48 (SERVICE), & M/48 (PRACTICE) | The M/48 practice landmine is identical, except it is concrete loaded. This is an antipersonnel (apers) landmine. It is used against foot soldiers in wooded or grassy areas, and has an effective range of 15.0 meters (49.2 feet). The service landmine uses a pull fuze or an M/46 detonator (non-electric) and safety fuse. The practice landmine uses a practice fuze. | anti-personnel mine | Diameter: 90mm Length: 180mm Weight: 2.9kg Explosive: 227g Range: 200m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M/49 | The M/49 fuze has a small four-pronged pressure spider and a safety clip. The M/49 is a Swedish antipersonnel mine. | anti-personnel mine | Diameter: 75mm Weight: 240g Explosive: 180g Range: 20m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M/49 B | The M/49 B is a Swedish antipersonnel mine housed in a camouflaged cardboard case. It uses a TNT main explosive charge and a pressure fuze. A pressure of 5.0 to 10.0 kg on the domed pressure lid of the M/49 B fuze breaks a shear membrane, releasing a spring-cocked striker that impinges on the percussion detonator. Another version of this mine, the M/49, is identical with the exception of the fuze. The M/49 fuze has a small four-pronged pressure spider and a safety clip. | anti-personnel mine | Diameter: 75mm Length: 55mm Weight: 240g Explosive: 180g Range: 20m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M/52 | The M/52B is similar to the M/52 except for the elimination of filler holes. The practice mine is similar to the service mines except that the practice mine contains a concrete filler, a smoke-producing element, a practice fuze, and a conduit from one side of the mine case to the other. Each mine may contain either an M/47 fuze, M/47F (delay detonator), or a boobytrap mine fuze 1. This is a pressure-actuated, blast, antitank (AT) landmine, used primarily against tanks and personnel carriers. Combat-loaded mines are painted olive drab and marked with a gold ring or a gold square, and the designation M/52 or M/52B stenciled in black on a yellow background on the side of the case. Practice mines are marked with a blue ring or a blue square with the letters ASKAD stenciled on top of the case. Fuze painting and markings are unknown. These mines can use one of three pressure pieces. (1) Pentagonal spider. Used when normal burial in temperate climate is desired. (2) Three-pronged spider. Used when the terrain is lik | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 340mm Length: 150mm Weight: 9kg Explosive: 7.5kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M/52 B | The Swedish M/52 and M/52 B antitank mines are similar in shape, construction, and employment. However, the M/52 B will normally have as option the tilt rod or small three-pronged pressure spider. The M/52 will normally use the large five-pronged pentagonal pressure spider. The plywood-cased antitank mines were an interim design between the steel-cased M/41-47 and the caseless MI 101-103 series of antitank mines. Regardless of the fuze-actuating device used, the fuze operates in the same manner. When sufficient force is applied on the pressure plate, an eggshell-thin crown is crushed. Pressure on the fuze plunger then causes the shear pin to fail. Further movement of the plunger frees the striker-retaining balls, allowing the striker to detonate the mine. The overall M/52 B mine height with the three-pronged pressure spider is 155 mm. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 343mm Weight: 9.5kg Explosive: 7.5kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M/71 | The Egyptian M/71 is a copy of the former Soviet Union TMN-46. The mine can be emplaced mechanically but the lack of a delayed-armed fuze makes the operation hazardous unless the mines are fuzed after they are emplaced. Copies of this mine are also produced in Israel known as the No. 6. There is a truncated tilt-rod fuze available, although it has not been reported in this region. Easily detectable. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 305mm Weight: 9.8kg Explosive: 6.25kg Range:400m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M/80 | The Egyptian M/80 antitank mine is based on the Italian TC/2.4 antitank mine. Both mines are manufactured from plastic making them difficult to detect with metallic hand-held detectors. The main explosive charge contained in the M/80 is TNT and hexogen while the Italian version uses Composition B as its main charge. | anti-tank mine | Range: 10m Explosive/type: TNT/Hexogen |
| M/966 | The M/966 is a copy of the US designed M2A4 bounding fragmentation mine. Also produced by Belgium as PRB M966. The dual action fuze can operate either by pressure or tripwire. When the fuze is functioned, a charge at the bottom of the mine projects a 60 mm mortar shell into the air and starts a pyrotechnic delay element. The warhead explodes approximately 2 meters above the ground. Since there is no access to the detonator the mortar bomb body, this mine cannot be completely disarmed. | fragmentation mine | Width: 100mm Height: 244mm Weight: 3kg Explosive: 154g Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M/966-B | The M/966-B is a Portuguese-produced blast/fragmentation antipersonnel mine. The mine is actuated using a trip-wire fuze. The mine effect is derived from the metallic case fragmenting. The effective radius of this mine is limited because the mine rests on the ground at the time of detonation. | fragmentation mine | Length: 90mm Width: 80mm Height: 50mm Weight: 500g Explosive: 400g Range: 200m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M/969 | M/969 is a plastic-bodied, pressure-operated anti-personnel blast mine. The mine is a copy of the Belgian PRB M409. The fuze incorporates two opposing spring-steel firing pins. The strikers are held apart by a sliding bolt attached to the pressure plate. The bolt has an aperture holding two igniters. When the bolt is displaced, the strikers are released onto the igniters and the flash is channelled to the detonator. The detonator is sealed into the mine and cannot be removed. | anti-personnel blast mine | Diameter: 82mm Height: 28mm Weight: 183g Explosive: 80g Range: 15m Explosive/filler type: TNT and Composition B |
| M-08 | Moored, contact. | naval mine | |
| M1 | This complete round consists of three parts: the loaded mine body, the fuze, and a spider which fits over the fuze to increase the effective size of its head. The spider consists of a ring and two cross members, each with a hook on either end, spot-welded together as shown in the illustration. The hooks engage the flange on the mine body and the center of the spider rests on the striker head of the fuze. The antitank mine is an explosive device designed to be laid on the ground or planted flush with the surface for defense against armored cars and tanks. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 179mm Length: 70mm Weight: 4.7kg Explosive: 2.7kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M1 & M1B1 (PRACTICE) | The M1 and M1B1 are practice landmines. All these mines have manually armed, pressure-actuated fuzes. The practice mines have smoke charges incorporated into the fuze. | practice | Diameter: 203mm Length: 102mm Weight: 4.8kg Explosive: 11g Range: 20m Explosive/filler type: Red Phosphorus |

| M1 101 (BOFORS) | The booster is integral with the main charge. A fuze well, centrally located in the top of the explosive, is fitted with a threaded plastic fuze-well insert. This insert serves as a means of securing the combination pressure spider and fuze to the mine. A cord carrying handle is affixed to the mine body. This blast type mine is nonmetallic and has no casing. Thus, it cannot be located with an electrical mine detector. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 304mm Weight: 12.5kg Explosive: 11kg Range: 150m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M1 and M1A1 | The M1 and M1A1are high-explosive metal-cased anti-tank blast mines. The mines are initiated by pressure, but are resistant to blast because of the "spider" pressure plate. The M4 is very similar, but incorporates auxiliary fuze wells in the base. The M1B1 is a practice mine with a smoke charge. Pressure on the spider is transferred to the head of the fuze, where it breaks an internal shear pin and depresses an internal collar to release a striker retaining ball. This releases the spring-loaded striker onto the detonator to initiate the booster and main charge. Since these mines are likely to be old and contain cocked strikers, they should not be disarmed. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 203mm Height: 75mm Weight: 5.3kg Explosive: 27.5kg Range: 500m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M10 & M10A1 (PRACTICE) | The M10-series are practice landmines. The practice mines have smoke charges incorporated into the fuzes. | practice | Diameter: 178mm Length: 127mm Weight: 2kg Explosive: 17g Range: 20m Explosive/filler type: Pyrotechnic Composition |

| M14 | M14 is a small minimum-metal antipersonnel blast mine. A modified version, M14E1, differs from the M14 only in minor structural detail. Rotating pressure plate from S to A arms the fuze. Pressure on the top surface inverts a Belleville spring to drive the firing pin into the stab-sensitive detonator Do not actuate fuze mechanism once the mine has been disarmed. Very difficult to detect. | anti-personnel blast mine | Diameter: 56mm Height: 40mm Weight: 100g Explosive: 29g Range: 10m Explosive/filler type: Tetryl |
| M14E1 | The M14E1 differs from the M14 in minor structural changes only. The M14 and Ml4E1 are nonmetallic, pressure initiated, blast, antipersonnel (apers), high explosive (HE) landmines which use an integral fuze with a steel firing pin. | anti-personnel blast mine | Diameter: 58mm Length: 38mm Weight: 85g Explosive: 20g Range: 10m Explosive/filler type: Tetryl |
| M15 | The M15 may employ a tilt-rod fuze with the use of a fuze adapter. They also contain two secondary fuze wells; one in the side of the mine and one in the bottom. The figure shows the appearance and dimensions of the M15 landmine and the M624 tactical mine fuze. The M15 is a high explosive (HE), heavy antitank (AT) landmine. The mines have manually armed pressure actuated primary internal fuzes. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 333mm Height: 150mm Weight: 14.3kg Explosive: 10.3kg Range: 500m Explosive/filler type: Composition B |

The figure shows the appearance and dimensions of the M15 landmine and the M624 tactical mine fuze. The M15 is a high explosive (HE), heavy antitank (AT) landmine. The mines have manually armed pressure actuated primary internal fuzes. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 334mm Length: 334mm Weight: 13.6kg Explosive: 10kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: Composition B |
| M16 | The M16 is a steel-cased bounding fragmentation anti-personnel mine, initiated by tripwire or pressure. The mine is externally identical to the M16A1, other than markings. M16A2 is similar, but has an offset fuze well. When the fuze is actuated, the striker is released onto an igniter, which fires the propellant charge after a short delay; this blows the mine body out from the casing and ignites the pyrotechnic delays. When the mine reaches a height of approximately 1 m, the detonators initiate the main charge to shatter the steel body in all directions. This mine can be neutralized by removing the fuze, but cannot be disarmed as the detonators are integral. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 103mm Height: 203mm Weight: 3.75kg Explosive: 575g Range: 300m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M16 WITH M605 FUZE | These are high-explosive (HE), bounding, fragmenting, antipersonnel (apers), mines actuated by an M605 combination pull/pressure fuze. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 105mm Length: 191mm Weight: 3.6kg Explosive: 585g Range: 300m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M16A1 | The M16A1 is a steel-cased bounding fragmentation anti-personnel mine, initiated by tripwire or pressure. The mine is externally identical to the M16, other than markings; the main internal revisions are smaller detonators and boosters. M16A2 is similar, but has an offset fuze well. When the fuze is actuated, the striker is released onto an igniter, which fires the propellant charge after a short delay; this blows the mine body out from the casing and ignites the pyrotechnic delays. When the mine reaches a height of approximately 1 m, the detonators initiate the main charge to shatter the steel body in all directions. This mine can be neutralized by removing the fuze, but cannot be disarmed as the detonators are integral. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 105mm Height: 203mm Weight: 3.75kg Explosive: 575g Range: 300m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M16A2 | The M16A2 is a steel-cased bounding fragmentation anti-personnel mine, initiated by tripwire or pressure. The mine is externally similar to the M16 and M16A1, but has an offset fuze well. The main internal revision is the use of a single detonator and booster in place of the two used in earlier versions. When the fuze is actuated, the striker is released onto an igniter, which fires the propellant charge after a short delay; this blows the mine body out from the casing and ignites the pyrotechnic delays. When the mine reaches a height of approximately 1 m, the detonator initiates the main charge to shatter the steel body in all directions. This mine can be neutralized by removing the fuze, but cannot be disarmed as the detonator is integral. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 103mm Height: 203mm Weight: 2.8kg Explosive: 601g Range: 300m Explosive/filler type: TNT |

