The MC-71 is a Romanian tilt-rod fuzed anti-tank landmines. The mines body consists of two truncated cones, the lower of the cones contains the main charge and fuzing mechanism. The main charge is a large shaped charge, which triggers 200 ms to 400 ms after the tilt rod is activated. The tilt rod can be deployed away from the mine, potentially making it effective against clearance vehicles using mine rollers and mine flails.

The mine is in service with the Romanian armed services.
