Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Totally inert and demilitarized according to BATF guidelines with hollow body and inert fuse. This mine cannot be converted to an explosive device and is not available for export.
The TM-62 is a Soviet anti-tank blast mine made in many variants. It has a central fuze and typically a 7.5 kilograms (17 lb) explosive charge, but the variants vary greatly in detail. The mine can be laid manually or automatically from a mine laying machine including the PMR-1, PMR-2 wheeled towed mine layers, the GMZ-3 tracked mine laying vehicle and the VMR-2 helicopter mine laying system.
The TM-62 can be fitted with the same fuzes as the TM-72, which include MVN-72 and MVN-80 fuzes which are vibration and magnetism sensitive. In a static test, the TM-62M proved capable of penetrating the hull of a Centurion tank, killing the simulated crew of animals inside. Measures approximately 12 1/4" in diameter and 5" tall.
Later versions of this mine were used in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine where Ukrainian civilians helped to clear the mines from roads.
This example is in fair but heavily worn condition with heavy denting in the body, and the red piece at the top has lost many of its edges. The top can still be unscrewed for inspection. This example retains a canvas handle on the bottom.
A great example, ready for further research and display.
