The Type 84 is a Chinese air-dispersed scatterable anti-tank mine, normally deployed by the GBL212 122 mm artillery rocket, or the Type 122-15 ATML rocket for export versions.[1] Each rocket can carry six[1] or eight[2][3] mines and has a range of around six[3] or seven[2] kilometres. The rockets are launched from a BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launcher system that can hold up to 24 of the rockets.[3] A time fuse on the rocket is set before launch, which activates at a predetermined distance after firing. Upon activation, the rocket head bursts, ejecting the mines, which descend with small green parachutes[3] that slow their fall. The mine consists of a cylindrical body with three prong legs that form a spike, which pierces the ground and arms.[1] If the mine strikes soft ground, the spike is driven into the ground and the mine is held upright.[citation needed]
Three variants of the mine exist:[2] one with a magnetic fuse which detonates upon magnetic influence,[1][2][4] one with a self-extending tilt rod fuse,[citation needed] and another with a contact baffle.[citation needed] In addition, the magnetic fuse mine has an anti-handling device.[2][4]
The mine's penetrator warhead uses the Misznay-Schardin effect[citation needed] to penetrate up to 110 millimetres of rolled homogeneous armour.[1] The mines also have a self-destruct facility which can be set to between 4 and 72 hours, and will disarm itself after 72 hours.[1][4]
