Effective damage

Describe the type of damage produced by this type of mine (high explosive, splash damage, etc)

Comparison with analogues

Compared to the near-peers, the EMF has an outstanding explosive filler of 350 kg of SW39a, what translates to 448 kg TNT. The price for such a large explosive filler is a heavy mass of the mine (1,100 kg each), but comparatively speaking it still has an excellent percentage of the mass filled with explosives. For example, only 19% of the French B4M mine is the explosive filler, while for the EMF it's an excellent 32%.
