Anti-personnel (AP) mines
AP devices are small and low-profile, designed to be difficult to notice during normal movement. They are commonly placed at foot level and may appear as compact charges, plates, or concealed objects positioned along likely dismounted routes to deny dismounted movement or shape movement into a kill zone.
AP devices are typically victim-activated. Common trigger mechanisms include pressure activation or proximity-based activation (including trip wires) intended to detonate when infantry moves into the device’s effective area. AP devices are often used in clusters or integrated into broader defensive setups.
