Which fuzing is used for landmine apers, fragmentation?

• A. Cmd Det
• B. Impact
• C. Pressure, Pull, Cmd Det
• D. VT/Impact

Answer: (C)

Activation methods for fragmentation landmines rely on triggering devices that respond to human intrusion or remote control. Anti-personnel fragmentation mines like APERS are designed to detonate when someone steps on a pressure plate or trips a pull wire, and some variants also provide a remote command-detonation option for controlled firing by an operator. Therefore, the fuze combination that includes pressure, pull, and command detonation best fits how APERS fragmentation mines are designed to be activated in the field. It covers automatic triggering by pressure or tripwire as well as the possibility of a remote detonation when required. The other options restrict triggering to a single method (impact or proximity/impact) and don’t reflect the common multi-triggering capability of APERS fragmentation mines.
