MULTIPURPOSE REMOTELY PLACED CLUSTER MINE Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC F42B23/00 

FIELD: ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: multi-purpose remotely placed cluster mine contains a cylindrical body in which a proximity fuse is placed, a warhead with a cylindrical explosive charge, at the end of which there is a metal-lined cavity and a fragmentation shell of a given fragmentation, a stabilizer in the form of a parachute attached to the mine when it placed in a cluster munition, a placement device with spring-loaded legs. The cylindrical body with a conical part at the base of the mine consists of a structurally integrated warhead and a proximity fuse. The proximity fuse consists of two parts, which are attached to opposite ends of the warhead and connected to each other by a wire line placed in a casing on the outer surface of the mine body. The upper part of the proximity fusing device is designed to release the parachute with simultaneous opening of the legs and setting the mine in the working position and is placed outside the warhead and dropped before detonating the warhead to prevent interference from entering the cumulative lining of the warhead. The lower part of the proximity fuse contains the elements and devices that ensure the mine's functionality against enemy armoured vehicles and manpower, and the ability to enter the self-destruction time. In the placement device, second trapezoidal springs are fixed on the spring-loaded legs using a pad, resting with one end on the conical part of the mine body, and with the other end – on the pads on the two adjacent legs. The spring-loaded legs in the transport position are secured and held by burst bolts using two female legs.

EFFECT: improved efficiency of placement and combat use of a multi-purpose mine.
