MVM-583 fuze The MVM-583 is a mechanical pressure fuze. The activation pressure of this fuze is 140
kf. It comprises a striking mechanism, safety pin and the MD-6N
shock tube detonator. Upon a vehicle driving over a TM-46 mine equipped with this fuze, the lid of the mine
deforms along with the fuze. Upon further deformation, the tip of the fuze casing cuts through the diaphragm in the mine, releasing the striking mechanism, which activates the MD-6N detonator, and causes the explosion of the main charge of the mine.
MVSh-46 fuze The MVSh-46 is a mechanical
tilt-rod fuze without a safety mechanism. The activation pressure of this fuze is 120–450
kf. The required deviation of the tilt-rod from its initial composition is 25–30°. It comprises a striking mechanism and the MD-10
shock tube detonator. Upon a vehicle driving over a TM-46 mine equipped with this fuze, the MVSh-46 deforms, activating the MD-10 detonator and causing the explosion of the main charge of the mine.
TMN-46 variant The
TMN-46 is a variant of the mine fitted with a secondary pull-action fuze
MUV-2 (
Rus. МУВ-2) well on the bottom (where it cannot be seen), which is slightly off-set from the centre of the mine. It is connected with a thin strip of wire to a peg inserted into the ground. The MUV-2 fuze is hooked to an
MD-6N (
Rus. МД-6Н)
shock tube detonator, which functions as an
anti-handling device. Upon trying to move the mine, the wire pulls the fuze, and the mine detonates. Upon an attempt at dislocation of the TMN-46 mine, the wire attached between the MUV-2 fuze and the peg pulls the safety pin. The fuze actives MD-6N detonator and causes it to explode along with the main charge of the mine. == Specifications ==
