To counter the maneuver and the advancement of enemy forces on land are widely used minefields – artificial barriers erected in advance or directly before the fighting with the aim of causing maximum damage to the enemy manpower and destroy their equipment and weapons.

Among all the engineering ammunition is the most effective antipersonnel mine of directed action mon-50. For the first time this type of explosive projectiles were used during the fighting in Afghanistan. Since then Mina has been greatly improved and developed in the form of several modifications.

Landmine

Mon-50 – first national fragmentation mine designed to destroy enemy manpower. Is a rectangular prism made of plastic. It can be used to destroy the soldiers in armored cars and other light armored vehicles.mine mon 50Defeat the enemy applied metal balls (diameter 6.35 mm) or rollers (rollers). Anti-personnel mine mon-50 with metal clips more damaging purpose because of the special shape of submunitions.

Depending on the type of installed fuse mine is able to operate with the remote control at the operator's command or when moving a soldier of the enemy break off/tension sensor. Engineering the projectile is installed on the ground on a special folding legs or mounted to a horizontal surface and the local objects with clamps.

The design of the mon-50

Externally, mine is a narrow convex rectangular prism. Its design includes five main elements: the body, submunitions, fuse, explosive charge and clamp.

The Housing is made of plastic. This reduces the overall weight of the projectile and at the same time complicates its detection by mine detectors. In the upper part of the body has two threaded holes for installation of fuses under the electric detonator EDP-R or bookmark fuse MD-5M and the sighting slit and an arrow indicating the direction of action. On the bottom wall of the mine mon-50 has folding legs for mounting the device in the snow or in the ground, and also the flange for connection of clamp.anti-personnel mine mon 50As the striking elements are the metal balls (diameter 6.35 mm) or cylinders (rollers) with a height of 7 mm and weighing 1.5 grams. The pieces are arranged in a single layer on the inner side of the convex part of the hull and filled with epoxy resin. The same dimensions and geometry of the damaging elements allow them to spread evenly in space, to preserve its original speed due to good aerodynamic shape.

Explosive charge and detonating device

As an explosive charge is used RDX. Its weight – 0.7 kg, location – behind the lethal elements (fills the entire free from debris cavity). Mine mon-50 for the detonation of the charge electric detonator is armed EDP-R or fuse MD-5M nakalyvanie mechanism.anti-personnel mine of directed action mon 50Both devices are used for remote detonation of explosives. EDP-R looks like a detonator cap, which is placed in the barrel of the electric igniter with the bridge filament of nichrome or platinumiridium alloy. EB has established himself as one of the most reliable.

The Unmanaged option is the mines is armed by a fuse of the MVE-72 or MUV, used in the years of the Second world war. In this case, the mine is actuated by moving the sensor fuse (of MVE-72) or the displacement of the wire of the detonator series MSY.

Performance characteristics

The ancestor of the mon-50 mines were engineering M18 Claymore munition of US troops, which is actively used in the fighting in Vietnam.installation mine mon 50TTH mon-50 mines differ from the specifications of the American counterpart, more focused radius of scattering of splinters, and a number of other indicators:

  • The total mass of mines – 2 kg;
  • Dimensions (Shmht) – 226 x 90 x 66 mm;
  • Number of slaughter of the elements – 485 540 balls or rollers;
  • The defeat of the sector – 54O;
  • The radius of scattering of splinters – 50 m, height – 4 m;
  • The range of the vehicles and manpower in it – to 30 m

The Mine is able to remain in the cocked position an unlimited amount of time. Mechanisms of self-destruction, anti-handling devices and single not provided. Safe removal from a mine in the rear – 30 meters. But in practice, judging by the reviews, the fragments do not affect the personnel on the removal of 12-15 meters.

Setting up the mines in the ground

Several methods can be set mon-50 (mine). Methods of mining depend on terrain conditions and climatic conditions.TTX mine mon 50To advance the fixation device in the ground should:

  1. Loosen the plug fuse.
  2. Foot to Push and rotate the shell with the convex side to the enemy.
  3. Using the sights to bring the device to the target.
  4. Push the legs of the mines in the soil to a depthensure a stable position.
  5. Screw into the ignition slot one of the detonators.
  6. To Disguise mine.

When you use EDP-R connect the cable to the electrical control network. If the situation permits, to set a milestone aiming a vertical height of 60 (160) cm, at a distance of 10 (30) meters.

Setting the mines on the snow, on local subjects

Setting mines mon-50 with snow drifts of less than 20 cm is carried out on a pre-Packed snow bag, which is laid on well-compacted snow. After the installation of engineering ammunition, he sprinkled to the lower edge of the body, and also masked by fresh snow. It is important that the thickness of the snow in front of a convex wall was not more than 10 cm.

If the terrain conditions do not allow to fix mine in the ground or snow, then its set of local items. For this purpose, the flange on the bottom of the case screwed clamp. It using the screw fixed to wooden poles, trees, and using an adapter screw and nuts – on the structures of metal. The order of bringing the mines is not modified.

Methods of neutralization

The Technology of neutralization of mines depends on the type of the installed detonator. If you are using the managed type fuse EDP-R, then you must:

  1. Disconnect the detonator from the control network.
  2. Unmask the mine and remove the fuse.
  3. Remove the device from the installation site.

If mine mon-50 loaded with a fuse of the MVE-72, its neutralization is impossible. In this case it is being destroyed by trawling in accordance with the instructions. When using rare fuses PDM-6h or PDM-144ч (time-delay fuses) the clearance of landmines is carried out exclusively prepared by engineers in accordance with the instructions for this type of detonators.

Military use

Mon-50 Mines were widely used to protect the borders, airfields, outposts of the Soviet troops during the Afghan war. It is particularly widespread method unit installation of minefields in the gorges, where, according to intelligence sources, had to go through the caravans or the units of the rebels.

In the course of military operations mine mon-50 has earned a wide fame to the Soviet soldiers, especially those who had to bear long hours of service on patrol or at checkpoints. The result of “national glory" was the emergence of a modification of the mon-90, which was supposed to stand a greater range of fragments (to 90 m).MES 50 mine how miningBut in practice, the lethal elements of the mine mon-90 barely reached a milestone of 50 meters. Due to the same efficiency, but much greater weight and dimensions, this modification does not have the fame of the soldiers. Currently, there are several modifications of the munition with a range of 100 and 200 meters.
