    I can add:
    1. I have never met a foreign analogue of the MS-3. And you can use it with any mine weighing more than 2 kg. It's simple: you dig a hole, install MS-3 (mine surprise), let’s say TM62 (anti-tank 8 kg of TNT-hexogen mixture). We remove the check (fuse) from the MS-3 (it will go to the firing position after 5 minutes), sprinkle, transfer the anti-tank to the firing position, and that’s all (do not forget to indicate in the form that it is non-removable). The enemy sapper will find the TM-62 and if it starts to remove it with his hands. MS-3 will unload and naturally explode, TM-62 detonates from it. In the general mother of this sapper, only the belt buckle will be sent (if found).
    2. PFM is a mine from the remote mining kit. In the cassette 72 such mines (and not necessarily green, saw yellow, brown, say there are white). Anti-personnel minefield with a diameter of 50 m in 1 sec. at the touch of a button.
