PMN Anti-Personnel Mine |
|
This section has many detailed color pictures of the PMN anti-personnel land mine, many of which have never been seen before in unclassified Western sources. Almost everything that can be photographed has been, although it will take some time to post here. To view a specific part of the weapon simply click on the desired part below. | |
This is a general picture of the underside of the PMN anti-personnel mine. In this picture you can easily see the red-brown bakelite body, the fuse and arming wells. For a picture of the whole mine see the picture at the top of this page. There are many small markings all over the bottom of the mine. These marks are described here, as they cannot easily be seen in the picture. |

The picture to the right is a closeup of the mine's rubber cover which has 15-32-7 T stamped on it in faded yellow ink. I have no idea what this means, its more than likely a factory code or quality control stamping. We added the red circle to highlight the markings which can be quite difficult to see otherwise. |

The picture to the right is what the inside of the rubber cover looks like. The thin sheet of bakelite plastic is the pressure plate that sets the detonation process in motion. |
