The HB 876 mine was an air dropped area denial weapon. It was used as part of the JP233 runway denial system and the ‘Hades’ variant of the BL755 cluster bomb. As a result of the anti-personnel mine ban it was withdrawn from British Army service and the last stockpiles of the mine were destroyed on 19 October 1999.
