Description
A command detonated Chinese Communist (Chicom) Dh10 directional type mine, similar in principal to the US manufactured M18 Claymore mine. The device has been partly sectioned to show the interior which contains hundreds of small steel cylindrical rods that are impressed into the explosive compound. These devices can be command detonated or set to a trip wire and can be aimed at the target area.
