Type 72 non-metallic anti-tank mine

Type 72 Non-Metallic is a Chinese circular, plastic bodied landmine which is designed to damage or destroy a vehicle by blast effect.

The mine has a slightly domed pressure plate made from flexible plastic with a raised 6 spoke wagon wheel pattern on top.

The Type 72 is resistant to shock and overpressure from explosive breaching systems such as the Giant Viper and MICLIC.

China also makes a metal-cased version called the Type 72 iron-shelled anti-tank mine (72式铁壳反坦克地雷).

Additionally, a copy is produced in South Africa as "Non-metallic anti-tank mine".
