GYATA 64
Anti-personnel blast mine
 

 

 

The GYATA-64 is a Hungarian manufactured AP blast mine closely resembling the PMN. The main body is bakelite and the top is black rubber. The mine is known to have been found in Mozambique, Angola and Lebanon.

Height 61mm
Diameter: 106mm
Explosive charge: 300g TNT

The GYATA-64 is the largest AP blast mine commonly found. When the metal parts have rusted, it can be difficult to detect. The absence of a metal strap retaining the rubber top makes it more difficult to detect than the PMN, even when new.

The main charge is in two pre-cast blocks that are inserted on both sides of the firing pin and initiation system.
