Specifications
Specifications
The original TM 65 used a US-65 fuze as used in the SM-65 anti-personnel mine, the later TM 65 77 uses a pressure fuze similar to the Russian MV-5 fuze called Painesytytin 77. The fuze is covered with a plastic pressure plate, giving it an activation pressure of 150 to 300 kg. However, if this is not installed, the mine will activate with a pressure of a few kg. The mine also has a secondary fuze well on the side for the installation of anti-handling devices or daisy chaining several mines.
Diameter: 320 mm Height: 110 mm Weight: 10 kg Explosive content: 9.5 kg of cast TNT, plus a total of 61 g of Hexogen (A RDX/TNT mix) in the fuze and booster. Operating pressure: 150 to 300 kg
