MON-90

The MON-90 (Russian: МОН-90) is a Claymore-shaped, plastic bodied, directional type of anti-personnel mine designed in the Soviet Union.

The mine is similar in appearance to the MON-50, but is approximately twice the size with a much greater depth.

It can also be actuated by a variety of booby trap (BT) switches including: The MON-90 is usually mounted above ground level on the surface or up in a tree to give the greatest dispersion of fragments.

Due to its large size the MON-90 is effective against unarmored vehicles and it may have applications as an anti-helicopter mine.

Depending on its actuation method the MON 90 may be resistant to blast overpressure from explosive breaching systems like the Giant Viper and M58 MICLIC.
