POM-3 (Medallion) Russian Anti-Personnel Mine

The POM-3 Russian Anti-Personnel Mine is a high-explosive (HE), scatterable, anti-personnel (AP), bounding fragmentation, self-destruct landmine designed to be dispersed/ejected from a variety of airborne and ground delivery systems. On dispersal from its container, the landmine is orientated by the use of a parachute. The POM-3 uses a proximity seismic fuze with a self-destruct time of either 8 or 24hrs. Once in a suitable position, a seismic rod sensor is forced into the ground. It is intended to bury itself into the ground to a depth of its body height. If it lands on hard ground, six spring-loaded feet deploy and position the landmine in an upright position.
