Abstract: An anti-tank mine with a wide area of action comprising means for detecting a target of the tracked-vehicle type and a mine body incorporating a pyrotechnic charge, means for controlling the triggering of the mine in response to a signal given by the target detection means, means for firing the charge and means for propelling the mine body triggered by the control means. The target detection means are associated with reinforcement means to constitute at least one flexible guide-detection cable serving as a guide when the mine body moves under the action of the propelling means in response to the detection of a target. Preferably a plurality of guide-detection cables spreadable in several different directions around the mine body are used.
