Description
The former Soviet MON-200 is a larger version of the MON-100 mine. It consists of a metallic case containing the explosive charge and 900 steel fragments (12mm X 12mm) and a metal stand. Like the MON-100, the cylindrical steel fragments are embedded in a plastic matrix in front of the explosive. The mine can be attached to any fixed object or mounted on its own metal stand. The MON-200 can be functioned by tripwire, a break-wire or command detonated and has a lethal range of 200 meters. The MON-200 can be used singly or as part of an integrated explosive barrier. The mine is not only effective against dismounted infantry but also against personnel in lightly armored vehicles.
