DEU - MUSA

MUSA (Multi Splitter Aktiv)


A multi-purpose mine designed for use in a weapons container MW-1. The mine is parachuted to the ground after being fired from the container. The MUSA is designed to eliminate unarmored vehicles, aircraft, and enemy live forces. The mine can reportedly kill as far as 100 meters from the epicenter of the blast.


The container MW-1 can carry up to 668 MUSA mines (according to [2], other sources give the number as 772 [3] or 672 [1]).
