I am looking for the dimensions on this mine fuze, SUPMR-2A. I have images of it, although I can't post them here, but I don't have any measurements of it.

Does anyone have one they can measure, or document with the measurements on it?

Joe
 
Are you referring to this one?

It looks like the UPMR-2A (the fuze on the left mine in the picture above) ... but the nomenclature clearly says SUPMR-2A. I wish I could post a picture, but I can't right now.

Joe
 
I'm not sure if it can help, but in the 90's, we called this fuze UPMR-2AS !

So ... I finally got a SUPMR-2A AND a SUPMR-2AS. Maybe someone has something on these versions.

It is not S but S with a hook on top (Sh - Š) - Školski - training variant of real fuze.

Al-Saad will have more info.

I was also guessing training since the holes are factory drilled. You can see the paint in them still.
I was also wonder if the PK in the LOT CODE might point to someone other than Yugoslavian. All the training fuzes I saw in that region had yellow bands, and no holes in them. They also had the V and not the S in the nomenclatures.
If anything these are interesting.

In Yugoslavian People's army there were four different types of every type of antipersonnel and antitank mine:

1. Live (with explosive charge and initial part of the fuze)
2. Drill (with changable smoke charge and drill initial part of the fuze (incendiary cap for starting smoke charge)
3. School (Classroom model with inert explosive charge and inert initial part of the fuze)
4. School cutaway model (classroom model sectioned that 1/4 of the body is missing and it shows all inside parts of the mine and the fuze)

Markings:

1. For live mines markings are made with yellow or sometimes black letters (for example PROM-1)
2. Drill mines were painted as live in olive-grey standard YPA paint, with yellow band added on the body or on the fuze. Markings were the same, but with added prefix letter "V" what means drill, or "vežbovni" (for example VPROM-1)
3. School mines (classroom models) were painted the same as live, without yellow band, but they had added hole or holes on the body of the mine and on the fuze. Markings were the same as on live, but with added prefix "Š" what means "školska" or classroom model in english.
4. Without any markings or rarely markings the same as on 3.

you have school model of the fuze UPM-2A and UPM-2AS, prefix "š" means "školski" or classroom model

I hope that I helped ;).

You don`t have information about TMD-1 and TMD-2. And interesting, what`s tme mine TMD-2A? I haven`t heard about it.

Ivan, TMD-2A is upgraded type of TMD-2, the difference is that it has UANU-1 fuze, not MV-5 as on TMD-2. I was busy last months, I am working on my book about croatian made grenades from the war for independence, so I am here rarely. ;)

Really? Difference in it? Interesting to hear it. From that few years ago I got a book, where talks about different charges, but nothing about fuze. Maybe in that time chanegd only charges.
About grenades is interesting and you work on it for a long time, but what win book about mines, as you told before? :)
 
These are ordinary UPMR-2A and UPMR-2AS fuses with hole on body. The letter "Š" means "school" for classroom teaching ...
 
There have been 3 markings for this fuze.
UPMR-2A
VUPMR-2A
SUPMR-2A
With the letters S and V are instruction markings.
S = Skola (from memory)
