The PARM 1 (DM12) and its improved version (DM22) is a German off-route mine that fires a fin stabilized rocket. PARM stands for PanzerAbwehrRichtMine , anti-tank directional mine. Development
An anti-tank or AT mine is a type of land mine designed to damage or destroy vehicles including tanks and armored fighting vehicles. Compared to anti-personnel mines, anti-tank mines typically have a much larger explosive charge, and a fuze designed to be triggered by vehicles or, in some cases, remotely or by tampering with the mine.
The mines originally could be triggered by a variety of means, including contact wire and infra-red fuses, however as a result of Austrian laws, they now only use command detonation. The ATM-7 is a slightly larger and more powerful mine, capable of projecting a fragment that can penetrate 70 mm of armour at 80 m range, producing a hole ...
ТМ-83 mine in a training area. The TM-83 is a Soviet off-route anti-tank mine with a shaped charge, developed in 1983, and first shown publicly in 1993.The mine utilises the Misznay Schardin effect to create an armour-penetrating projectile, and is activated using its infrared and seismic sensors.
The M24 mine is a United States off-route land mine based on the M28A2 high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rocket normally fired by an M20 Super Bazooka 3.5 inch rocket launcher. The rocket was launched from an M143 plastic launch tube.
The mine is intended to be hidden from direct view of the intended target, off to the side of a probable vehicle route, usually a road, to attack the weaker armour on the sides and rear of a vehicle. The mine can be triggered by either a contact fuze (MPB-ZK variant) or an influence fuze (MPB-ZN variant) based on infrared and acoustic sensors ...
ARGES, ACEATM or MACPED [1] is an anti-tank off-route mine, developed by an international consortium [clarification needed] to meet the needs of the British, French and German armed forces. The system consists of a rocket and launch tube, a tripod and a sensor package.
The mine is intended for incapacitating and demolition of enemy armoured and other combat and transport vehicles. It has a destructive and penetrating effect. The activation force by a bar is 13–17 N (1.3–1.7 kgf ; 2–4 lbf ) and by pressure 1500–3500 N (150–350 kgf; 330–780 lbf).
