The MPB-ZN off-route anti-vehicle combat landmines:
MPB-ZN (influence fuze) and MPB-ZK (contact fuze) are designed for eliminating armoured fifighting vehicles and means of military transport from battlefi eld by striking side parts of them. The mines are also effective in eliminating vehicles with reactive armour. They may be scattered in urban areas, mountain passes, forests and every time in conditions which make the use of other antitank mine impossible or useless.

MPB-ZN/Sz and MPB-ZK/Sz training mines are designed to conduct exercises and simulations of use MPB-ZN and MPB-ZK combat mines for army’s combat engineer units. Both of them are adapted to multiple manual setting at the scene of military exercises.

Operation
Influence fuze gives MPB-ZN mine ability of remote detection of approaching targets by means of acoustic sensors and subsequently causes warhead to detonate when target crosses optic axis of coaxially installed thermal sensor. Contact fuze (for MPB-ZK) causes detonation of the mine when crawler’s caterpillar tracks or wheels of a vehicle run onto electro-mechanical, stress sensors (10 pcs). The mine is automatically self destructed after elapse of set time, on condition that no target has appeared before. The mine has two security stages connected in series, which ensure the safety of operation both during transport and storage and in the mine scattering process.

MPB-ZN/Sz and MPB-ZK/Sz training mines have no explosive material inside the warhead. The mine’s current state and transition between states indicated is by six described light spots. The final state„detonation” activates smoke cube connected to appropriate slot and results with taking photo of passing target.