They may be used as controlled-fired mines in offensive or defensive situations. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 235mm Length: 83mm Weight: 1.1kg Explosive: 340g Range: 30m Explosive/filler type: Composition C-3 |
| M-18 | The CARDOEN antipersonnel directional fragmentation mine is used for the defense of military bases and installations, against enemy infantry, and for the defense of infantry positions. This mine is effective over a wide area and it is simple to activate. It is also effective against light vehicles. The fragmentation charge consists of metal shrapnel that is dispersed in a 60 degree angle. The mine can be installed in post, tress or single placed on the ground. The M-18 is a copy of the M18A1 antipersonnel mine designed by the United States. | fragmentation mine | Length: 231mm Weight: 1.6kg Explosive: 500g |
| M18A1 CLAYMORE & PRACTICE, M68 | The M68 practice mine is similar to the M18A1 mine except that the inert loaded M33 mine body replaces the high explosive loaded M18A1 mine body, and the empty practice blasting cap M10 replaces the loaded blasting cap. These are directional, fragmentation, high explosive (HE) antipersonnel (apers) landmines which may be electrically or non electrically initiated. They may be used as controlled fired mines in offensive or defensive situations. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 216mm Length: 216mm Weight: 1.6kg Explosive: 680g Range: 50m Explosive/filler type: Composition C-4 |

The cavity in the base plate contains the propelling charge, which consists of 20 grains of black powder assembled in a small bag. The mortar tube, containing the fuzed shell, is sealed with a metal cap. Attached to the pipe nipple is a coupling into which is fitted the primer and igniter assembly (standard firing device base with a black powder igniter crimped in place). The primer is protected during handling and shipment by a metal cap. The firing pin assembly of the firing device is shipped separately in a tube, in the same box with the mine. The firing device used with this mine is Combination Firing Device M1. M2 is similar to a small mortar, and projects a shell about 6 feet in the air, where it explodes. Designed for use against personnel, it has an effective radius of about 30 feet. | anti-personnel mine | Weight: 1.36kg Explosive: 163.3g Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M2 SERIES | These are bounding fragmentation anti-personnel landmines with minor variations in external appearance. The mines have been copied by countries such as Belgium (PRB M966) and Portugal (M/966). The dual action fuze can operate either by pressure or tripwire. When the fuze is functioned, a charge at the bottom of the mine projects a 60 mm mortar shell into the air and starts a pyrotechnic delay element. The warhead explodes approximately 2 meters above the ground. Since there is no access to the detonator the mortar bomb body, this mine cannot be completely disarmed.

It is in full serial production at I.M.I. since 1986. | projectile (cluster munitions) | |
| M4 | The M4 is a high-explosive metal-cased anti-tank blast mine; it is similar to the M1 and M1A1 but incorporates auxiliary fuze wells in the base. The mine is initiated by pressure, but is resistant to blast because of the "spider" pressure plate. Pressure on the spider is transferred to the head of the fuze, where it breaks an internal shear pin and depresses an internal collar to release a striker retaining ball. This releases the spring-loaded striker onto the detonator to initiate the booster and main charge. Since these mines are likely to be old and contain cocked strikers, they should not be disarmed. Anti-lift devices may be present in the auxiliary fuze wells. Easily detectable. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 203mm Height: 102mm Weight: 4.8kg Explosive: 1.8kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| M41 | The mine is used in a conventional manner against foot troops. The Trampmina M/41 is a Swedish wooden-box antipersonnel mine. The mine consists of an upper hinged lid that fits over a lower section filled with an explosive block. Pressure exerted on the lid causes a downward movement, releasing a "T"-shaped striker retaining pin. The striker is then freed to impact on the percussion cap in the fuze. The pressure required to actuate the mine varies but may be as low as 2.0 kg. | anti-personnel mine | Length: 200mm Weight: 349g Explosive: 118g Range: 20m Explosive/filler type: TNT |

| MINELBA TYPE A | Both the Minelba Type A and B antipersonnel mines were designed to be emplaced by hand or scattered from a ground vehicle. The mine is not equipped with a boobytrap well and is detectable by electronic mine detectors. The distinctive firing system of this mine, which is activated by air pressure within the fuze, is designed to prevent actuation by sources of very short duration. The materials used are believed to have a very short shelf life. Prior to emplacement of the Type A mine, the detonator well plug is removed, the detonator is inserted, and the plug is replaced. When the safety pin is removed, the mine is armed and ready for emplacement. When a force is applied to the pressure plate, air is forced through the intake-stage air orifice, forcing the firing pin forward. When the firing pin passes the second-stage air orifice, it is accelerated and forces the retaining pin free, detonating the mine. This is a small round antipersonnel mine. The Minelba Type A antipersonnel mine is an pneumatically operated | anti-personnel | Diameter: 108mm Weight: 170g Range: 10m |
| MINELBA TYPE B | The Minelba Type B antipersonnel mine is an pneumatically operated mine manufactured by the Minelba Company, Milan, Italy. A similar development is the Minelba Type A. Both the Minelba Type A and B antipersonnel mines were designed to be hand emplaced or scattered from a ground vehicle. The mine is not equipped with a boobytrap fuze well and is detectable by electronic mine detectors. The distinctive firing system of this mine, which is activated by air pressure within the fuze, is designed to prevent actuation by sources of very short duration. The materials used are believed to have a very short shelf life. Prior to emplacement of the Type B mine, the detonator well plug is removed, the detonator is inserted, and the plug is replaced. This mine is not equipped with a safety pin. When a force is applied to the pressure plate, air pressure forces the actuating fork forward until the striker-retaining balls move into the retaining-ball recess, releasing the firing pin, which detonates the mine. | anti-personnel | Diameter: 108mm Weight: 198g Explosive: 30g Range: 10m |
| MINI-MS 803 | The Mini-MS 803 is a simplified version of the Claymore type directional fragmentation mine. It has a lethal range of 15.00 to 30.00 meters (49.21 to 98.43 feet). The mine is normally initiated by electrical command. | fragmentation mine | Length: 220mm Width: 35mm Height: 70mm Weight: 1kg Explosive: 460g Range: 200m Explosive/filler type: PE9 |
| MINOS | The MINOS is a side-attack mine under development by Germany. This mine is essentially a rocket with a HEAT warhead mounted on a tripod attached to a acoustic/seismic and IR sensor package. The mine uses acoustic/seismic sensors to identify approaching targets and to turn on the secondary IR sensor. When a valid target passes into the field of view of the sensor, the rocket is fired, destroying the target. | anti-tank mine | Range: 20m |
| MIRJAM | This is an influence-fired mine employed in inland waterways against amphibious and snorkeling vehicles. It uses an antitank (AT) NR-26 mine as the main explosive charge.

| MK 1 & 2(II) | The Mine Mk II consists of the following component parts: the outer mine canister, the inner case, the detonator-pistol mechanism, and the cartridge-pistol mechanism. The outer mine canister is nothing more than a container for the inner case and acts as a small mortar to propel the inner case into the air. The inner case rests on a shoulder in the bottom of the outer canister. Below this shoulder in the canister is a small recess acting as an expansion chamber for the propellant gases. A long recess is located on the outside of the canister to retain the lever of the detonator pistol. The inner case is a cylindrical container for the explosive charge. Two holes are located in the top of the inner case, one of which passes completely through the case for the insertion of the cartridge pistol, while the other leads into the explosive charge for the insertion of the detonator-pistol mechanism. During normal shipment and storage, the inner case is held in the outer canister by two screws passing through the bott | anti-personnel mine (shrapnel) | Diameter: 89mm Length: 139mm Weight: 4.5kg Explosive: 453g Range: 200m Explosive/filler type: Amatol |
| MK 5 GS | The Mk 5 GS is a high-explosive metal-cased anti-tank blast mine. The mine is initiated by pressure, but resistant to blast because of the "spider" pressure plate. The Mk 5 had two variants: the Mk-5, G.S. (general service) and the Mk-5, H.C. (higher content). The two mines are identical in appearance and size. The only difference is that the H.C. model has explosives on both sides of the inner wall of the case. Pressure on the spider is transferred to the head of the fuze, where it crushes the cap and breaks the striker -retaining shear pin. This releases the spring-loaded striker onto the detonator to initiate the booster and main charge. Since these mines are likely to be old and contain cocked strikers, they should not be disarmed. Easily detectable. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 203mm Height: 127mm Weight: 4.4kg Explosive: 2kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: TNT |

| MK III (CLAM) | The Mk III limpet mine consists of a rectangular metal body filled with explosives. This limpet has two magnets (one on each end) for attachment to metallic targets. At one end of the mine is an open fuze covered by a metal retaining clip. The mine is designed for sabotage use against ships, fuel tanks, etc., but has frequently been employed by terrorists. The delay fuze utilizes a lead delay, which is cut by a spring loaded wire. The cutting of the lead strip allows the striker assembly to initiate the charge. | limpet mine | Explosive: 227g Range: 200m Explosive/filler type: Tetryl |
| MK-2 TRIP FLARE | The mine consists of a flare pot filled with pyrotechnic compound, a picket, and a spring tensioned tripwire attached to the fuze. When the tripwire is activated, the detonator ignites the compound, firing a visual signal and illuminating the surrounding area. The MK-2 trip flare is intended to give a warning of infiltration of enemy troops and the illumination of these troops. | anti-personnel mine | Diameter: 76mm Length: 145mm Weight: 180g Range: 20m |

Easily detectable. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 305mm Height: 110mm Weight: 8.6kg Explosive: 5.5kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System), M77 | Potentially the most lethal method for delivering cluster munitions from the ground to a target is the Multiple Launch Rocket System launching M26 warheads. This rocket system can fire from a mobile platform 32 to 38 kilometers (20 to 23.5 miles) away from the target. The MLRS can fire 12 rockets in 60 seconds. Each rocket releases 644 M77 dual-purpose bomblets that are anti-armor and anti-personnel. Submunition fragments can penetrate up to 10 centimeters (four inches) of steel while shrapnel can travel over seven meters (eight yards) in any direction. An M77 bomblet is the size of a D battery. It has a drag ribbon, which, when fired, unfurls to stabilize the bomblet. The ribbon will vibrate in the wind, arming the bomblet. If the ribbon does not unfurl, or becomes entangled, the bomblet will not be armed, and therefore will not explode on impact, resulting in a dud that could explode later. Due to the compact size of M77s, it is possible for a majority of the duds to become hidden when they land, resulti | rocket launching system | |
| MN-111 | The MN-111 is the ground version of the PLATAN antitank mines. The operational difference between this mine and the MN-121 is that the MN-111 has self-extending ground stakes rather than self-extending righting legs. No parachute is used to retard the MN-111 after ejection from its launch tubes, leaving enough velocity for the ground stakes to fully penetrate into the surface. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 116mm Weight: 3.4kg Explosive: 800g Range: 300m Explosive/filler type: Hexogen |
| MN-121 | This Polish scatterable mine is parachute retarded with self-righting legs.

