The TMRP-6 (Serbo-Croatian, Croatian, Bosnian : Protivtenkovska Mina Razorno Probojna -6, Cyrillic script : Противтенковска Мина Разорно Пробојна -6 ) is a former Yugoslavian anti tank EFP mine.
Developed with Swedish assistance (today Dynamit Nobel AG). The EFP disc was originally manufactured in Sweden then license produced in Yugoslavia. It may bear resemblance to the AT2 mine.
The mine is intended for incapacitating and demolition of enemy armoured and other combat and transport vehicles. It has a destructive and penetrating effect. The activation force by a bar is 13–17 N (1.3–1.7 kgf; 2–4 lbf) and by pressure 1500–3500 N (150–350 kgf; 330–780 lbf). Temperature range: −25 °C to +50 °C (–10 °F to +90 °F). Armed with the pressure lever type mechanical fuze which makes a unit with the mine. The firing pin of the fuze is locked and the explosive chain interrupted, securing safety in storage, transportation and laying. The safety is for 1 or 4 minutes. The mine is laid either manually, by means of minelayer or from helicopter. Arming is automatically done in the ditch. Laid in dry or swampy ground. Airtight. Resistant to the action of increased air pressure.
Size: Ø = 290×132 mm (11½×5¼ in). Capable for any type of transportation. Mass of the mine is 7.2 kg. Explosive charge of cast TNT, mass 5.1 kg with tetryl detonator. The mine penetrates an armour to 40 mm at a distance to 80 cm and may act sidewise from a distance of 45 m.
The mine may be laid manually, mechanically and from helicopters. In manual laying. a clod is cut, larger by one half than the mine diameter and a well is dug so that the clod of 2–3 cm is protruding by 2 cm above the ground. The mine is laid in the well, the safety element is taken off, safety is set at 1 or 4 minutes the starter is pressed (the fuze bar is fitted) and the mine camouflaged. The mine is safe for 6 months even under very unfavourable conditions.
