Six hundred indigenously-manufactured self-neutralising anti-tank mines, known as “Vibhav”, have been inducted into the Army to provide mobility kill against all enemy armoured vehicles.
- The anti-tank mine is made of new-age plastic, which gives it adequate strength and durability to withstand the requirements of storage, handling and operating in varying field conditions.
- It is designed and developed completely indigenously in a joint venture with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in India.
- “Vibhav” is a point-attack anti-tank munition. The mines are designed to provide mobility kill against all enemy armoured vehicles.
- The munition can be laid both mechanically or manually. The munition also incorporates an electronic anti-handling and anti-lift device (EAHALD) that stays active for 120 days once armed.
