The Anti-tank mine АTМ-01 is designed to destroy tracked and wheeled armored vehicles. This mine is used to prevent access by enemy armored vehicles into area denial zones.
It is a high-explosive blast mine with plastic casing and low metal content. The mine is manufactured in two variants – ATM-01C and ATM-01CB (see below technical characteristics).
In static tests, the ATM-01C:
- With contact fuse ATMF-01CS proved capable of destroying 3-6 modular chain links and impeller of a T-72 type tank.
- With non-contact fuses ATMF-01 or NV-PTM-RC proved capable of penetrating the hull of a T-72 type tank.
- With non-contact fuse NV-PTM-2F proved capable of destroying tracked and wheeled armored vehicles and severely damage a T-72 type tank.
The mine has a cylindrical, plastic body with a ribbed upper surface with a centrally threaded fuse well, which is sealed with a plug during transport and storage.
The mine can be laid manually or automatically from a minelayer or helicopter mine laying system. It can be fitted with different fuse systems, including contact and non-contact variants, own manufacture, which include ATMF-01СS, ATMF-01, NV-PTM-RC, NV-PTM-2F and the whole family of fuses for the standard TM-62 type mines, like MVCh-62, MVP-62 etc.
The mine, with suitable anchor and fuse, could be placed in water down to 1 m depth.
It has virtually unlimited time of operation and no maintenance is needed during storage.
The system is stored or transported in a case containing four АTМ-01 mines and all necessary accessories.
