transport=The Helkir mine is a metal- made, anti-helicopter mine designed to engage Nap-of-the-Earth targets, this mine's function is by electronic sensors to detect airborne targets, the way it works is with a system of two different sensors: an IR sensor and an acoustic sensor. Once the mine is armed and ready to engage, the acoustic sensor listens for a valid noise input and then turns on the IR sensor which is located coaxially to the warhead. When the IR sensor detects a hot signature, the mine blasts off fragments that can penetrate up to 6 mm of armored steel at 50 meters and 2 mm of mild steel at 150 meters.
