Adrushy mine-II explained
Adrushy (A/T influence) Mk-II is an Indian anti-tank mine that features a shaped charge and a magnetic influence fuze. The mine is capable of discriminating between tanks and tank trawls using a sensor employing mutual induction.[1]
Design
The mine is an "intelligent" mine with an onboard microprocessor that discriminates between friend and foe using both analog and digital signals. The explosive can penetrate more than 85mm of RHA, while conversely the mine itself can survive the blast from a mine-clearing line charge at 2.5 meters.[1]
