Design
The landmine is cylindrical with a hemispherical top and flat bottom.
A thin aerial-like wire extends from the top of the landmine and is the S3 scratch wire contact fuze.
Five or more metal legs (depending on the model/variant) around the base of the landmine fold out to stand the landmine upright.
Fuze
The landmine is triggered when the scratch wire fuze drags along the bottom of a vehicle or when it is crushed by pressure.
Additionally, the landmine has a magnetic-influence fuze.
Parachute
Additionally, the landmine is fitted with a small plastic parachute when it is deployed from rockets to reduce the impact when the landmine lands.
