RUSSIAN MIB grenade mine ???
- Thread starter weberoed
- Start date
Unsure if it is real or not, but if it was, I'd say a copy in concept from the M86 PDM. Take an off the shelf area denial submunition and adapt it for ground troop use. That being said, I've seen no documents and it would be an easy piece to fake.
It is real but not off the shelf. It only has some commons with the POM-2S but is a different design. To be sued as a grenade or as a mine, depending on what is needed (the mine config has a different actuator on top). The mine configuration has a SD feature (3-100 h, do not know if selectable). Diameter is 61.5mm, length is 170mm. The 4 tripwires are 10m long each.

Not a fake, great nice piece od ordnance and how Russian copies US stuff. Like the baseball sub they copied and the LAW. Are there any more pictures of this item out there and more on the actuator/fuzing? Like would the soldier carry 2 different fuzes with this item? Used with regular soldiers or SpecOps?
I think you neam POM-2R, which has specil sistem for landed by special hand device. And POM-2 isn`t copy of US munition.
EOD meant the BLU-42 A/B or BLU-54 submunition. This type of sub is also called the WAAPM (Wide Area Anti Personnel Mine). The Soviet POM-1 and POM-1S are copipes of it. As I understand it they are identical with the exception the POM-1S has a self destruct.
I haven`t seen any russian sorces with name Drozd, because oficcial documents from exhebition with this device gave name Vkladish.
no I heard another - Дичь
