High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles!The VS-MK-2 is a plastic bodied scatterable anti-personnel blast mine formerly manufactured by the now-defunct Valsella Meccanotecnica SpA, an Italian high-tech defense industry specialized in area denial systems (landmines). The mine is extremely difficult to detect because of its low metal content. Additionally, it is resistant to blast overpressure due to a pneumatic system incorporated into the fuse. The mine will also function in up to 1 meter of water. An electrically fused anti-handling version of the mine was also produced designated VS-MK-2-EL, VS-MK-2-E or VS-MK2 AR-AN to hinder clearance attempts. Although Italy has ceased production of the mine it may still be found in Angola, Sudan and the Western Sahara.