This is a high-explosive (HE) fragmentation (frag) antipersonnel (apers) landmine. The stake is wood and the serrated cylinder and cap are metal. The fuze is metal. | fragmentation mine | Diamter: 38mm Length: 394mm Weight: 910g Explosive: 91g Range: 50m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| TM-62B | 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 ground), covered (below ground), 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. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 315mm Height: 67mm Weight: 8.1kg Explosive: 7.5kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: TNT / Aluminum |
| PDM-6 | The mine has four fuze wells and no power source. Little detailed information is available on this mine. It is similar to its predecessor, the PDM-1M. The major and possibly the only difference is the fuzing. Whereas the PDM-1M has a single tilt-rod fuze located on the top center of the mine, the PDM-6 has four fuzes. Three tilt-rod fuzes are centered on top of the mine in a triangular pattern. A fourth antilift fuze is located in the center of the base plate. | underwater mine | Diameter: 1m Weight: 477.5kg Explosive: 28kg Range: 500m Explosive/filler type: PETN |
| PFM-1 and PFM-1S | A self-destruct variant of this mine, the PFM-1S, is intended to randomly self-destruct over a period of time. While the nominal period for 85% self-destruct is 40 hours, the mines remain functional for far longer. PFM-1S mines are known to continue to randomly self-destruct for weeks after deployment. The first positive confirmation that the former Soviet armed forces had within their inventory an antipersonnel scatter mine system came shortly after their invasion of Afghanistan. The former Soviets employed a small plastic mine designated PFM-1. This mine consists of a pressure-fuzed liquid explosive in a green or sand-brown plastic case and has been used extensively to interdict trails and resupply routes within Afghanistan. The PFM-1 mine is a reverse-engineered copy of the US BLU-43 mine used in Southeast Asia and is an extremely effective casualty-producing item. | scatterable munitions | Length: 120mm Width: 20mm Height: 61mm Weight: 75g Explosive: 37g Range: 10m Explosive/filler type: Liquid Plastic Explosives |
| MODELS HPD F1 (SERVICE) | This is a battery-powered, manually or mechanically armed, double-influence (seismic and magnetic)-fired Misznay - Schardin effect antitank (AT) landmine with a self-neutralizing circuit (later models may contain a self-destruct feature).

| PMA-1 | |||
| MPP-B | The TM-62 series of conventional antitank blast mines are considered the current mainstay of the former Soviet antitank mine inventory. They exist in four distinct versions: the TM-62M (metallic case), TM-62P (plastic case), TM-62B (caseless), and TM-62D (wooden case). All are circular except for the TM-62D, which is rectangular. Retracing the history of former Soviet antitank mine development reveals that the impetus for the TM-57, the TM-62s predecessor, was the need to incorporate a new series of delay-armed fuzes in order to facilitate mechanical emplacement. The TM-62 mines represent the first physically similar series of mines to allow mechanical emplacement and varying degrees of detectability. The Polish MPP-B antitank mine is a copy of the former Soviet TM-62M. A Polish magnetic fuze and a pressure fuze are available for this mine as well as any TM-62 compatible fuze. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 320mm Weight: 10.5kg Explosive: 9kg Range: 100m |
| MRUD | MRUDis a directional fragmentation, anti-personnel mine which may be electrically or non-electrically initiated. The two fuze wells will accommodate a variety of standard pull fuzes and detonator assemblies. Initiation is normally by electrical command. | fragmentation mine | Length: 231mm Width: 46mm Height: 89mm Weight: 1.5kg Explosive: 900g Range: 50m Explosive/filler type: Plastic Explosive |
| MSS | The MSS is a Romanian bounding fragmentation mine. The dual action fuze can operate either by pressure or tripwire. When the fuze is functioned, a charge at the bottom of the mine projects the mine upward where the main charge is detonated, propelling the fragments outward. The mine can also be command detonated. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 85mm Length: 225mm Explosive: 30g Range: 20m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| TM-62M | TM-62M is a pressure-operated anti-tank blast mine. This is one of a series of TM-62 mines with different casing materials and shapes. The metal-cased TM-62M can be 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. MVP-62, MVZ-62 and MVCh-62 are conventional pressure fuzes. MVN-72 and MVN-80 are magnetic influence fuzes offering full-width attack against vehicles. Magnetic influence fuzes may be sensitive to movement. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 320mm Height: 128mm Weight: 9.5kg Explosive: 7.5kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| OZM (3,4,&72) | |||
| OZM-3 | OZM-3 is a high-explosive, fragmentation bounding antipersonnel landmine that may be initiated either mechanically or electrically. Initiating the fuze or electrical charge ignites a propellant charge in the base of the mine, which blows out a disc to propel the mine body into the air. A pyrotechnic delay then initiates the detonator and main charge to shatter the steel body into fragments. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 75mm Length: 120mm Weight: 3kg Explosive: 75g Range: 50m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| MZD-2 | This antitransport / antivehicle mine is very similar to the MZD-1 multipurpose mine. Differences include a lesser amount of explosive in the MZD-2; the MZD-2 also contains a secondary vibration fuze in addition to its primary EKHV delay fuze. This latter feature gives the MZD-2 an antidisturbance feature. | multipurpose | Length: 215mm Weight: 5kg Explosive: 800g Range: 50m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| TM-57 | TM-57 is a pressure-operated anti-tank blast mine, incorporating a secondary fuze well for booby trapping. The pressure fuze has a clockwork arming delay and a spring-loaded striker, which is released onto a stab-sensitive detonator assembly when a shear-pin is broken. Has an auxiliary fuze well in the side for booby trapping. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 316mm Height: 102mm Weight: 8.5kg Explosive: 6.3kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: RDX / TNT / Aluminum |
| OZM-4 | OZM-4 is a high-explosive, fragmentation bounding antipersonnel landmine that is normally tripwire initiated. The OZM-4 replaced the OZM-3 and is larger. Initiating the fuze ignites a propellant charge in the base of the mine, which blows out a base plug to propel the mine body into the air. A tether cord then initiates the internal mechanical fuze, firing the detonator and main charge to shatter the steel body into fragments. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 90mm Height: 140mm Weight: 5kg Explosive: 170g Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| PMN-4 | The mine can be manually implanted or scattered from a moving vehicle. It contains numerous metal parts and should be detectable with a mine detector. This is a high explosive (HE), delay armed, pressure fired, anti-personnel (APERS) blast mine. | anti-personnel blast mine | Diameter: 95mm Length: 46mm Weight: 300g Explosive: 55g Range: 50m |
| PMD-6 and PMD-7 series | PMD-6 is a wooden-cased, pressure-operated blast anti-personnel mine, based on the German World War II Schu-mine 42. PMD-6M is slightly larger and incorporates a small leaf spring in the lid to increase the operating pressure. The PMD-7 series use cylindrical 75 g TNT blocks. The specifications given below are for PMD-6M. The lid of the box rests on the wings of the striker retaining pin, with a slot in the box lid to accommodate the striker shaft. When sufficient pressure is applied to the lid, it forces the winged retaining pin out of the spring-loaded striker, releasing it onto the stab-sensitive detonator assembly. | anti-personnel blast mine | Length: 190mm Width: 90mm Height: 65mm Weight: 400g Explosive: 200g Range: 20m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| NO. 22 | The mine has three fuze wells and no power source. The No. 22 antitank mine is an Israeli pressure-initiated, blast antitank mine. The small, centrally located fuze is functioned when pressure is applied anywhere on the large pressure plate. The plastic case does provide the mine with non-metallic construction, thereby limiting the total metal content of the mine to fuze components. The mine has two secondary fuze wells, one on the side and one on the bottom, for boobytrap purposes. | anti-tank mine | Length: 114mm Height: 114mm Range: 10m |
| PMD 6M | |||
| NO. 3 | The No. 3 is an Israeli-produced pressure-initiated, fragmentation antipersonnel mine. The mine is similar in appearance to the former Soviet PMD-6 wooden box mine. The No. 3 also has a wooden box casing which contains a 200 gram cast block of TNT, but it also contains a fragmentation sleeve. The fuze used in this mine works identically to an MUV-type fuze, i.e., a downward pressure on the raised lid of the box forces the lid down and a notch in the side of the lid pulls the release pin from the fuze. The mine can also be configured to function as a tripwire. | fragmentation mine | Explosive: 200g Range: 20m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| PMD-6 | Contains enough metal to be easily detected. | anti-personnel blast mine | Length: 190mm Height: 65mm Weight: 400g Range: 10m Explosive: 200g |
| PMZ-40 | This mine consists of three parts: A charge container with a flanged base, a central fuze well, and a bottom filler hole and plug; a retaining band featuring four shear bolt grooves; and a pressure plate with four shear bolts. The shear bolts are used to make the PMZ-40 an antitank mine. When the pressure plate is rotated so that the shear bolts do not come into play, the pressure plate rests directly on the fuze and the mine is antipersonnel. This mine was thought too dangerous for use and was replaced by the TM-41 antitank mine. | multipurpose | Diameter: 280mm Weight: 9kg Explosive: 3.6kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: Amonal |
| NO. 6 | No 6 is a copy of the TM-46 pressure-operated anti-tank blast mine. The fuzes use a spring-loaded striker released onto a stab-sensitive detonator assembly. The No 61 pressure fuze can be neutralized by replacing the arming pin. Easily detectable. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 305mm Height: 110mm Weight: 8kg Explosive: 6kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| No. 69 MK 1 | This is a high-explosive apers landmine. It can also be used against soft-skinned vehicles. | anti-personnel blast mine | Diameter: 120mm Length: 210mm Weight: 3.3kg Explosive: 380g Range: 30m Explosive/filler type: RDX/TNT |
| NO. 75 MK 1 (GRENADE MODIFIED) | This grenade is commonly used as an anti-tank mine, but may be adapted for anti-personnel use. The mine is used as a blast-type anti-personnel mine. The mine should be laid just below the level of the ground, with a slight covering of soil or foliage for concealment. Care should be taken to ensure that stones or small pieces of wood do not become lodged between the striker plate and the mine body. | anti-personnel/anti-tank mine | Length: 165mm Weight: 1.36kg Explosive: 680g Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: Amatol |
| NO. 75 MK II | The No. 75 Mk II is a simple, pressure-initiated, metal-cased, blast antitank mine. When pressure is applied to the top of the mine, the pressure plate bends and crushes one or both of the chemical fuzes. The resulting chemical reaction causes a flame which sets off the booster, and in turn, the mine. | anti-tank mine | Length: 179mm Weight: 1.3kg Explosive: 650g Range: 300m Explosive/filler type: Amatol |
| PMN | The PMN is a pressure-operated anti-personnel blast mine with a substantial explosive charge. Copied by China and Iraq, with several similar designs from other countries. The fuze incorporates a lead-shear arming delay, after which the transverse striker is retained by the central plunger. Pressure aligns a window in the plunger to release the striker onto the detonator assembly. Easily confused with similar mines from other countries, such as the Chinese Type 58. Easily detectable. | anti-personnel blast mine | Diameter: 112mm Height: 56mm Weight: 550g Explosive: 240g Range: 30m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| PMN-2 | PMN-2 is a pressure activated anti-personnel blast mine and the successor to the PMN mine. The main improvement over the PMN is the incorporation of a blast resistant fuze. Once armed, depressing the pressure plate allows the detonator assembly to move into line, then releases the spring-loaded striker onto it. This mechanism will resist a rapid pressure pulse, making it resistant to most explosive countermeasures. The PMN-3 is identical in appearance and incorporates an electronic anti-handling feature. | anti-personnel blast mine | Diameter: 120mm Height: 53mm Weight: 420g Explosive: 100g Range: 15m Explosive/filler type: TNT - RDX - A1 |
| No. 8 | It has a 7.00 kilogram (15.43 LB) RDX/TNT 60/40 main charge. A water-proof detonator, and a 3-gram CH 6 booster. The mine is difficult to detect. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 259mm Height: 175mm Weight: 7.4kg Explosive: 700g Range: 50m Explosive/filler type: RDX/TNT |
| NO. 92 (40mm) | It uses a base-detonating, self-destroying fuze. The grenade contains approximately 1,000 2.0 to 2.3 mm steel ball fragments. The self-destruct time is 15 seconds. | grenade | Diameter: 40mm Length: 102mm Explosive: 28g Range: 20m Explosive/filler type: RDX |
| NO-MZ 2B | This is a bounding APERS mine. Difficult to detect. | anti-personnel mine | Diameter: 57mm Height: 80mm Weight: 660g Explosive: 65g Range: 50m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| Non-metallic anti-personnel mine | This South African mine is a direct copy of the Chinese Type 72; a pressure-operated anti-personnel mine, with a plastic casing and minimal metallic content. Very few of these mines were produced and none are believed to have been used. Removing the arming pin allows a spring-loaded safety ring to rotate; the top of the mine is then rotated manually until marks on the casing align. This releases the safety blocks on the pressure plate. Sufficient force then depresses the plate, causing the Belleville spring to invert, driving the firing pin into the ignitor. This initiates the detonator, booster and main charge. | anti-personnel mine | Diameter: 78mm Height: 38mm Weight: 140g Explosive: 51g Range: 15m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| NR 141 | This is a nonmetallic pressure operated antitank landmine. The plastic fuze contains two steel fuze strikers and aluminum primer caps. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 230mm Length:130mm Weight: 6.9kg Explosive: 5.99kg Explosive/filler type: RDX/TNT |
| NR 15 | The mine does not have a fuze well or power source. The NR 15 is the Dutch name for the French MI AP ND 48 blast antipersonnel mine which has been adopted by the Dutch army. The explosive component of the mine is 175 grams of TNT. The mine is initiated by a non-detectable chemical fuze when 6-25 kg of pressure is applied to the top of the mine. | anti-personnel blast mine | Length: 95mm Weight: 600g Explosive: 170g Range: 20m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| NR 201 | This is a nonmetallic pressure operated antitank landmine. The plastic fuze contains two steel fuze strikers and aluminum primer caps. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 230mm Length:130mm Weight: 6.9kg Explosive: 5.99kg Explosive/filler type: RDX/TNT |
| POMZ-2 | The POMZ-2 is an anti-personnel fragmentation stake mine. The POMZ-2 was replaced by the POMZ-2M, which has 5 rows of grooves and a threaded fuze well. Copies of this mine have been produced by numerous countries including China, former East Germany, and North Korea. This mine is usually tripwire initiated using an MUV-series pull fuze. Pull on the tripwire extracts the striker retaining pin, releasing the spring-loaded striker onto the stab-sensitive detonator assembly. Multiple tripwires may be used. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 60mm Height: 130mm Weight: 2.3kg Explosive: 75g Range: 50m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| POMZ-2M | The POMZ-2M is an anti-personnel fragmentation stake mine. The POMZ-2M replaced the POMZ-2, which has 6 rows of grooves and an unthreaded fuze well. Copies of this mine have been produced by numerous countries including China, former East Germany, and North Korea. This mine is usually tripwire initiated using an MUV-series pull fuze. Pull on the tripwire extracts the striker retaining pin, releasing the spring-loaded striker onto the stab-sensitive detonator assembly. Multiple tripwires may be used. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 60mm Height: 107mm Weight: 1.8kg Explosive: 75g Range: 50m Explosive/filler type: TNT |

