Bofors 016

Notes: This is a Swedish off-route mine that was employed in considerable numbers to protect Sweden's borders. It creates an explosively formed projectile, similar to that created by a SADARM mine. Range of the projectile is 100 meters. Hitting a vehicle is an Average: Grenade Launcher or Easy: Combat Engineer task. The projectile is light, but very fast (10,000 meters per combat phase). The weapon may be command detonated or initiated by a tripwire or pressure bag across the path of the target vehicle. Defusing is difficult (one level harder).

Bofors 028

Notes: This Swedish antitank mine is designed to kill, rather than disable, armored vehicles. It is a magnetic mine, detonated by the passing of a metal mass of at least 750 kg. As a magnetic mine, it may (50% chance) be detonated by the passing of a mine detector over it, or even the probing of a knife blade or similar-sized metal mass (10%) in direct contact. The casing is non-metallic, and the mine is two levels harder to detect by a mine detector. This mine is unaffected by overpressure, or countermeasures such as mine rollers, plows, and flails. It can also distinguish between a genuine vehicle and a magnetic signature duplicator. Disarming this mine is an Impossible: Combat Engineer task unless the proper key is employed (common in engineer demolitions chests of the countries using the mine). This mine is used by Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, and Canada.

FFV-013

Notes: This is a Swedish directional antipersonnel mine of the Claymore variety, though much larger. The mine may be command-detonated or by tripwire. This mine is used by Sweden, and also produced by Japan and used by Denmark, Norway, and Switzerland. The mine may be easily disarmed once the tripwire is released or the electrical leads are removed. It is unaffected by overpressure. The notched steel front plate disintegrates into about 1200 hexagonal fragments upon detonation.

Minimore

Notes: This is a smaller version of the Claymore directional antipersonnel mine. A little over one-third the size of a Claymore, it has half the efficiency of a normal-sized Claymore. The Minimore is in use by most NATO armies.
