PMRS landmine

[jvollenberg]

Does anyone know anything or have pictures of a Yugoslvian Mine called the PMRS? I have never heard of it, and I am trying to get as much infomration as possible on the mine. I know its a stake mine, but thats it.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Joe,
when I use google to find PMRS mines, I come on a Indonesian report of destruction summary of several models of mines.
I see there that they have destroy different models of Ex-Yug APers mines (PMA, PMR,...).
Knowing that it's coming from Indonesia, should it not be possible that the S of PMRS is the plural mark of PMR and is write 956 (Example) PMRs ?

Yes it is possible ...

BUT check this out ... http://maic.jmu.edu/ordata/srdetaildesc.asp?ordid=1955

This is the PMRS in ORDATA (hopefully it will open for you).

It looks like a PMR-2AS but with a different fuze. I myself doubt the existance of this mine, but thought I would see what others mihgt know.

In ORDATA, it's attributed on Bosnia-Herzegovina. It's possible that the PMRS denomination is the ByH denomination of the PMR-2AS (Ex-Yug mine).
Denomination should ca be changing with another manufacturor, in "another" country.

AL'SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD ! If you hear us !

Joe,
PMRS it`s old version of PMR-2AS

And from the manual.

Hello Guys,

Ivaskhin´s answer is correct, see the copy of Yugo Manual and Fotos below:

PMRS is an older Version of the PMR-2AS. Both mine-bodies are same but do have different fuzes.
The fuze on the PMRS has a much bigger Diameter and so also much bigger threads (Fotos),



so that the (mostly plastic) Adapter on top of the fragmentation-Body of the mine is used only
to fit the PMR-2A and PMR-2AS-Fuze (or other M10 x1 mm Thread-Fuzes). On PMRS the fuze
is directly screwed into the fragmentation steel-body.

The Fuze of the PMRS has also double-functionality means that when the trip-wire is pulled,
the fuze fires one striker into a flare on top of the fuze and a second striker into the fuzepart
for the mine - both functionalities will trip at the same time.

PMRS-Mine was also available as factory-Cutaway in the Yugo-Army, but rare to find.

Best regards,

Zorro
