KhF-2

     Notes: This Russian mine releases a cloud of gas throughout the burst radius.  It can be detonated by tripwire or a remote position outside the burst radius: 

MON-50

     Notes: This Russian directional antipersonnel mine is a close copy of the US M-18A1 Claymore.  It is normally employed spiked to a tree, but may be set on the ground.  It may be electrically detonated, or by a tripwire (10 kg to detonate).  The mine may be disarmed normally (similar to the MON-100 below).  It is unaffected by overpressure.  This mine was copied by Chile, China, North Korea, and Vietnam; it is also used by Afghanistan, Cambodia, Nicaragua, and several African nations. 

MON-100

     Notes: This is a large Russian directional antipersonnel mine, identical in concept (if not design) to the US Claymore.  It is normally mounted on trees, though its spike may be stabbed into the ground.  The mine may be command detonated (electrically) or by a tripwire; if a tripwire is used, 10kg or pressure is required for detonation.  The mine may be disarmed by cutting the electric circuit or carefully releasing the tripwire, then unscrewing the fuze.  It is unaffected by overpressure.  This mine was copied by the Vietnamese and used during its war with the US; it is also used by Afghanistan, Cambodia, and several African nations. 

MPM

     Notes: This Russian weapon is a limpet mine; it has a magnetic base to allow it to be attached to metal targets such as tanks (and then the user runs away fast).  The mine cannot be neutralized once armed, but the fuze may be removed to disarm it.  It is unaffected by overpressure, or even by stepping on it or running over it. 

MS-3

     Notes: This is a Russian antipersonnel mine similar to the PMN, but somewhat larger.  It is normally used in booby traps, and requires 6kg of pressure to detonate.  It is often placed on top of or underneath antitank mines to increase their sensitivity or create a trap for those removing the antitank mine.  This mine is also manufactured in Romania, and used in Afghanistan. 

OZM-3

     Notes: This is a more normal Russian bounding antipersonnel mine, similar to the US M-16A1.  It may be electrically or tripwire detonated.  The OZM-3 may be disarmed with normal chances, but is unaffected by overpressure.  It is used by Russia, Afghanistan, Cambodia, and several African nations, and copied by China and North Korea.  The main charge detonates at 1.5 meters, and twice the normal numbers of fragments are directed into the chests and abdomens of the victims.  

     The OZM-4 is a more modern Russian bounding antipersonnel mine than the OZM-3.  It has a cast-iron body, and may be detonated by an electrical line or by a tripwire.  The main charge explodes at 0.8 meters, and twice the normal numbers of fragments are directed into the victims' legs and abdomens.  This weapon is used by Bloc forces and by Afghanistan, Cambodia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, and several African nations. 

     The OZM-72 modern Russian bounding antipersonnel mine is similar in size to the US M-16A1, including the size of the main charge (deficient in earlier Russian bounding antipersonnel mines).  It explodes at a height of 1 meter, directing twice the normal numbers of fragments into the legs and abdomens of the victims.  It may be command detonated or tripwire detonated, or by 10kg of direct pressure.  It may be defused normally, but is unaffected by overpressure. 

OZM-160

     Notes: This is a very large Russian bounding antipersonnel mine.  It is command-detonated or by tripwire, and is very difficult to disarm (two levels harder).  It fires a modified artillery shell that explodes at a height of 1.5 meters, and twice the normal numbers of fragments are directed into the chests, abdomens, and heads of the victims.  The OZM-150 is very unlikely to be affected by overpressure (1% chance per concussion dice applied to it). 

PFM-1

     Notes: This is a Russian toepopper mine, commonly known as a "butterfly" or “green parrot” mine due to its shape.  It is designed to be scattered from helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, and FASCAM rounds.  Normally finding them is easy by visual inspection, as they are found on the surface of the ground, but in undergrowth, finding them can be difficult.  This mine can be found littering the countryside of Afghanistan, as they were used by the millions in that country's war with Russia, and they generally have a long lifespan (they do have a self-destruct mechanism, but it is prone to malfunction).  They tend to be carried downstream by water or by a hard rainstorm due to their light weight and the fact that they float. The PFM-1 cannot be disarmed or neutralized except by a blast; they are 30% likely per concussion dice applied to detonate. 

