POM-2 mine

The POM-2 (Russian: Противопехотная Осколочная Мина-2, romanized: Protivopekhotnaya Oskolochnaya Mina, lit. 'Infantry Fragmentation Mine-2') is a Soviet scatterable self-liquidating fragmentation anti-personnel mine. It has a mechanical fuze with tension-type target sensors BP-09S (Russian: БП-09С). The mine can be delivered using the BM-27 Uragan (9M59), BM-21 Grad (9M18) MLRS, helicopter-mounted minelaying system VSM-1, remote mining machine UMZ (Russian: УМЗ) or portable mining kit PKM (Russian: Переносной Комплект Минирования, romanized: Perenosnoy Komplekt Minirovaniya, lit. 'Portable Mining Kit'). In its armed position, it is presented as a steel cylinder with six spring-loaded fins at the bottom of the mine. It shoots out string that attach to nearby objects, which is used as a tripwire. The POM-2 mines must be delivered using remote mining systems, with the exception of POM-2R.
