TMRP-6

Part Shifted TMRP -6 without buckling bar

The TMRP -6 ( Tenkovska Mina Razorno Probojna -6 ) is an anti-tank mine produced in the former Yugoslavia with mechanical fuze and projectile- forming hollow charge. It is considered the most advanced in the anti-tank mines used during the Yugoslav wars.

Description

The lead body and the lid of the pressure TMRP -6 made ​​of plastic, the upper side of the mine is ribbed (housing amplification). The mine detonator is inserted into the pressure cap on the pressure cap is basically a buckling bar of metal attached. The mine has centered on the bottom of a Nebenzündkanal to receive a recovery backup, side there is a carrying handle made ​​of plastic. It is basically colored green and shipped in wooden boxes of four.

Use and function with Buckling

When laying the mine of the buckling pin is put on and select the desired Entsicherungszeit. After pressing the Entsicherungsbolzens runs audible to the mechanical movement and the Entsicherungszeit runs with it. This unlocks the spring sleeve and the igniter base is canceled. If now the buckling bar from 1.3 to 1.7 kg loaded laterally, its inclusion shifts the spring sleeve against the force of its spring down. The check ball is pushed outward and are the biased firing pin free. This strikes a percussion cap, the flame ignites the clearing charge and the delay set. The clearing charge separates the pressure cap, detonator shell from the igniter lower part of the mine body. After one to four second delay, the detonator and the booster charge, the effective charge of the mine is fired.

The mine will always be installed with buckling bar at the bottom. Captures the vehicle hull of a centrally about driving vehicle the buckling beam, the projectile-forming hollow charge is caused by the time delay of one to four seconds directly under the sink and can thus achieve their full effect. The mine was also attached with bending bar also on trees, walls or tunnel ceiling to combat passing objects also the side or from above. Your energy is sufficient here to destroy a main battle tank. Since the rod is already at a low pressure of only three kilograms ( or movements about three millimeters ) reacts, the mine can be triggered easily by a human.

Use and function with print release

When laying the mine the desired Entsicherungszeit is selected and the backup tape removed. After pressing the Entsicherungsbolzens runs audible to the mechanical movement and the Entsicherungszeit runs with it. This unlocks the spring sleeve and the igniter base is canceled. Is loaded with the cartridge cover 150 to 300 kg, it is pressed into the mine. Thus, the striker guide moves with firing pin and locking ball upwards until it can enter the recess of the spring sleeve. The firing pin is released and strikes the primer. The resulting flare initiated the clearing charge and the delay composition, which in turn the effective charge with hollow charge.

The release of pressure without buckling pin is the less common variant, since this implies a direct collision with the mine. Thus, the hollow charge only affects the chains or wheels of a vehicle and therefore can not fully develop their destructive effect.

Detonators and Räumsicherungen

The mine has the fix built-in standard detonator UTMRP -6 ( print / boot ), but can be remotely triggered by an electric detonator.

In order to prevent the mine is simply canceled and cleared aside, it can be additionally secured by the pressure relief fuse UMOP -1 or the Zugzünder UMP -1 ( recovery backup). In addition, these mines were often surrounded by anti-personnel mines.

Areas of application

Introduced and used was the mine of the states of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo and Macedonia.
