    Description

    Awesome find. Polish Cold War MN 121 anti tank mine.
    Bid is for one mine, the two are side by side for comparison when the mines cap is opened. If you remove the pin on the bottom the wire legs will deploy and with this model you will not be able to return them to their original position so keep that in mind. I’ve been a collector of mines, grenades and anti personnel ordnance for over a decade, this mine is often sold as “Russian issued” to get attention, when in actuality it is a Polish issue mine, which makes it a bit more rare on the Cold War Eastern Bloc Spectrum. Mine is INERT, CONTAINS NO EXPLOSIVES OR EXPLOSIVE CAP. Here are the actual factory issue specs and explanation of intended use:
    Anti-tank scatterable surface mine type MN-121
    is designed for remote laying of minefields using aircrafts and rocket missiles
    Intended use:
    MN-121 mines are designed for remote laying of minefields using aircrafts and rocket missiles. After the mines leave its carrier canister, they fall on the ground on parachutes. They can be dropped onto any area, except those densely overgrown with trees and bushes. They effectively eliminate combat vehicles and other means of transport from a battle field
    Operation:
    The mine is equipped with a hollow charge and non-contact self-destroying electronic fuse. The mine is triggered when under a moving vehicle, at any point of its contour, or after a pre-set self-destruction time. It has 3 serial-acting safety stages which ensure safety both during transportation and storage, and during land mining.
