Letneye mine

A Letneye mine is a type of Soviet-era anti-tank mine designed for use during warmer seasons, specifically when the ground is thawed. The designation "Letneye" translates roughly to "summer" or "warm-weather" mine, indicating its intended operational environment.

These mines typically feature a pressure-activated fuze system, where sufficient weight or pressure exerted on the top surface triggers the detonation. Construction materials often included metal components, making them detectable by standard mine detection equipment, although variations and modifications may exist.

Due to their intended operational environment, Letneye mines might have features designed to prevent premature detonation caused by freezing temperatures or excessive moisture common during winter months. While specific models and features can vary, the core design principle revolves around reliable function during the warmer parts of the year. Details regarding explosive filler, dimensions, and activation pressure will vary depending on the specific model of the Letneye mine.
