Description
The Mine GS Mk IV has three principal components: the loaded mine body, the pressure plate, and the fuze. The pressure plate covers the entire top of the mine and is attached to the mine body by four pins, which engage in four slots in metal clips attached to the body. During normal shipment and storage, adhesive tape binds the pressure plate to the mine body.
This mine is used as a defense against armored cars, tanks, and other vehicles.
