Jane's Mines and Mine Clearance First Edition 1996-1997 (11) (UR/2B) *

Jane's Mines and Mine Clearance First Edition 1996-1997, hard copy, in fair condition, as you can see it is a bit tatty down the spine of the book, but the good copies goes for £500+ hence the price here. Helps find, identify and clear landmines. This yearbook offers technical information on mines and booby traps, and on the latest demining techniques and equipment. It covers more than 200 anti-personnel and anti-tank mines in detail, each entry highlighting vital information under headings: description, operation, neutralization, disarming, specifications, compatibility, origin, countries of use, method of employment, and photographs and cutaway diagrams. There is a separate section on demining equipment, describing the generic types available, along with their advantages and disadvantages. It also gives a view of demining procedures for dealing with different types of minefield, plus an analysis of how demining units are organized with a quick-reference table showing the detectability of each mine.
