anti-ship mine

[al'saad]

This anti-ship mine is found on wreckage of river monitor Bosna (ex. Koros) which is at the bottom of river Sava. Ship hit the mine in 1944. Anyone can help ID the mine?

For me it looks more like a depth charge?

might be, but it is found in river deep some 5-10 meters depending on period of the year, and no subs in.

I agree with you! It looks like depth charge. Depth charge could be part of floating mine or something simillar. In USSR during WWII produced floating mine from depth charge, but I don`t think it is.

might this be a russian B-1 depth charge?
