Barmines stolen from train
- Thread starter exat808
- Start date
They have been in British service use since the late 1960's.
As we dont have much use for anti-tank mines in our current operations we have been using it as a demolition charge. Mainly used in the breaching of compound and building walls. The 8.4kg of RDX/TNT is a very potent "hole maker".
