Abstract: A projectile for scattering munitions, wherein the projectile comprises:a plurality of individual munitions (4) disposed axially in a separable manner in a single stack, said munitions being generally flat in shape and having shaped upper and lower surfaces which are complementary to enable the stacked munitions to interfit; maintaining means (5) for fixing together the munitions in the stack to constitute a stack which is undeformable against axial and transverse forces, thus providing a self-supporting structure for constituting the body of the projectile; and release means for simultaneously unfixing all the munitions from one another and enabling them to be scattered.

Abstract: The munition comprises a munition body (100) which may enclose an anti-tank mine; a cover (200) for the munition body and constituting a support for a plurality of ejectable charges (300-305), e.g. anti-personnel mines. The munition is placed or scattered on the ground while it is in the closed position. Thereafter it opens, the anti-tank mine is activated, and the anti-personnel mines are ejected in a cluster around the anti-tank mine, whereby a plurality of identical munitions may be laid to set up a combined anti-tank and anti-personnel barrage.

Abstract: A scatterable type of mine in accordance with the invention, comprises: a mine body (100) including an explosive charge enclosed in a generally flat casing including a bearing face (120) and an exposed face (110), the bearing face being in contact with the ground and the exposed face being turned upwardly when the mine is resting on the ground in the active position; a cover (200) having a contour similar to that of the mine body and placed on top of the mine body when in the closed position, the exposed face of the mine being under the cover and the cover being hinged to the mine body at a peripheral point thereof; locking means for keeping the cover closed; and opening means for unlocking the cover and exerting a pivoting torque thereon to move it from the closed position to a open position in which, after a relative rotation of about half a turn, the cover rests to one side of the mine body, the top face of the cover then being turned downwards and bearing on the ground; the pivoting torque being at equal
