TMA-2 mine

The TMA-2 is a Yugoslavian anti-tank mine. It is a rectangular mine with a metallic body, designed to damage or destroy armored vehicles. It utilizes a pressure plate fuze located on the top surface. The mine is typically painted olive green or dark brown.

The TMA-2 is relatively simple in design and construction, which contributed to its widespread production and use in various conflicts, particularly during the Yugoslav Wars. It is a blast-type mine, meaning it detonates directly under the pressure of a vehicle driving over it. The mine is typically laid on the surface or buried shallowly.

Due to its widespread use and the lack of comprehensive mine clearance efforts in some affected regions, the TMA-2 continues to pose a significant threat to civilians and military personnel. It is considered a persistent landmine hazard and requires careful identification and neutralization by trained professionals. Mine awareness education is also critical in areas where TMA-2 mines may be present.
