Description
This conventional steel-cased mine resembles the World War II German Tellermine 43 and the French metallic model 1948, but has a considerably larger explosive charge. This mine has two secondary fuze wells; one in the side of the mine and one in the bottom. It has a main charge and three booster charges—one surrounding each of the two boobytrap wells and the main fuze well. A pressure plate is placed over the main fuze well, which is located in the center of the top surface of the case.
This mine is employed in conventional minefields to damage tracks and suspension systems of armored vehicles.
