Design
The landmine consists of a plastic ribbed hinged upper case which rests on the fuzes placed into the lower plastic case. The front side of the lid has two slots which accommodate the two fuze strikers which protrude through two holes at the front base when the landmine is armed.
The hinged lid has 6 longitudinal and 3 transverse ribs on the top with the 3 transverse ribs crossing each other at the center of the lid.
Operation
When sufficient pressure is placed on the upper lid the strikers are released from the fuzes.
Charge
This initiates the main charge, which consists of up to twenty 400g blocks of TNT.
Fuze
The landmine is fitted with a variety of fuzes, (RO-1, MUV-2, MUV-4), including locally produced variants.
Pressure
If the two shear pins are not used, the landmine will function with 1 to 5 kilograms (2.20 to 11.02 pounds) of pressure.
