NON-LETHAL ANTI-PERSONNEL MINE Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC F42B12/36 

FIELD: military equipment and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a non-lethal anti-personnel mine. An anti-personnel mine of non-lethal action comprises a cylindrical body, a device ejecting, expelling charge, a warhead consisting of six pyrotechnic elements of irritating action, a pyrotechnic signal element and pyrotechnic checkers. The cylindrical body is rolled onto the cover, in which the sealing ring is placed. The ejection device is at the same time a device for interfacing with the pinning mechanisms of regular fuses. The body of the warhead has four evenly spaced holes made tangentially to the circle, adapted for rotational movement of the warhead when ejected from the cylindrical body. In the center of the cylindrical body there is a central tube rigidly connected to the cylindrical body adapted for installing and firing a pyrotechnic signal element and using it as a guide for the warhead to come off during firing. The impulse from the expelling charge to the pyrotechnic signal element is transmitted through a tube with gas-water channels installed in the central tube. A latch is installed against each pyrotechnic element of irritating action.

EFFECT: increasing the effectiveness of non-lethal anti-personnel mines by increasing the size of the affected area.
