PMN mine
Country of origin
Soviet Union
The PMN (Russian: противопехотная мина нажимная, romanized: protivopekhotnaya mina nazhimnaya, lit. 'anti-infrantry pressure-activated mine') series of blast anti-personnel mines were designed and manufactured in the Soviet Union. They are one of the most widely used and commonly found devices during demining operations. They are sometimes nicknamed "black widow" because of their dark casings.
