Adrushy mine

The Adrushy is an Indian glass-reinforced, plastic-cased anti-tank landmine.

Design

The mine uses a copper-lined shaped charge to attack the underside of vehicles as they pass over the mine. The shaped charge is claimed to be able to penetrate in excess of 100nbsp;mm of armour. The mine uses a battery-powered electronic fuzing which uses a combination of a seismic sensor and a magnetic influence sensor to trigger the mine at the optimal point. It is fitted with a tilt-based anti-handling device: once armed the mine will trigger if it is tilted more than 20 degrees. The electronic fuze allows the mine to self-neutralize after a programmable period of 10, 20, 40, 80 or 120 days.

The mine is somewhat similar in appearance to the Italian SB-MV/1 mine.
