Description
The POMZ-2M is a fragmentation stake mine consisting of a serrated cylindrical cast-iron fragmentation sleeve, a 75-gram TNT charge, an MUV-type tripwire fuze, and a wooden stake. This mine is normally employed in covering vegetation with the top of the mine approximately 30 cm above ground with the tripwire attached to a fixed object. More than one mine can be attached to several tripwires, or several tripwires may be attached to one mine. Copies of this mine have been produced by numerous countries including China, former East Germany, and North Korea. The POMZ-2M differs from the POMZ-2, its predecessor, in that it is lighter, has fewer serrations, and the fuze well is threaded to increase water resistively.
The mine has one fuze well and no power source.
The mine is OD green and is 107 mm high.
