Analyst Note
The BLU-91/B pictured here is an aerially dispensed anti-vehicle scatterable landmine that uses a magnetic-influence fuze to function a shaped charge relying on the Misnay–Schardin Effect. The munition is fitted with three self-destruct delay settings. The aeroballistic adaptor is commonly broken off upon impact and the remnants of the adhesive holding it in place can be seen (yellow). One side of the munition has a bore-riding pin which is held in place while in the dispenser. Once dispensed, the bore riding pin is released and starts the arming process. The BLU-91/B is 121 mm (4.75 in) in diameter and 56 mm (2.6 in) in height. (ARES)