| NR 442 | The mine consists of an inner container of fragments around an explosive core inside an outer metal sleeve. Upon fuze activation, a propelling charge at the base of the mine hurls the inner container into the air. A steel cord attached to both the mines base and the inner canister reaches its full length and releases the striker pin which detonates the main charge. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 105mm Length: 245mm Weight: 4.50kg Explosive: 560g Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| NR-15 | This is a nonmetallic pressure-actuated blast antipersonnel (apers) landmine which uses an NR-15 pressure-actuated chemical fuze. | anti-personnel blast mine | Diameter: 88mm Length: 65mm Weight: 599g Explosive: 175g Range: 20m Explosive/filler type: TNT |

| TM-35 | The mine is one of the earliest series of former Soviet metallic-cased landmines. A flat metal plate is attached to the top of the pressure lid by a pressure bolt that projects through the lid. The bottom of the bolt is connected to a lever. As pressure depresses the bolt, the lever "see-saws," removing the striker retaining pin from the MUV fuze. A wire handle is located at the hinge side of the mine. Access to the fuze is provided by a side hole closed with a pivoted fuze well cover. | anti-tank mine | Length: 229mm Weight: 5.2kg Explosive: 2.8kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| OINTMENT BOX | The mine is employed around unit positions, in ditches and along roads and trails for its nuisance value. The mine is effective against only the man who steps on it or it may burst a vehicle tire running over it. | anti-personnel/anti-vehicular mine | Weight: 226.8g Explosive: 85g Range: 50m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| OM-1-SHM | This is a delayed-action mine. | delayed-action mine | Diameter: 235mm Length: 705mm Weight: 64.20kg Explosive: 47.20kg |
| OZM (IMPROVISED) | During World War II, the former Soviets employed the improvised OZM bounding fragmentation mine with several mortar and artillery shells. These included the 120-mm mortar shell and the 122- and 152-mm artillery shells. The shells were buried in the ground nose down. Under the nose was a UVK-1 pyrotechnic delay propelling charge with a flash tube leading to the ground surface. Initiation was accomplished by remote electrical firing, pressure, or tripwire activation. This initiation continued along the flash tube, which, in turn, ignited the propellant and delay element. The shell was ejected from the ground, and simultaneously the delay element burned. Detonation normally occurred 1.5 to 2.4 meters above ground, and the target was either personnel or a vehicle. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 152mm Range: 10m |
| TM-46 & TMN-46 | TM-46 is a pressure-operated anti-tank blast mine; TMN-46 is a variant incorporating a secondary fuze well for booby trapping. Copied by Egypt (M/71) and Israel (No 6). When the standard fuze cap is employed, the fuze well will contain an MV-5 or MV-5K fuze. All three types of fuze use a spring-loaded striker released onto a stab-sensitive detonator assembly.The TMN-46 can also be fuzed with an MUV-2 or MUV-3 fuze in the auxiliary fuze well. The TMN-46 is identical to the TM-46 from above, but may be fitted with an anti-disturbance device. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 305mm Height: 108mm Weight: 8.6kg Explosive: 5.7kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| OZM-160 | A subsequent development, the OZM with UVK-1, utilized any of a variety of artillery or mortar shells as the main charge. The OZM-160 mine is a complete package with a standardized charge, an integral fuze, and a munition that is contained in a cylinder for simplified logistics and employment. Employment should not differ substantially from the techniques used with other bounding fragmentation mines. The OZM-160 is one of the original OZM bounding fragmentation mines. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 170mm Weight: 8.8kg Explosive: 4.8kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| TM-62P | 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. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 310mm Length: 100mm Weight: 10kg Range: 10m |
| P2 Mk 2 (AT) and P3 Mk2 | The mine has two fuze wells and does not have a power source. The P2 Mk 2 antitank mine, like the other Pakistani antitank mines, uses a very unique detonation mechanism. A Pakistani antipersonnel mine (like a P2 Mk2 or P4 Mk1) is placed under the raised reinforced plastic pressure plate cover. If 180-300 kg of force is applied to this cover plate, it will break, allowing the antipersonnel mine to function. The antipersonnel mine therefore serves as both the fuze and booster, setting off the main charge of the P2 Mk 2 antitank mine. The mine can also be emplaced without the pressure plate cover, essentially making it difficult to detect. Although rarely used, a large metallic detector ring is shipped with the mine to aid in the detection. | anti-tank mine | Length: 270mm Width: 270mm Height: 130mm Weight: 6.5kg Explosive: 5kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| P2 MK 3 | A Pakistani antipersonnel mine (the P4 Mk1) is placed under the raised reinforced plastic pressure plate cover. If 180 to 300 kg of force is applied to this cover plat, it will break, allowing the antipersonnel mine to function. The antipersonnel mine therefore serves as both the fuze and booster, setting off the main charge of the P2 Mk3 antitank mine. The mine can also be emplaced the pressure plate cover, essentially making it a very large antipersonnel mine. The P2 Mk3 antitank mine, like the other Pakistani antitank mines, uses a very unique detonation mechanism. | anti-tank mine | Range: 10m |
| P2 Mk2 (AP) | This antipersonnel mine can also be used as the fuze for the Pakistani antitank mines such as P2 Mk 3, or the P3 Mk 1. | anti-personnel | Diameter: 70mm Height: 38mm Weight: 140g Explosive: 30g Range: 10m Explosive/filler type: Tetryl |

