G'day gents,
I am looking at putting together a differential identification guide for the TS-50 and VS-50 AP mines, and the various derivatives thereof.
The differences between the TS-50 and VS-50 mines are fairly apparent to me, however I was wondering if the VS-50 has ever been produced with a pressure plate safety cover the same as the TS-50, rather than (or in addition to) the external safety pin?
As for the derivatives, information I have found is scarce. There is info on the Iranian YM-1(B) variant here: http://www.mineactionstandards.org/...-notes/TN_09-30_05_2001_YM-1B_Version_1-0.pdf and (very) limited information on the Egyptian T/79 variant here: http://www.cameo.org/tech/t79.html
Does anyone have further information?
Cheers,
RA
