PMD-6
Antipersonnel Mine

Description
The PMD-6 is a wooden version of a box or "shu" mine with a two-piece case. The lower section is a rectangular wooden box housing the main TNT charge, the MUV-type fuze, and the detonator. The lid section is hinged to the lower box at one end and is designed to close over the box. In the armed position, the lid rests on a striker retaining pin at the end of the fuze. When pressure is applied, the lid removes the pin, beiginning the initiation process. The PMD mine is normally laid as security against opposing infantry troops along roads, paths, and mixed minefields.