| P5 MK2 | The P5 Mk 2 antipersonnel mine appears to be an evolutionary change from the P5 Mk 1 claymore type mine. The P5 Mk 2 is larger than its predecessor, and its legs are set wider apart, presumably for increased stability. Although the exact lethal range of this mine is not known, other similar mines have lethal ranges of up to 50 meters. | anti-personnel | Explosive/filler type: P.E. 4 Plastic Explosive |
| P59 | This is a pressure-activated landmine used as an apers munition. The mine is painted black and yellow. Information on markings is unknown. The mine is plastic nylon. | anti-personnel mine | Diameter: 71mm Length: 53mm Explosive: 57g Range: 15m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| P-62 | The fuze has a large detonator similar to the one contained in the MVZ-57 mine fuze. The type and amount of explosive used is unknown. The fuze appears to be very brittle. If it breaks at the shear point, it could cause the mine to function as an antipersonnel mine. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 124mm Length: 45mm Range: 10m |
| P7 MK 1 | The landmine bounds an ARGES 69 hand grenade in the air. | anti-personnel bounding mine | Diameter: 71mm Length: 160mm Range: 20m |
| PARM 1 | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 128mm Range: 20m | |
| PATVAG 59 | The mine consists of a yellow removable shipping/caution cover, weatherproof cover, mine body, firing mechanism, and explosive charge. A variable-thickness glass plate, used to adjust the amount of pressure required for mine initiation, is contained within the mine pressure plate and the striker. During shipping an inert white detonator well plug safely locks the striker out of line with the detonator well. During arming, this safety plug is replaced by a red plug containing the detonator. Pressure applied to the mine forces the striker to break the glass plate, impinging on the detonator. Components of this mine were manufactured in former West Germany and shipped to Switzerland for assembly and explosive filling. The Swiss PATVAG 59 is a small, lightweight, antipersonnel mine. | anti-personnel mine | Diameter: 72mm Explosive: 6g Range: 10m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| PATVAG M3 | The Model M3 is a small antipersonnel mine manufactured by the firm PATVAG AG of Switzerland. The mine may be buried or surface emplaced. A 15.0-kg pressure on the mine case forces the striker to impinge on the detonator, initiating firing of the mine. For safe storage a white shipping plug in the detonator well doubles as a safety, preventing striker movement. | anti-personnel mine | Diameter: 79mm Weight: 90g Explosive: 7g Range: 10m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| PD-MI-PK | The mine can be fired electro-mechanically by a contact cable, by command detonation or mechanically with a tripwire. This is an antivehicle mine. All measurements are approximate. | anti-vehicle mine | Diameter: 401mm Length: 125mm Weight: 8.5kg Explosive: 4.99kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: RDX/TNT |
| PICKET (ANTIPERSONNEL) | Riveted to the underside of the lid is the stirrup-shaped holder, into the center of which is pressed the detonator-locating tube. Passing diametrically through the lid, through slots in the side, is the aluminum cap holder, which is located in the armed and unarmed positions by the spring. The coiled end of the spring engages in the groove in the armed position and in the groove in the unarmed position. The loops at the ends of the cap holders enable the cap holders to be pulled into the armed position by remote control and at the same time prevent it from being pulled out completely. The mine proper consists of a cylinder around which is wound the strip metal loading. The mine is mounted on a wooden picket and contains a 100-gram cartridge of TNT. The mine is closed by a screw-on lid which carries the spring-loaded striker. | anti-personnel | Diameter: 40.6mm Length: 447mm Weight: 794g Explosive: 100g Range: 50m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| PIGNONE P-2 | The mine does not have a power source. The Pignone P-2 is an Italian antitank mine developed by Misar. The P-1 and P-2 antitank mines were follow-ons to Italian World War II landmines. The P-2, a lighter version of the P-1, has a plastic mine body with plastic fasteners and features a rope carry handle. The mine is described as nonmetallic, including even the shear pins, fasteners, and springs. An integral pressure fuze that uses a shear pin and ball release is employed. The P-2 mine fuze pressure plate moves downward under a heavy load, compressing a rubber collar that pushes against the fuze head. Under a 100- to 150-kg load, the fuze head ruptures a shear pin, allowing the fuze pin to compress a rubber cylinder between the striker head and striker until the two retaining balls slide into their side recesses. This releases the striker to fire the percussion cap, booster, and main charge. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 330mm Height: 127mm Weight: 7kg Explosive: 5kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: TNT |

They both weigh approximately 1.25 kg and contain 0.1 kg of TNT. Both are plastic AP blast mines. The PMP 71/1, the first developed, was subject to trials at the frontier forces experimental laboratories; as a result, the design was changed from cylindrical body to a truncated cone, and safety pin holes were slightly enlarged. The improved mine, the PMP 71/2, was developed in 1972, was then delivered to former East German Army and frontier units, where it replaced the older PMN. The PMP 71/2 has a height of 150 mm, a maximum diameter of 125 mm, and a minimum diameter of 65 mm. When a load of 6.0 to 8.0 kg is applied to the integral pressure fuze, a "belleville" spring (a spring-tension washer) is inverted, forcing the striker into the detonator. | anti-personnel | Diameter: 175mm Height: 150mm Weight: 1.5kg Explosive: 100g Range: 15m Explosive/filler type: TNT |

When force is applied to the pressure plate of the mine, the plate crushes, causing the fuze to function and the mine to detonate. The plastic body does provide the mine with a non-metallic construction, thereby limiting the metal content of the mine to fuze components. A carrying handle is provided to aid in transportation. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 300mm Weight: 8.2kg Explosive: 7kg Range: 100m |
| SCRAM 95 | This mine is essentially a rocket with a HEAT warhead mounted on a tripod attached with an IR sensor package. When a valid target passes into the field of view of the sensor, the rocket is fired, destroying the target. | anti-tank mine | Length: 780mm Weight: 5.40kg |
| SH-55 & FD | Figure shows the appearance and dimensions of the SH-55 landmine. The FD mine is identical except for minor differences in construction and dimensions. The FD mine was adopted to replace the SH-55 mine because of design and construction deficiencies in the SH-55 mines body (cracking), and the lack of optimum explosive effect. All fuzes are very similar in external appearance. These are nonmetallic, blast, antitank (AT) landmines which use pneumatic, pressure-actuated, (FD-64, SH-160, and VS-N) fuzes. In addition, it is believed that the pressure-actuated pneumatic fuzes could be replaced with either the VSN/AR-AN, the VS-N-EL2, or the VS-N-TLC pneumatic/electronic fuzes. These fuzes incorporate a pneumatic anti-shock design which reduces the effects of explosive minefield countermeasure techniques such as fuel air explosives (FAE) and explosive line charges. The mines are normally olive drab, brown, sand, or khaki colored plastic. The color will be dependant on the users requirements. Early SH-55 mines have t | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 269mm Length: 137mm Weight: 7.3kg Explosive: 5.5kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: TNT |

| SICA OY | The mine has one fuze well and no power source. The SICA OY is actually a Finish mining charge which can be used as a side-attack mine. The device is a large plate charge which is mounted on a stand. The charge comes in three sizes, ranging from 3.2 kg to 21.5 kg. When the warhead is fired, the plate is formed into a slug which is propelled by the explosives, destroying the target. Although the device is currently fired by command detonation only, it could be upgraded with an IR sensor. | anti-tank mine | Weight: 21.5kg Range: 20m |

| SOAP (INCENDIARY) | The bar burns with an intense flame, but is easily extinguished by water. It is difficult to ignite. No method of ignition has been found, but it is probable that some type of ignition device is inserted into the recess in the side of the bar. This incendiary bar is specifically designed to resemble a bar of "Ivory" soap. | incendiary mine | Diameter: 68mm Length: 106mm Weight: 397g Explosive: 397g Range: 30m Explosive/filler type: Barium Nitrate |
| PP MI-NA | This small mine is designed for quick mechanical laying from vehicles such as the VZ-92 minelayer and helicopters. This mine can also be laid manually. The mine is equipped with safety/arming catch on the side of the mine body to enable safe handling and to arm the mine during mine scattering operations. | anti-personnel | Length: 91.5mm Weight: 170g Explosive: 97g |
| SPR.R.MI | Both ends of the explosive charge are recessed to accept one main fuze detonator and one boobytrap detonator. The mine is initiated by 200.0 kg pressure at either end of the mine or 400.0 kg pressure in the middle. The downward pressure shears one or both shear wires, lowering the explosive charge into the tray. The tray body pulls the actuating pin out of the Z.Z.42 fuze, firing the mine. The SPR.R.MI antitank mine is a munition used by the Old German Army in World War II. This bar mine was the prototype predecessor to the R.MI.43 and R.MI.44. The SPR.R.MI Spreng Riegel mine has also been described as the Spreng Riegel 8.0 kg and the R.MI.8. | anti-tank mine | Length: 840mm Weight: 9.1kg Explosive: 8kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| STM-1 | The STM-1 appears to be a Singapore copy of the French MI AC ID M 52 non-detectable antitank mine. It is a relatively simple, pressure-activated, blast antitank mine. Although the French make both pressure and tilt-rod fuzes for the MI AC ID M 52, the STM-1 has been advertised with only the pressure fuze. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 300mm Weight: 7kg Range: 20m |
| SUB TYPE 2 (TORPEDO) | Subtypes I and II heavy-case bangalore torpedoes are explosive-filled lengths of pipe with extremely threaded ends, ogival nose plugs, and base plugs. Internally threaded couplings join the individually lengths of pipes and facilitate fuze attachment. These bangalore torpedoes are high explosive and blast, and use a pull-friction time fuze. They are classed as light case and heavy case; the heavy-case type is further divided into three subtypes, depending on construction and size. These bangalore torpedoes are used to breach barbed wire entanglements and minefields, and may also be used as demolition charges, mines, or boobytraps. | bangalore mine | Diameter: 45.7mm Length: 990.6mm Range: 20m |
| SUCTION-CUP (ANTI-MATERIAL) | Soldered to the circumference of the forward end, 180 degrees apart, are two metal loops. Into each loop is fitted a solid rubber plug, the forward end of which is made into a shallow suction cup. These suction cups are held in place by metal pins and extend just forward of the leading edge of the mine body. A wooden handle, consisting of two pieces held together by a metal sleeve, fits into a hollow extension welded to the top of the mine body. The initiating element, consisting of pull igniters, safety fuse, prima cord and blasting caps, is rigged in duplicate and extends the length of the handle into a well in the top of the mine body. Four blasting caps are used, two being crimped to forward end of the safety fuse and two being crimped to forward end of the prima cord. If only one section of the handle is used the prima cord may be omitted; in which case the blasting caps of the safety fuse are placed directly into the well of the mine. The initiating element is lashed to the handle of the mine with light | anti-material mine | Diameter: 111mm Length: 1.68m Weight: 3.4kg Explosive: 2kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: RDX/TNT |

