Design
The rear face of the landmine is convex and the front face is concave, with a single fuze well in the center.
Unlike the MON-100, the fuze well in the MDH-10 runs right through the landmine body and the central booster.
The landmine has a wire-carrying handle and attachment points at the sides. The casing is sheet steel and the fragmentation, housed in the concave face, is a chopped steel rod, behind this is the main charge.
Fuze
The landmine may be fired electrically or using a mechanical fuze (normally a MUV type) attached to a tripwire.
Note
It is often fixed to trees using a spike on a swivel mounting bracket.
