Title:
Korean War, Anti-Tank Mine Crew, 1951
Caption:
Caption: "An anti-tank mine crew starts checking for other possible mines after an M-4 tank of the 32nd Regimental Combat Team, U.S. 7th Infantry Division (in background) was disabled when it hit an anti-tank mine on this road in Korea. February 28, 1951." An anti-tank mine, (AT mine), is a type of land mine designed to damage or destroy vehicles including tanks and armored fighting vehicles. Compared to anti-personnel mines, anti-tank mines typically have a much larger explosive charge, and a fuze designed only to be triggered by vehicles or, in some cases, tampering with the mine. Anti-tank mines are still deployed along the demilitarized zones established and maintained between North Korea and South Korea since the signing of the armistice that ended the Korean War.
