TC/3.6 and TC/6 mines

TC/3.6 and TC/6 mines

The TC/3.6 and TC/6 are round minimum metal Italian anti-tank blast mines. Both mines contain use the same fuzing system. They have round deep ribbed plastic cases that are either sand colored or olive green. The fuze works on an air pressure system, with the top pressure plate forcing air through a small bleed valve. The air then inflates a diaphragm which indirectly applies force to the striker spring until a steel restraining ball is forced out of the way of the striker. The striker then triggers the mine.

The air pressure fuze is very resistant to shock and overpressure. The mine was produced by Tecnovar Italian SpA, but is now no longer in production. Electronic versions of the mine were produced, the TCE/3.6, TCE/6. The TC/3.6 mine is found in Afghanistan, and the TC/6 is found in Afghanistan, Chad, Ecuador, and Tajikistan. Also SAT electronic fuzes, which can have anti-handling device capability, can be used with these mines.

The mine is produced in Egypt and Portugal as the TC-6.
