Armed with a 150 kg explosive payload, the newly introduced Maham 7 is a high-tech seabed and limpet naval mine built to disrupt hostile vessels. Constructed from glass-fibre-reinforced plastic to scatter and deflect sonar waves, this advanced weapon utilizes a Smart Sensor System, combining acoustic, infrasonic, and three-axis magnetic sensors, to target ships and submarines with a programmable activation delay of up to 127 days.
