Anti-tank mine
An anti-tank assembly mine is a land mine for defense against armored combat vehicles that uses the detonation effect in a directed manner. Depending on the type produced in the detonation, either a shaped charge sting or a projectile-shaped hollow charge in a metal plate or a flat cone by the explosion pressure to a projectile is deformed.
The mines can be buried in the ground and triggered by pressure or magneto ignition when the tank (or a heavy civil vehicle) drives over them, or they can be set up on the side of the road and then triggered by sensors.
