TR/9 trip mine: Difference between revisions

The TR/9 takes a circular form, with six fins protruding off the side. The centre of the disc has another four fins that, when the mine is activated, rotate upward. The mine's activation also sees it light up and emit a high-pitched beeping noise. The mine can use trip wires or [[laser]] beams to trigger the detonator, when something large enough gets within range.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}
