Two German mines with one index DM 31.
The first picture shows a vehicle against a DM 31 vehicle. The second picture shows anti-personnel. The cases are different, but the short measure is the same.
Let's imagine that only the signature "DM 31" was sent to the chat. One person opened the ticket for an anti-vehicle mine, the other for an anti-vehicle mine. Both found an exact match by index.
The German government's official response of May 22, 1995 lists the two mines:
Panzerabwehrverlegemine DM 31 - anti-vehicle.
Schützenabwehrmine DM 31 - anti-personnel.
If you shorten the full name to "DM 31", the part that indicates the product's status will be lost. Because of this, even a correctly rewritten markup can result in a different minecard.
The International Geneva Center for Humanitarian Demining's guide to Ukraine describes the DM 31 anti-vehicle vehicle, a German version of the Swedish FFV 028. This is the model that Mine Monitor includes in the list of mines identified during the conflict. The two images in this post are for reference.
If the designation is known only from the signature, say: "The signature indicates DM 31, the type requires clarification." If you find a real find, report its location to the experts from a safe place. Do not approach to finish reading the markings or take a new photo.
If the metrics match, check the full name of the product.
