Description
The TM-62M Russian Anti-Vehicle Mine is a high-explosive (HE), large, metal-cased, anti-vehicle (AV), blast landmine which may be laid mechanically or by hand. The landmine is part of the TM-62 series, further developed from the TM-46 and TM-57 to offer improved capability and greater flexibility.

Design
The cylindrical body has a stepped top surface with a centrally threaded fuze well, sealed with a threaded plug during transit.
Fuze
In addition to a conventional pressure fuze (MVCh-62), the landmine accepts a variety of other fuzes that give it a full-width attack capability against vehicles.
The fuze well is the same size as the one in the TM-72.
The TM-62M will, therefore, accept the MVN-72 and MVN-80 magnetic influence fuzes.
Note
Unlike previous models, the landmine body is filled to the surface with explosives and does not have a collapsible pressure plate.
