Description

Two incredible Cold War mines manufactured by Poland. Excellent show pieces. The MN-111 and MN-121 are both anti tank mines that were in use during the Cold War. These mines are authentic deactivated military stock. They CONTAIN NO EXPLOSIVES OR EXPLOSIVE CAPS.
These mines are commonly sold as “Russian” in origin but are in fact Polish made, thus making them a bit more scarce than the other Eastern Bloc countries.
The MN-111 is tough to find with the cap not pitted due to the way they were stored. Mine have no pitting and thus make them more difficult to acquire in this condition.
The MN-121 is in excellent shape with no visible issues whatsoever. Description of mines use as well as other characteristics are below.
It is a Polish air-dropped
anti-tank landmine
. The mine is designed for use on soft ground. The mine is cylindrical with six spring-loaded fins attached to one end of the mine, with the cylinder drawn to a point at the opposite end which is topped with a small wind vane. The mine is stored with the fins wrapped round the outside of the mine. Once the mine is dropped from the aircraft the fins spring outward, acting as a drag parachute, slowing the rate of descent to a peak speed of about 60 meters per second. As the mine drops the wind vane spins, generating the power used to arm the mine.
The mine is designed to penetrate soft ground up to the fins, which spread out flat across the ground. The mine uses a magnetic influence fuze, which is triggered by the magnetic field of an armoured vehicle. It also has an
anti-handling device
which triggers the mine if it is disturbed.
The warhead is a shaped charge or
Misznay-Schardin effect
design that the manufacturer claims can penetrate 70 millimeters of armour at a stand-off of half a meter.
