ABSTRACT:
The land mine, comprises a flat mine housing having top and bottom flat broad surfaces and a side edge which is at least partly cylindrical. A tubular bushing extends in the housing between the top and bottom and it is closed on one of the surfaces by a cover. A firing system is located in the bushing for igniting an explosive charge which is contained in the remaining portion of the housing. Either or both of the top and bottom surfaces contain one or more projectile-forming hollow charge covers which engage directly over the explosive charge located within the housing. The mine may be formed with a half-cylindrical surface and a flat edge having a notch for engagement over a central mounting rod, or the mine may be made as a complete cylinder or disc. The hollow-charge liners are advantageously made circular and are arranged at one or more equally spaced locations around the surface of the top and bottom of the mine housing.