| T.MI.35(S) | The T.MI.35(S) is an Old German antitank mine specifically designed for use in desert areas where prevailing winds shift the sandy soil. The mine differs from the T.MI.35 in that it has a fluted pressure plate to hold the sand cover in place, booster charges surrounding the three fuze wells, and a large threaded fuze well plug. The fuze well plug remains as a pressure plug over a Tellermine 42 or 43 fuze. It is removed if the Tellermine 35 fuze is used. The T.MI.35(S) antitank mine has a carry handle and two secondary fuze wells, one in the base and one in the side. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 318mm Weight: 9.5kg Explosive: 5.25kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| T/78 | The fuze opening is located at the front of the mine body where an MUV type fuze is hand installed. Downward pressure on the top of the cover forces the fuze retainer pin out of the striker, releasing the striker into the detonator which begins the explosive train. The T/78 antipersonnel is conventional blast mine commonly referred to as a "shu" mine. Easily detectable. | anti-personnel blast mine | Length: 135mm Weight: 270g Explosive: 190g Range: 20m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| T/79 | The T/79 is a small, circular antipersonnel mine which was designed for air-scatterable delivery or can be hand-emplaced. Since the mine is blast resistant, it will defeat most explosive line charges and fuel air explosives. The T/79 antipersonnel mine, produced in Egypt, is a copy of the Italian VS-50. The main difference is that the Egyptian explosive filler contains TNT, rather than RDX. | anti-personnel | Diameter: 45mm Weight: 190g Explosive: 50g Range: 10m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| T/81 | The mine has no power source. The T/81 antitank mine is a low metallic content munition which actuates when 150 to 310 kg of pressure is applied to the upper surface of the mine.

| TAP-4 | The munition features an aiming sight, two fuze wells, and folding legs. Fuzing is either electrical for command detonation/sensor control or non-electric with a tripwire initiated fuze. The main explosive charge is TNT. The Nicaraguan Ejercito Popular Sandinista (Sandinista Peoples Army -E.P.S.), has developed and fielded a directional fragmentation antipersonnel mine. The directional fragmentation is achieved by the horizontally convex shape of the mines face. | fragmentation mine | Length: 270mm Weight: 3.8kg Explosive: 1.3kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| TARANTEL | The Tarantel is a wide area mine under development by Germany. The mine uses acoustic sensors to identify approaching targets and, when a valid target nears, launches a "skeet" over the target with rockets. Within the skeet are a top-attack warhead and a secondary sensor which initiates the warhead as the skeet passes overhead. The warhead forms an EFP capable of penetration the top armor of the target. | anti-tank mine | Range: 20m |
| TC 68 | The mine uses two combination pressure/pull fuzes which appear to be functionally the same as the U.S. M10 series mine fuzes. The bounding portion of the mine is believed to contain a pyrotechnic fuze and uses an out-of-line detonator with a bore riding pin. This is a bounding anti-personnel mine. | anti-personnel mine | Length: 130mm Explosive: 160g Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: Composition B |
| TC/2.4 | This is a high-explosive antitank (AT) landmine. It employs a pressure-operated fuze. The mine is plastic. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 204mm Length: 106mm Weight: 3.5kg Explosive: 2.4kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: RDX/TNT |

