The MAT-62B is a Romanian plastic cased circular anti-tank blast mine.
The mine can accept fuzes from the Russian TM-62 and TM-72 series of landmines.
The low metal content of the mine makes it difficult to detect.
It is possible for the bakelite fuze to deteriorate in desert conditions i.e. reducing the activation pressure required to trigger detonation.
In such cases there is a possibility that the mine may detonate simply by handling it.
