Bottom non-contact mines had a small depth of the production site, which limited their use by coastal and shallow areas. Mines of this type are designed to destroy submarines and surface ships ( vessels ) of any displacement . [one]

Design History
The development of the magnetic-acoustic bottom mine MDT was carried out by TsKB-145 MSP. In 1953, this mine was adopted by the USSR Navy for the deployment of 533-mm submarine torpedo tubes .
Design
The MDT bottom mine had a cylindrical shape and was equipped with a combined non-contact acoustic induction fuse that responded both to the acoustic field of the ship and to a change in the magnetic field around the mine itself caused by the movement of the ship within the range of the mine’s induction receiver.
