NR 25 mine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The NR 25 is a circular Dutch steel cased anti-tank blast mine. It is broadly similar in appearance to the German Tellermine 43, although it is larger. The mine has a central domed pressure plate, underneath which is a NR-29 mechanical pressure fuze, which is inserted into a fuze well. A doughnut shaped main charge surrounds a central booster charge. Two secondary fuze wells are provided on the side and base of the mine, for anti-handling devices.
The mine is in service with the Royal Netherlands Army and is found in Lebanon.
