Description
The former Soviet PMN-2 is a pressure activated antipersonnel blast mine and the successor to the PMN mine. The main improvement over the PMN is the incorporation of a blast resistant pressure fuze in the PMN-2. Additionally, the mine appears to be capable of mechanical emplacement. Due to several factors, including the small surface of the rubber cover X-shaped pressure plate and an integral baffle configuration, the mine is not susceptible to traditional explosive mine countermeasures.
The mine is green or black.
