This image shows a German DM 1399 (AT2) dispensed anti-tank (anti-vehicle) landmine. This munition uses a shaped charge that relies on the Misnay–Schardin effect to penetrate the underside of armoured fighting vehicles. The DM 1399 reportedly has magnetic and pressure fuzing, along with an anti-disturbance feature and a self-destruct time delay of up to four days, settable in six different increments. The mines can be dispensed from rockets (MLRS), vehicles (Skorpion 2), and UAVs (Eggbox with 4 mines). Currently the mines are known to be in service with Finland, Germany, Norway, the United Kingdom, and Ukraine (having been donated by Germany). Denmark, Latvia, and Sweden are in the process of having AT2+ mines and Skorpion 2 systems delivered. (ARES)
