The PMD-6, PMD-7 and PMD-57 series mines are Soviet Union blast-type anti-personnel mines that consist of a wooden box with a hinged lid with a slot cut into it. The slot presses down against a retaining pin, which holds back the striker.

2015年5月7日 · One of such samples of cheap but effective weapons, created several years before the beginning of World War II, was the anti-personnel mine PMD-6. At the very end of the thirties, new mines of the PMD-6 type (“Anti-personnel mine, wooden”) began to flow into the engineering units of the Red Army.

The PMD-6 is a rectangular wooden anti-personnel blast mine sometimes called the 'Shoe-box' mine. It has been found in Afghanistan, Angola, Cambodia, Cyprus, Ecuador, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Honduras, Iraq, Kurdistan, Lebanon, Mozambique, Namibia, Nicaragua, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan, Tajikistan, Western Sahara, Yemen and Zimbabwe.

This is the Russian PMD-6 (ПMД-6), a High-Explosive-Blast (HE-Blast), rectangular, wooden, Anti-Personnel (AP), landmine that is designed to wound or kill by its HE-Blast effect also copied in China. The upper portion of the box overlaps the lower portion which contains the fuze and explosive-charge.

The PMD-6, PMD-7 and PMD-57 series mines are Soviet Union blast type anti-personnel mines that consist of a wooden box with a hinged lid with a slot cut into it.

Die PMD-6 ist eine in der ehemaligen Sowjetunion hergestellte Antipersonenmine, die von rund 30 Staaten weltweit eingesetzt wurde. Das Gehäuse der PMD-6 besteht aus ungefärbtem oder grün gestrichenem Holz und hat eine rechteckige Form. Das Oberteil hat zwei Bohrungen zur Aufnahme von Scharnierstiften.

PMD-6: SUMMARY OF FINDINGS The wooden case of every PMD-6 had rotted, with only small remnants found. Since the casing forms part of the initiation system (by pushing the retaining pin out to release the striker), these mines could no longer function as designed.

PMD-6 is a simple Anti-Personnel (AP) blast mine which uses a box design dating back to the Second World War. The mine consists of a wooden box with a hinged lid that overlaps the sides. The main charge is a block of cast TNT into which an MUV series fuze, fitted with a stab-sensitive MD-2 detonator, is placed.

The PMD-6 can be located using metal-detectors under most field conditions. It can be defeated by blast-overpressure from explosive breaching systems. A Chinese produced wooden box landmine designated the Type 59 is similar to the Russian PMD-6 wooden box AP landmine, except the entire fuze is contained within the box.

The PMD-6 (ПМД-6) is a simple, Russian, pre-World War 2 (WW2) era developed, box-like, anti-personnel blast (APB) mine. The PMD-6 mine uses a wooden casing, which holds a block-type high explosive charge that is fitted with an MUV (МУВ) type fuze.