The TS/50 is a cylindrical mine designed to be scattered from helicopters but is usually emplaced by hand, either surface-laid or buried. The mine is blast resistant and is designed to defeat most explosive countermeasures including explosive-line-charges and fuel-air-explosives. Low metal content, hard to detect. | anti-personnel blast mine | Diameter: 90mm Height: 45mm Weight: 186g Explosive: 50g Range: 5m Explosive/filler type: RDX |
| TURTLE | The antiship "Turtle" mine is hemispherical in shape. Its flat-surfaced bottom is magnetized with two rows of circular magnets mounted nearly flush with the mines bottom surface. After being attached by the magnetized bottom to a metal surface, an approximately 45 pounds is required to pull the mine loose. A folding handle is attached near the bottom. The mine has 3 separate fuzes--two main detonator fuzes and 1 antidisturbance fuze. The mine can blow a hole 2 feet in diameter in the average ship. The mine is attached to a ships side, below the waterline, to damage or sink the ship. | anti-ship mine | Diameter: 297mm Weight: 6.8kg Explosive: 3kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| TURTLE-SHAPED | A hinged pressure bar extends across the top of the mine, with a firing pin protruding downward through a guide located above the filler plug then into the filler plug and in line with the detonator, which is threaded into the center of the filler plug. The mine can be rounded or in an A-frame shape. This is an antimaterial, antipersonnel landmine. | anti-material/anti-personnel mine | Diameter: 226mm Length: 140mm Weight: 11.3kg Range: 20m |
| TURTLE-SHAPED, SERRATED | This is an antipersonnel, anti-material landmine. The mine body is cement. | anti-material/anti-personnel mine | Diameter: 132mm Length: 254mm Weight: 5.89kg Range: 20m |
| TURTLE-SHAPED, SMOOTH | This landmine has a smooth outer surface. This is an antipersonnel, antimaterial landmine. | anti-material/anti-personnel mine | Length: 3.55m Range: 20m |
| TYPE 3 | The Type 3 is a relatively simple, pressure-initiated, blast antitank mine. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 250mm Weight: 5kg Explosive: 2kg Range: 100m |
| TYPE 3A | The mine is circular with a slightly concave top and a moderately convex base. This mine may be used as an antivehicular or antipersonnel mine. | anti-personnel/anti-vehicular blast mine | Diameter: 218mm Weight: 5.2kg Explosive: 2kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: Type 88 Explosive |
| TYPE 3B | It is a standard mine manufactured to standard specifications and employing the type 88 explosive charge and its rubber container, the threaded rubber fuze seat, and the same type fuze used in the type 3 (a) land mine. The threaded rubber fuze seat is nailed to the bottom side of the top closing piece beneath a hole provided to allow insertion of the fuze. May be used as either antivehicular or antipersonnel mine. | anti-personnel/anti-vehicular blast mine | Length: 190.5mm Weight: 2.8kg Explosive: 2kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: Type 88 Explosive |
| TYPE 542-L | The landmine can be fitted with an antilift device. It is also undetectable. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 280mm Length: 105 Explosive: 6kg Range: 400m |
| Type 58 | The Chinese variant of the former Soviet designed PMN antipersonnel mine is the Type 58. Two noticeable differences from the original former Soviet version include the all black color and a slightly modified cover on the delay-arming device of the Chinese version. Any remaining features are identical to the original. Contains enough metal to be easily detected. | anti-personnel | Diameter: 112mm Height: 56mm Weight: 550g Range: 10m Explosive: 240g Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| Type 59 (AP) | Stake type mine. The Chinese Type 59 antipersonnel mine is closely patterned after the former Soviet POMZ-2M. | anti-personnel mine | Diameter: 60mm Weight: 1.17kg Explosive: 75g Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| Type 59 (AT) | The Type 59 AT mine is a copy of the former Soviet TMN-46 AT mine. It has been offered for sale by both NORINCO and Poly Technologies, Inc. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 315.7mm Weight: 8.47kg Explosive: 6.02kg Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| TYPE 63 (AP) | The Japanese Type 63 is a small Japanese-produced antipersonnel bounding fragmentation mine. This mine is a copy of the Italian AUS 50/5 mine. The mine fuze is initiated when either pressure is applied to the pressure plunger or the tripwire is activated. This releases the striker pin which ignites black power in a flash tube igniting the bounding charge and main charge time-delay fuze. The entire mine (except for the bottom tip portion of the mine containing the bounding charge) bounds to a height of 50 cm and detonates. Surrounding the main charge is a cement casing imbedded with 858 metallic balls 9.5 mm in diameter. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 140mm Weight: 1.3kg Explosive: 147.5g Range: 20m |
| TYPE 63 (AT) | It has performance and lethality comparable to, or better than the US 19 nonmetallic HE antitank mine. Rubber seals and gaskets ensure waterproof operations for underwater use also. The bottom of the mine has 3 identical sized capped holes--one cap of which has an additional plug probably for an antilift device. The model (type) 63 antitank mine is a round, molded, nonmetallic mine and is similar in size and shape to the US 15 heavy antitank mine. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 304mm Weight: 14.5kg Explosive: 10.9kg Range: 150m Explosive/filler type: Composition B |
| TYPE 63B | The Type 63B is a variant of the Japanese Type 63 mine. It is a relatively simple, pressure-initiated, blast antitank mine. This variant has a secondary fuze well on the bottom for boobytrap purposes which is not present on the Type 63. | anti-tank mine | Explosive: 10.9kg Range: 150m Explosive/filler type: Composition B |
| TYPE 66 | The Chinese Type 66 antipersonnel mine is closely patterned after the US M18A1 Claymore. This type of directed fragmentation mine is used for defensive and ambush purposes. In the front part are 600 steel spheres embedded in a matrix, with a plasticized explosive behind the spheres. The fragmentation face is convex horizontally to direct the fragments and concave vertically to control vertical dispersion. This type mine is normally command detonated with an electrically controlled detonator. However, it can be activated by a pull or tripwire. | fragmentation mine | Length: 218mm Weight: 1.6kg Explosive/filler type: P.E. 4 Plastic Explosive |
| TYPE 67 | The Type 67 is an antipersonnel blast/shape-charge mine that was produced by Japan. This mine is a copy of the Canadian C3A1, or ELSIE, antipersonnel mine. The mines shape is similar to a stake. The mines pointed end is pushed into the ground so as only to expose the top portion of the mine. The shipping plug is removed and the charge assembly with safety clip is inserted into mine the body assembly. Once emplaced into the ground, the safety collar of the mine is removed to arm the mine. Mine will actuate when 7-12 kg force is applied. Upon activation, an explosive charge will detonate sending an explosively formed penetrator upward. | anti-personnel blast mine | Diameter: 30mm Length: 90mm Weight: 90g Explosive: 7.3g Range: 10m Explosive/filler type: Tetryl |
| TYPE 68 | It uses a combination pull/pressure fuze that appears to function the same as the M10 series of mine fuzes. The bounding portion contains a pyrotechnic fuze and utilizes an out-of-line detonator with a bore riding pin. The mine has a burst height of 1.20 meters (3.94 feet) and a lethal range of 20.00 meters (65.62 feet). | anti-personnel mine | Diameter: 79mm Length: 130mm Explosive: 160g Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: Composition B |
| TYPE 69 | This is a high-explosive, bounding, fragmentation, antipersonnel (apers) landmine using a pull/pressure-actuated fuze containing a spring-loaded, cocked firing pin (cocked striker). It may be used as a nonbounding mine by installation of a fuze in lieu of the detonator retainer. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 61mm Height: 168mm Weight: 1,350g Range: 20m Explosive: 105g |
| TYPE 72 (AP) | The Type 72 antipersonnel mine is a small, plastic-bodied device. Low metal content, hard to detect. | anti-personnel | Diameter: 78mm Height: 38mm Weight: 140g Range: 5m Explosive: 51g Explosive/filler type: TNT - RDX - A1 |
| TYPE 72 (AT) | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 270mm Height: 100mm Weight: 6,500g Range: 15m Explosive: 5,400g Explosive/filler type: RDX/TNT | |
| TYPE 72B | The Type 72 antipersonnel mine is a small, plastic-bodied device that has seen widespread use in Afghanistan, Cambodia, Kuwait, and increasingly throughout Africa. While not expected to be encountered, there are two antidisturbance variants of the Type 72. The Type 72B uses a ball-in-cage mechanism to function solely as an antipersonnel mine and a boobytrap device. There have been reports that the Type 72C is very sensitive and can be detonated in the presents of magnetic mine detectors. The South African Non-Metallic Antipersonnel Mine, indigenously produced, is a direct copy of the Chinese Type 72. | anti-personnel | Diameter: 78.5mm Weight: 140g Explosive: 50g Explosive/filler type: RDX/TNT |
| TYPE 72C | The Type 72C AP mine is a second "look-a-like" version of the Type 72 AP mine. It is intended to function both as an AP mine and as a boobytrap device. | anti-personnel | Diameter: 78.5mm Weight: 280g Explosive: 46g Explosive/filler type: RDX/TNT |
| TYPE 80 | The mine is buried in the ground with a dual action tripwire/pressure fuze attached. When the mine is activated, the internal bounding portion of the mine bounds upward to an altitude of 0.4 to 1.8 meters. The main charge of 134 grams of cast TNT then detonates, projecting steel fragments in a 360 degree direction. The Type-80 is a Japanese-produced antipersonnel bounding fragmentation mine. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 77mm Weight: 1.2kg Explosive: 134g Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| Type 81 | The Type 81 signal mine is a warning device that creates an audible and visible alarm. The Type 81 has a snap-in stake to simplify installation. Fuzing is through either tripwire or pressure. The mounting stake, fuze, and detonator are the same as those of the Type 69 bounding fragmentation mine. The signal mines visible alarm is created by the launching of small star clusters up to a height of 80 meters. The visual signal is intended to be visible for 500 meters during daylight hours and 1000 meters at night. An audible signal is also generated that provides a warning up to 1000 meters away. | signal mine | Diameter: 38mm Height: 198mm Weight: 800g |
| TYPE 81 (122mm) | This rocket may be found equipped with an ICM fragmentation warhead (model unknown). The ICM warhead contains 4,100 steel balls. The Type-81 is a 122-mm cluster munition rocket that contains 39 submunitions. These submunitions are called Type-90s (also known as MZDs) and are dual-purpose: once they explode on impact for a blast effect, they fragment into hundreds of steel spheres about 3.5 mm in diameter over a wide area. A reliable failure rate for this submunition is not known | rocket | Diameter: 122mm Length: 2.9m Weight: 66.8kg Range: 20m |
| Type 84 | The Type 84 AT mine appears to be a modified version of the Type 59 AT mine. The reasons for the modification are to bring it to the same size standards as the other mechanically emplaceable mines (Type 69, Type 72, and Type 81 plastic mines). The Type 84 consists of a sheet-metal body with fold-out carrying handle; the explosive charge, fuzes, and boosters; and a diaphragm to separate the pressure plate and explosive charge. The noticeable difference is that there is no side mounted filler plug. Like its predecessor, the pressure plate is stepped on to facilitate crushing and a controlled actuation pressure results from this design. It is not known if the Type 84 has a secondary fuze well for boobytrapping. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 272mm Height: 110mm Weight: 8kg Explosive: 5kg Explosive/filler type: RDX/TNT |
| TYPE 93 | The mine is circular with a slightly domed top and flat bottom. The fuze assembly consists of a striker held under spring pressure by a shear wire, a percussion cap, a primary detonator, and a larger secondary detonator all incorporated in the fuze body which is threaded on the lower end to screw into the collar in the bottom of the mine. A safety cap is screwed into the upper end of the striker until the mine is laid. An additional safety feature is a brass cylinder with attached washer which fits over the brass safety cap and rests on top of the fuze body, the washer fitting under the leather washer of the brass plug. Antipersonnel and antitank. The Japanese have two sizes of shear wire for this mine. One for antipersonnel use shears at 70 pounds, the other, for antitank use shears at 250 pounds. These mines have been found buried upside down with additional explosives placed beneath them to increase their effect. The A/P fuze has a black upper body. | anti-personnel/anti-tank mine | Diameter: 171mm Length: 44mm Weight: 1.3kg Explosive: 907g Range: 300m Explosive/filler type: Piric Acid |
| TYPE 99 | This is a hand-thrown or hand-placed, armor-piercing (AP), magnetically attached mine used to defeat armor. | anti-personnel | Diameter: 121mm Length: 38mm Weight: 1.2kg Explosive: 680g Range: 50m Explosive/filler type: RDX/TNT |
| TYPE 99 (ARMOR PIERCING) | Opposite the filling flap on the outer edge of the mine, is a metal adapter which is externally threaded to receive the fuze. Four equally spaced permanent magnets are attached by khaki webbing to the outer edge of the mine body. The mine is packed two to a wooden box complete with wooden shipping plugs in the fuze adapters. The fuzes are enclosed in tubular metal cases sealed with a paper band and tear string. For carrying on the field, the mines are packed individually in a khaki-colored cloth pouch. The mine resembles a canvas cloth bag, disc shaped, with a snap-fastened flap on the outer edge for inserting the eight blocks of explosive. Used as antitank or antivehicular mine, or against armored fortifications. | anti-vehicle/anti-tank mine | Diameter: 120mm Weight: 4.7kg Explosive: 3.6kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: RDX/TNT |
| TYPE JE | This is a hemispherical, chemical-horned, all-welded mine. The outer body forms a hemisphere and has two handles on its upper portion, a central opening on top to take the booster and safety switch, and two horn openings 180 degrees apart. The mine is divided internally into an explosive chamber and a chamber containing booster, wiring, safety switch, and horn electrodes. The division is made by a shallow, saucer-shaped steel section, which forms less than a hemisphere which is pressed into the outer body from the bottom and welded in place. A plate is then fitted into the bottom of the mine and is also welded in place. This last-mentioned plate also carries a filling plug in its center and is inset 13/16 of an inch to allow clearance for the plug. The horns, two in number, appear to be standard lead-acid mine horns. They are set at an angle of about 65 degrees and project above the level of the mine top; threads are left hand. In the firing circuit is a spring-loaded plunger whose upper end projects through | anti-boat mine | Diameter: 514mm Weight: 48kg Explosive: 21kg Range: 500m Explosive/filler type: Type 98 |
| TYPE R | The destructive action is fragmentation and concussion. The mine throws shrapnel 5-10 meters. Normal distance between mines is 5 paces. There is also a practice model of this mine used for troop training. The Italian Model R antipersonnel mine is similar to the World War II former German "shu" mine and the former Soviet PMD-6. However, the Model R has three scored metal fragmentation plates for increased effectiveness. The 150-gram explosive charge is held in place by a small wooden crossbar attached to the bottom of the case. A slight 2.0- to 3.0-kg pressure causes the hinged lid to rotate down over the lower portion of the case. The edge of the lid then pushes down on the butterfly-shaped striker retaining pin. Enough downward movement frees the cock striker, allowing it to impinge on the percussion cap, igniting the OTO detonator and firing the main explosive charge. | fragmentation mine | Length: 150mm Weight: 453g Explosive: 9.3g Range: 10m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| U/1 | anti-personnel blast mine | Diameter: 57.15mm Weight: 136.08g Explosive: 59.54g Explosive/filler type: TNT | |
| U/I | Cardoen industries manufactured a variety of antipersonnel mines including this conventional fragmentation mine. The mine will function when 5 kg or more of pressure is applied to the lid of the mine. Once detonated, the mine will scatter metal fragments over a distance of 20 meters. Mines are shipped in boxes containing eight mines each. Fuzes are shipped in the safety position and detonators are placed in a separate box and then packaged in a special compartment within the box of each mine. | fragmentation mine | Length: 240mm Weight: 5.80kg |
| U/I | The North Korean antitank mine is a copy of the former Soviet Union TMD-B wooden-box mine. The TMD-B has three pressure boards on the top, which, when crushed, will initiate the detonator. The small metallic content of the mine is found in the MV-5 fuze and in the nails used to hold the box together. A carrying handle is attached to one side of the box. The mines are designed so that they can be fabricated under field conditions with available materials, resulting in a variance of weights and dimensions. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 315mm Weight: 9.7kg Explosive: 9.7kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: Amatol |
| U/I (APERS) | This is a bounding, fragmentation antipersonnel (apers) landmine which uses a tripwire pull fuze. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 120mm Length: 300mm Weight: 3.6kg Explosive: 770g Range: 300m |
| U/I (BOUNDING FRAGMENTATION STAKE) | The cylindrical mine can be actuated by applying 5 kg of pressure to the fuze or 2 kg of tension if the mine has been emplaced with tripwires. The mounting stake provides much needed stability in loose sandy soils, even though not normally associated with a bounding fragmentation type mine. This is a bounding fragmentation stake mine. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 54mm Length: 165mm Range: 20m |
| U/I (BOUNDING) | The mine fuze appears to be a copy of the No. 12 Israeli bounding fragmentation fuze. This bounding fragmentation contains a mine body which is propelled into the air by detonation of a small charge in the base of the mine. The mine is initiated by pressure or pull release if the mine is emplaced with tripwires. | fragmentation mine | Range: 20m |
| U/I (DIRECTED FRAGMENTATION) | This mine is normally electrically command detonated. It is mounted on a set of supports and aimed horizontally. For sighting to a target area, a removable tube-shaped aiming piece is inserted in the top-located sight mounting. This heavy antipersonnel directed-fragmentation mine is reported to be effective to a range of 200 meters. A 10.0-kg charge of melinite is used to propel 676 19-gram fragments in a directed cone of coverage. At 200 meters one fragment per square meter coverage is generated. | fragmentation mine | Length: 310mm Weight: 21.5kg Explosive: 10kg Range: 400m Explosive/filler type: Melinite |
| U/I (DIRECTED-FRAGMENTATION) | This mine is similar to the U.S. claymore antipersonnel mine | fragmentation mine | Length: 165mm Range: 10m Explosive/filler type: Trotyl / Ammonite 80 |
| U/I (FRAGMENTATION-PLATE CHARGE) | All three mines utilize a two-piece stand with four legs, a rear centrally located fuze well, and a top-mounted aiming device with a flat dovetailed viewing section. These mines are normally fired by controlled electric detonation. This antivehicular directed-fragmentation plate-charge mine is "aimed" horizontally at large at a target area. The device is reported to be capable of striking a target 4 meters long and 2 meters high with 20 pieces of shrapnel at 90 meters. Thirteen of these hits will penetrate 10mm of armor plate. This is one of a series of three mines: antipersonnel, antivehicular, and one antitank mine. These mines are all flat-cylindrical in shape. The antivehicular versions use a shaped-charge effect to project fragments. | anti-vehicle mine | Diameter: 380mm Weight: 18kg Explosive: 11.1kg Range: 500m Explosive/filler type: |
| U/I (HU) | This is an obsolete, WW II era mine. The case is cheap, and although it is somewhat waterproof, will not survive prolonged exposure to the elements. The one advantage the case does provide mine is its non-metallic construction, thereby limiting the total metal content of the mine to the fuze and making the mine difficult to detect. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 297mm Weight: 5.4kg Range: 10m Explosive/filler type: Trotyl / Ammonite 80 |
| U/I (NONMETALLIC) | In the top center of the mine body is an angular groove encircling the detonator well. The detonator well is threaded and enclosed with a threaded closing plug, the head of which contains a screwdriver slot. This unknown model Swiss antipersonnel mine is a blast-effect mine intended to inflict light injuries against foot troops. The very small spheroid-shaped 44.5-mm-diameter mine has a total weight of 13.2 grams. The explosive content is 8.6 grams of high explosive (PETN). Despite the small size of the mine, it has been assessed to be an effective antipersonnel device. This Swiss mine is a small disk-shaped antipersonnel mine having a high-explosive-filled body with an integral striker located at the bottom of the detonator well. | anti-personnel blast mine | Diameter: 44.5mm Weight: 10g Explosive: 8.6g Range: 10m Explosive/filler type: PETN |
| U/I (SHALLOW-WATER) | Egypt produces a variety of shallow-water mines including the MAL/17 and this unidentified variant which are designed as moored mines. One version uses a single top-mounted pressure mast or tiltrod. The other type uses the more standard arrangement of three pressure masts. In both versions, the upper section contains the blast warhead. The lower sections contain buoyant material for flotation. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 380mm Range: 10m |
| U/I (TH) | This is a relatively simple, pressure-initiated, blast antitank mine. Although this is the only antitank mine produced by Thailand, they do produce two pressure activated antipersonnel mines. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 230mm Length: 130mm Weight: 5kg Explosive: 3.5kg Range: 100m |
| U/I (WOOD "SHU") | The mine has one fuze well and no power source. This wooden antipersonnel mine is of the classic "Shu Mine" design. The case is a wooden box, impregnated with creosote or tar. A hinged lid serves as a pressure plate. Contained in the case are a simple pull-type fuze and a main charge enclosed wooden yoke that transmits the actuating pressure to the winged striker-retaining pin of the fuze. Some of the mines are fitted with a piece of thin sheet metal which is pivoted on the front of the case. When this strip is turned to a vertical position, a greater pressure is required to bend it and actuate the mine. | anti-personnel | Length: 23mm Weight: 2.45kg Explosive: 1.72kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| U/I IT (STAKE) | The mine has one fuze well and no power source. This Italian tripwire-initiated antipersonnel fragmentation mine is very similar in appearance to the Italian V5 stakemine. However, this mine is nearly twice as long as the V5 with a serrated metallic fragmentation body mounted on a wooden stake. A tripwire fuze is used in the top of the mine to initiate the charge within the fragmentation body. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 38mm Height: 210mm Range: 20m |
| U/I TH (AP.1) | When pressure is applied to the top of the mine, the fuze functioned, setting off the mine. The plastic body does provide the mine with a non-metallic construction, thereby limiting the total metal in the mine to fuze components. Two different models of antipersonnel mine are manufactured by Thailand. This is a relatively simple pressure initiated, blast antipersonnel mine indigenously produced by the Thais. | anti-personnel blast mine | Diameter: 100mm Length: 400mm Weight: 130g Range: 10m |
| U/I TH (AP.2) | This is a relatively simple pressure initiated, blast antipersonnel mine indigenously produced by the Thais. When pressure is applied to the top of the mine, the fuze is functioned, setting off the mine. Two different models of antipersonnel mine are manufactured by Thailand. | anti-personnel blast mine | Diameter: 80mm Length: 40mm Range: 10m |
| UDAR | The UDAR is a bounding antipersonnel /antimaterial mine with a fuel air explosive warhead. This device was designed to function primarily as an antipersonnel mine. It has very little utility as a mine clearing system. There are two versions of the UDAR available, a light and heavy version. The smaller UDAR is half the total warhead size of the larger one. While possible to rig to function from traditional pressure, and contact fuzes, the preferred initiation method is command control. The UDAR mines were developed to the prototype state and then offered for international sales without ever going into full-scale production. | anti-material/anti-personnel mine | Weight: 40kg Explosive: 20kg Range: 500m Explosive/filler type: Explosive Fuel |
| UDM | Bottom, acoustic-influence. | naval mine | N.E.W.: 645.35kg |
| UI-POM-2S | The training mine is designed to be fired out of the same delivery systems as the actual mine, the UMZ vehicle mounted system, the PKM portable system, or the VSM-1 helicopter mounted delivery system. Like the POM-2S, the UI-POM-2S orients itself with self-righting legs and deploys its tripwires. However, only a small smoke charge is initiated if the wires are disturbed. The UI-POM-2S is a training version of the POM-2S scatterable antipersonnel mine. | anti-personnel training mine | Diameter: 60mm Range: 20m Explosive/filler type: Smoke Charge |
| UI-TM-60 SIMULATOR | The UI-TM-60 is a widely used training mine developed by the former Soviet Union. Smoke effects are incorporated in the functional fuze for use in exercises. When a tank track runs over this mine, the lid compresses two springs and continues downward to shear two copper shear pins. The shearing action allows two balls, involved in the load limiter, to fall aside and release the striker. The striker detonates the primer on the SP-60 signal cartridge. The primer initiates a pyrotechnic delay, and after 3 to 4 seconds the signal charge is ignited. The SP-60 emits two red and two green stars. The UI-TM-60 can also be electrically command detonated and is reusable. | anti-tank mine | Length: 320mm Weight: 8.7kg Range: 20m Explosive/filler type: Smoke Composition |
| UITMD-B & UITMD-44 | These are practice antitank (AT) landmines. The practice mines employ an MV-5/MV-5K pressure-operated fuze. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 320mm Length: 290mm Weight: 9.5kg Explosive: 390g Range: 30m Explosive/filler type: Smoke Charge |
| UKA-63 | The UKA-63 is multipurpose in that it can operate as a belly-attack, track-attack, or side-attack mine with effective ranges from 0 to 50 meters. The plate-charge will probably have only limited success against tank armor when used in the side-attack mode but would be very successful against lightly armored vehicles. The size of this mine is consistent with that of other mines manufactured by the former Warsaw Pact countries. The UKA-63 can be emplaced mechanically as well as manually and by means of a chute. Although not expected to be encountered, there is a whole family of other fuzes designed for use in this mine, including a tilt-rod fuze. The UKA-63 is a metallic-cased cylindrical mine which produces its effect by means of explosively formed fragments. Few technical details are known, but comparative analysis of this and other similar mines has yielded some information. It is reported that four fuzing schemes are possible of which only a tilt-rod fuze is known. Other candidate fuzes are pressure, seismi | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 300mm Weight: 9kg Range: 20m |
| UTMD-B & UTMD-44 | These are inert antitank (AT) landmines. The service and practice mines employ an MV-5/MV-5K pressure-operated fuze. The UTMD-B and UTMD-44 inert training mines and the UITMD-B and UITMD-44 practice mines are identical in appearance and dimensions to the service mines. | anti-tank mine | Diameter: 320mm Length: 290mm Weight: 9.5kg Range: 10m Explosive/filler type: None |
| V 5 | The V 5 is an obsolete Italian-produced antipersonnel mine. This mine has a scored metallic fragmentation body mounted on a wooden stake. A tripwire fuze is used in the top of the mine to initiate the cast TNT charge within the fragmentation body. | fragmentation mine | Diameter: 50mm Length: 120mm Explosive: 90g Range: 50m Explosive/filler type: TNT |
| V-69 | Valmara 69 (V-69) is a bounding fragmentation antipersonnel landmine which can be actuated by pressure or pull on a tripwire. Actuation of the fuze initiates an ejection charge in the base of the mine, blowing the mine body out from the outer pot.

