OZM-72 Anti-Personnel (AP) - Landmine - USSR/Russia

OZM-72 - fragmentation barrage mine - anti-personnel jumping mine of circular destruction. The title in army jargon is "Frog" or "Witch".

Can be used with all fuses of the MUV or MVE-72 series, as well as as in a controlled version. When a fuse is introduced (standard fuse - MUV 4), the powder retarder is ignited for the flame, which ignites the powder-expelling charge in the central ignition tube. The latter throws the warhead of the mine out of the "glass" to a height of about 0.6-0.8 m. The mine is triggered after bouncing under the action of an unwinding tension cable, one end of which is fixed to the bottom of the glass, and the second to the internal wedge-shaped lock, which leads to the action of a fuse that detonates a combat charge is one of the design differences from its American counterpart - the M16 APM mine, it uses a pyrotechnic moderator and the OZM-3 version also uses a pyrotechnic moderator. If the mine does not rise to the required height, the explosion will not occur at all, but the use of a tension cable will increase the reliability of the ammunition. The reflection is applied with ready-made striking elements - 2400 rollers or balls.
