GYATA-64 mine

As a result, the Gyata-64 is the most powerful AP blast mine commonly encountered, for which reason it is particularly deadly.

To put things in perspective, most anti-personnel blast mines (e.g. the VS-50) contain around 50 grams of explosive, which is enough to destroy all or part of a victim's foot.

In marked contrast, the 300 gram charge inside a Gyata-64 mine can easily destroy a victim's entire leg (often requiring amputation high above the knee) in addition to inflicting severe injuries on the adjacent limb, which may also require some form of amputation.

The Gyata-64 mine is cylindrical with a plastic body and a black rubber pressure cap.

Although the body is plastic, the fuze itself contains a steel striker and spring, which make it detectable by conventional mine detectors.