PMN

     Notes: This is a medium-sized mine.  It is a small, plastic-cased, easily concealed mine, usually contact-detonated but capable of using a tripwire.  It is in common use by Russian forces, Afghanistan, Iraq, and in Southeast Asia and Africa.  It cannot be neutralized before disarming, making defusing tricky (one level harder).   8 kg or pressure is required to detonate it.  It has virtually no blast resistance, being 40% likely per concussion dice applied to detonate.  

     The PMN-2 mine is an improved version of the PMN, and is used by Bloc forces, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Lebanon, Mozambique, and Nicaragua.  The main improvement is blast resistance; it is only 15% likely per concussion dice to detonate, though a long pulse blast, such as that of fuel-air explosive, will have a 50% chance per concussion dice to detonate it prematurely.  Disarming it requires a specially shaped tool (common in Russian-designed engineer demolitions kits, but very rare otherwise), but other than that, disarming the PMN-2 is basically simple.

PMD-1

     Notes: This is the antipersonnel counterpart of the wooden YaM-5 antitank mine, in that it is also a simple wooden "shoebox" type mine.  Similar mines are often assembled in the field by combat engineers and factories such as the Wojo factory in Krakow.  The design has been copied by many countries worldwide, and can be found almost anywhere.  The mine varies considerably in activation pressure, but 1-10 kg is normal.  The PMD-1 may be easily disarmed, but is often booby-trapped. 

POM-2S

     Notes: This is a Russian scatterable antipersonnel mine, dropped by aircraft and FASCAM rocket rounds.  It cannot be neutralized or disarmed once armed, except by the very lucky or skilled (Impossible: Combat Engineer roll).  It normally sits on top of the ground; when it hits the ground, six legs open and place the mine upright, and two 9.5-meter tripwires shoot out from the mine in opposite directions and anchor themselves in the ground.  The mine is designed to self-destruct after 23 hours, but this mechanism often fails.  The mine is unlikely to be affected by overpressure (5% chance of a sympathetic detonation per concussion dice applied). 

POM-3

     Notes: This scatterable bounding APERS mine takes the form of an upright cylinder on six spring-out legs.  When scattered, the mine deploys a small parachute so that it lands the proper way up; the legs spring out upon landing so that they embed themselves in soft ground and stay upright on hard ground. A spike then forces itself into the ground below the cylinder.  This spike is a seismic sensor; the mine is triggered when a creature or human of at least 25 kilograms treads within 16 meters of the mine. The POM-3 then operates like other bounding APERS mines, with a large grenade firing upwards from the cylindrical mine body and detonating at roughly chest/abdomen height, directing twice the normal number of fragments to those areas on an adult human. The POM-3 is designed to self-destruct after a time; this may be set before scattering or during manual setting for 8 hours or 24 hours.

POMZ-2 

     Notes: This is a stake mine that can be emplaced quickly but still protrudes from the ground (it is not buried like most mines, although the mine can still be camouflaged).  It is detonated by tripwire.  The Russians and her allies commonly use the POMZ-2, and it has been copied by China, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, North Korean, and Vietnam.  The mine is unaffected by overpressure.  The normal fuse can be neutralized by inserting a piece of stiff wire through it, but two other fuses often used cannot be neutralized and make defusing one level more difficult.  The tripwire requires only 1 kg of pressure to trigger. 

PTM-1S

     Notes: This scatterable antitank mine is used alongside the PFM-1 in Russian service, often dropped in the same batch by helicopters, fixed wing aircraft, and rocket artillery.  It cannot be disarmed or neutralized once armed.  It usually has a self-destruct mechanism with a delay of up to 20 hours, but this mechanism is prone to malfunction.  Like the PFM-1, these mine are all over the countryside of Afghanistan. 