The BLU-24/B and BLU-66/B differ from the BLU-24B/B and BLU-66A/B in that the latter bombs have grooved fragmenting bodies covered by a plastic cover to counter any adverse aerodynamic characteristics the grooves might create. The safety plug is removed before loading the bomb into a dispenser. | scatterable munitions | Diameter: 71mm Length: 94mm Weight: 726g Explosive: 119g Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: Cyclotol |
| BLU-61A/B | This is an aerial dispensed, centrifugal armed, impact-fired, high explosive incendiary, antimaterial, fragmentation bomb. It is detonated by an M219E1, all-way fuze. The bomb is painted olive drab without markings. Each hemisphere is made from a coined steel fragmentation liner, and a liner of pyrophoric material (for incendiary effect) of zirconium-tin. The hemispheres are encased in a urethane plastic shell. The clamp ring is stainless steel. | scatterable munitions | Diameter: 99mm Length: 99mm Weight: 1.2kg Explosive: 277g Range: 200m Explosive/filler type: Octol |

| TMD-44 | TMD-44 is a wooden-cased pressure-operated anti-tank mine. The mine uses the MV-5 or MV-5K pressure-actuated fuze. Sufficient pressure on the top of the mine collapses the lid and compresses the spring of the MV-5 fuze until the retaining ball escapes, releasing the striker onto the stab-sensitive detonator assembly. | anti-tank mine | Length: 320mm Width: 290mm Height: 160mm Weight: 9.5kg Explosive: 6kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: TNT & Picric Acid |

| PGMDM/ PTM-1S/ PTM-1G | Both of these mines have been extensively used by former Soviet forces in Afghanistan. After ejection from the scattering system, a pyrotechnic element arms the mine (following a 30-second delay), initiates a clockwork self-destruct delay timer, and releases a safety bock enabling the mine pressure sensor. The clockwork timer has 12 incremental settings ranging from 1 to 20, presumably hours. Longitudinally inside the mine is a pressure tube that transmits pressure to the fuze. This scatterable antivehicular blast mine complements the PFM-1 (and PFM-1S) antipersonnel mine. | anti-vehicular blast mine | Length: 337mm Width: 70mm Height: 69mm Weight: 1.6kg Explosive: 1.1kg Range: 100m Explosive/filler type: PVV-12S, Liquid Plastic Explosives |
