MON-100
The number "100" indicates the lethal range: 100 meters.
The MON-100 and MON-200 are large cylindrical directional fragmentation mines that differ significantly from the smaller MON-50 and MON-90.
Designed to incapacitate enemy personnel. When a mine is detonated, a person (or several at the same time) is hit by explosives (rollers) that fly towards the enemy in a narrow beam about 5 meters wide at a distance of up to 115 meters (with a probability of hitting 90%). It is intended exclusively for controlled anti-personnel minefields.
The mine has one fuse slot in the center of the concave side of the body. It can accommodate both electric and non-electric detonators. The mine has a U-shaped metal frame with a peg for installation. The metal frame has 2 hinges that allow the mine to be oriented in a specific direction. The mine is also equipped with a canvas handle on the side of the body for carrying.
When installing the mine in a controlled version, the detonation is carried out by the operator from the control panel when the enemy appears in the sector of destruction. The mine produces a very dense, narrow beam of fragments.
The mine is installed manually on the ground or attached to local objects. For this purpose, the mine has a special bracket that can be driven into local objects. The bracket is equipped with mounting bolts that provide the ability to target the mine. The mine is installed, as a rule, in a controlled version and explodes from an EDP-R electric detonator or mechanically (a MUV or MUV-2 detonator with an MD-5M fuse and tensioning wire). The mine can also be used with a MVE-72 / MVE-NS detonator, which has a target sensor in the form of an inconspicuous thin break wire, 50/40 meters long, respectively. It is extremely difficult for the operator to determine whether the enemy is in the zone of impact. It is necessary to aim the mine very precisely, and it is not equipped with any sighting devices. Therefore, the MON-100 mine is proposed to be used only by groups in narrow places (defiles, gorges, narrow streets, passages). The safe distance from the mine to the rear and to the sides is determined at 35 meters, but combat practice shows that individual fragments of the body and bracket fly to the rear and to the sides for a much longer distance.
The color is green or brown. The marking is standard, applied with black paint on the side wall and contains: − MON-100 - mine code; − B-2515-1-82 - manufacturer's code - batch number - year of manufacture (the numbers may be different); − T - equipment code.