SPM

     Notes: This is a Russian limpet mine, which can be set for a time delay of 5 minutes to 823 hours.  It is normally used for demolition and sabotage.  The mine may be disarmed by unscrewing the fuze, but it is still active during this time and may go off.  This mine can be used as a detonator for larger explosives.  One side of the SPM is a magnet for attachment to steel targets. 

TM-46

     Notes: The TM-46 is another steel-cased antitank mine needing at least 120kg of pressure for detonation, or 21 kg if using a tilt-rod.  The normal fuze may be easily disarmed, but two other fuses cannot be neutralized once armed, and disarming is two levels more difficult.  The TM-46 is very susceptible to overpressure, 30% likely to detonate per concussion dice applied to it.  This mine can be booby-trapped with an auxiliary fuse well.  The TM-46 is Russian-made, and is copied by China, Egypt, Israel, and North Korea.  It is also used by Afghanistan, Cambodia, Iraq, Kuwait (left over by Iraqi forces after the 1991 war), and several African nations. 

TM-57 

     Notes: The TM-57 is a large, steel-cased antitank mine needing at least 120kg of pressure for detonation.  It is a larger version of the TM-46 mine described above.  The fuses used in this mine cannot be neutralized once armed, and disarming the mine is two levels more difficult.  The mine may be booby-trapped.  The TM-57 is very susceptible to overpressure, being 30% chance of being detonated per concussion dice applied to it.  This mine is used in the same places as the TM-46. 

TM-62M

     Notes: This Russian antitank mine is one of the highest-yield mines around, containing 7.2 kg of explosive.  The normal fuse requires 200 kg to detonate the mine, but there is also a magnetic fuse that will go off 50% of the time when mine detectors are passed over it, or 10% of the time if a knife blade is used to probe for it.  If one has a special key, the mine may be neutralized by even untrained personnel; otherwise, it may be disarmed at one level more difficult than normal.  It is susceptible to overpressure if the normal fuse is used; if so, the mine is 25% likely to explode per concussion dice applied to it.  This mine has been used throughout the world by Russian and former Russian allies. 

TM-72

     Notes: This is a newer Russian antitank mine.  It is easily detected, but as it has a magnetic fuse, a mine detector is 50% likely to set it off when passed over it, and even a knife blade is 10% likely to set it off if used to probe for it.  Neutralizing the mine is an Impossible: Combat Engineer task, and only then can it be disarmed (at normal chances).  It is not affected by overpressure.  It was used by the Russians in Afghanistan, on the Chinese front, and in Europe.   Passing of metal over the mine is required for detonation. 

TM-89

     Notes: This is one of the newest Russian antitank mines, introduced in 1993.  It has a magnetic fuse that detonates the mine when any vehicle 400 kg or greater passes over it.  The mine is 50% likely to go off when a mine detector passes over it, and 10% likely when in direct contact with a mass of metal the size of a knife blade or greater.  The TM-89 was exported to several Middle Eastern countries, and was encountered in Iraq and Iran during the war, as well as on the Chinese front.  Neutralizing and disarming the TM-89 are both Impossible: Combat Engineer tasks.  

TMK-2

     Notes: The TMK-2 is a Russian antitank mine based on a shaped charge.  It is triggered by a tilt rod with 8 kg of pressure.  The mine may be easily neutralized, and disarmed at normal chances.  It is unaffected by overpressure.  This mine is used by Bloc forces and by Angola, Mozambique, and Namibia. 

YaM-5

     Notes: This is a simple box packed with explosives and fitted with a pressure detonator (150kg to detonate).  It is detonated by contact or from a remote position 50 meters away.  This mine is no longer used in great numbers by the Pact, but can still be found in the Mideast and Third World.  Millions were used by the Soviets in World War II, and they are not much more sophisticated than the Improvised Antitank Mine.
