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%.

History
Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
