Abstract Mine The present invention relates to a mine (1) with at least one ejectable submunitions container (3) that is arranged within a cup-shaped launcher (2), and with a propulsion system (8) that delivers the submunitions container (3) to a specific altitude range. In order to ensure that the propulsion system (8) occupies only a small structural volume, entails only low costs by the use of small quantities of propellant charge, and also operates reliably and safely, it is proposed that the propulsion system (8) be arranged not in or on the submunitions container (3), but rather in the base part of the cup-shaped launcher (3). When this is done, it is advantageous that the propulsion system (8) consist of a high-pressure chamber (9) that is proximate to the base (7) of the launcher, with the propulsion charge (15) therein, and a low-pressure, chamber (10) that is proximate to the submunitions container. The low-pressure chamber (10) and the high-pressure chamber (9) are separated from each other by a common perforated plate (12) that incorporates nozzles (holes) (11).
