Internal view of a Medium Atomic Demolition Munition (nuclear landmine) produced by the United States from 1965 to 1986. From left to right: packing container, warhead, code-decoder unit, firing unit.

The MADM had a relatively low yield for a nuclear weapon (1-15 kilotons) though in human terms it would still be increadibly powerful. The entire unit weighed less than 400 lbs.
