[origin: US4860658A] A remote action mine, particularly a projectile-launching anti-tank remote action mine which includes a sensor logic for the obtention of a firing signal. The mine is equipped with a range finder and with a memory storage for the initial and final values of at least one range of action which is dependent upon the distance of the axis of action of the mine, with the suppression of the delivery of firing signals for target distances which are located outside of the stored range of action.
