Anti horror
Black Widow - “Black Widow”, this name was given to this Soviet mine, known in the world not less than the famous Kalashnikov assault rifle, and just as widespread.

For the first time, this mine was talked about during the Vietnam War of 1964 – 1975. Along with the fighting in the jungle, “black widows” also sprang up: Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. In 1967, the “widows” reached the Middle East, where Egyptian and Syrian troops actively used them. They were installed in thousands during the Soviet-Afghan war from 1979 to 1989. This mine could be found in any country affected by armed conflict in the second half of the last century. It was this mine that deprived Shamil Basayev of his feet when, with the militants in January 2000, he broke from Grozny. It is quite possible that it was the journalist Dmitry Kholodov who took it in his office when an explosion struck.

Like the Kalashnikov assault rifle, the PMN mine was born in the USSR in 1949, and, like an automaton, it was produced and produced under licenses and without them in many countries. In China, under the designation Type 58, in Hungary - Gyata 64, in Argentina - FMK-1, in Bulgaria - PMN, as well as in Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, India, Cuba, etc. Accurate data why the mine was dubbed the "black widow", no. Maybe because of the black color of the rubber cover or because the person stepping on it has little chance of remaining alive. But most likely - because of the irrational fear of mines, which covers even the fired and experienced soldiers, paralyzes their will, deprives courage and the ability to go forward.



Curse of infantry

In reality, far fewer people died from mines in all wars and were crippled than from bullets, shells and bombs. Oddly enough, but the main striking factor of an anti-personnel mine is not the force of an explosion or fragments. Mina cripples not so much the body as the soul of a soldier. Mine fear (another name - mine horror) - this is what stops the advancing infantry, this is what makes the fighters afraid to take at least a step. Moreover, the more experienced the soldier, the more he fights, the stronger the mine terror.

But the probability of stepping on a PMN minefield on a standard Soviet minefield is only 0,07, that is, out of a hundred soldiers caught in such a field, only seven will be blown up. And meanwhile, knowing that the minefield is ahead, the soldiers would refuse to go on the attack or, realizing that they were on the minefield, they would lie down and would prefer to become fixed targets for enemy machine guns rather than rush forward or retreat.

The soldier in battle is afraid, of course, of bullets and shells. But he understands that on the other side the same soldier also cannons are beating at him and machine guns are firing - there is a confrontation. Those who are more skilled, experienced, courageous and quick are also more likely to win and stay alive. Mine is not like that. And the consciousness of the fact that you yourself bring your killer into action deprives a person of courage and paralyzes his will.

Near

Consider PMN closer. This is a Soviet anti-personnel high-explosive mine pressure action. Anti-personnel - that is, designed specifically for the destruction or injury of a person. High-explosive - striking force of the explosion. Pressing action means it will explode only when pressure is applied to it with a force of at least 8 – 25 kg. To trigger is enough to come.

Inside the mine there is a charge of trotyl weighing 200 g. When the mine explodes, the ensuing leg usually comes off to the knee. What happens to the second leg depends on whether the person is walking or running. In the first case, he is likely to lose his second leg; in the second - the leg can survive. In addition, a powerful shock wave deprives a person of consciousness, drives remnants of shoes, clothes, fragments of his own bones into his body, and burning explosive gases cause severe burns. If a person who has undermined a mine is not provided with timely first aid, death from a painful shock or large blood loss can occur.

Frost resistant option

Along with all its advantages, PMN also had a very significant drawback: the time of bringing a mine into a combat position depended on temperature. If at a temperature of + 40ОС mine is transferred to the combat position in 2 – 3 minutes, then at –40ОС it takes two and a half days - the cold sharply increases the resistance of the metal of the safety plate to cutting (see inset).

Therefore, by the second half of the sixties, the PMN-2 mine was accepted into service with the Soviet army. It differed from the PMN in that instead of the metal element being cut, a rubber bellows was installed in it, in other words, a short rubber corrugated tube that was in a safety position in a compressed state. Such devices in the language of miners are called “long-cocking mechanisms”. Pulling the safety brace, the miner released the bellows, which began to fill with air through the calibrated holes and straighten out. At the same time, at the end of its straightening, the bellows released a spring-loaded slider with a detonator, which became opposite to the drummer.

Mina PMN-2, besides the fact that the time of her bringing into combat was incomparably less dependent on temperature (under all conditions from 2 to 10 minutes), had another valuable feature - she was always ready to work. The only operation performed by the miner was that he turned and pulled out the safety clip. But PMN had previously to be prepared for work: unscrew the cork, insert a detonator into the mine, wrap the cork, unscrew the cork on the opposite side of the mine and check the operability of the metal element.

The charge of the mine was reduced by half, because it was recognized that 200 g of TNT was a bit too much - the person had enough and half the charge. True, TNT was replaced by more powerful explosives TG-40 (a mixture of TNT and RDX). The trigger force was raised from 8 – 25 kg to 15 – 25 kg in order to increase the mine’s resistance to explosive demining. However, PMN-2 was much more difficult to manufacture, and therefore much more expensive. She did not enjoy popularity. While PMN is widely known throughout the world, PMN-2 was used sparingly, mainly in the CIS, in Afghanistan and some other countries. Yes, and it was made exclusively in the Soviet Union.

Widow's heirs

By the end of the seventies, it ceased to satisfy the military and PMN-2. The maneuverable nature of modern wars, their short duration led to the fact that often their own minefields became a hindrance to the troops. In addition, after the end of hostilities, minefields had to be cleared, which took a lot of resources and time.

It was required that after a certain time, anti-personnel mines would either become safe or self-destruct. Therefore, the PMN-3 mine was developed, which externally did not differ from the PMN-2, but had an electronic fuse that ensured reliable operation of the mine under the soldier’s foot, excluding the explosion of the mine from the impact of a shock wave upon detonation of demining charges (due to the difference in pressure on the mine shock wave and legs) and automatically blew mine after a predetermined period. It was possible to pre-set the counter for a period of time from 0,5 to 8 days, after which the mine exploded without causing harm to anyone. Knowing the time of the combat work of the minefield, the commanders were confident that by the right time this minefield would not exist.

But the eighties came, funding for the army began to decline, and a much cheaper mine was needed. It was decided to abandon the release of expensive PMN-3 in favor of a cheap last version of the Soviet anti-personnel anti-personnel high-explosive mine - PMN-4. This mine is smaller both in diameter, (9,5cm) and in height (4,2cm), and in the mass of the bursting charge (total 50 g TG-40). The long-cocking mechanism was hydraulic. After removing the safety guard, the rubber gel began to be squeezed out through the calibrated holes, which took from 1 to 40 minutes depending on the ambient temperature. After this, the mine became in a martial position. The mechanism of self-destruction was abandoned for economic reasons. The era of very different mines has come.

      In the winter of 2000, I had to deal with this product: in the fall - winter of 1999 they were actively used when entering the territory of the Chechen Republic, but due to the most likely duration of storage in warehouses, self-destruction did not always work, the "Czechs" collected them and used them as ordinary antipersonnel mines, laying out on the spot where the ambush device was supposed to be. We were lucky, no one stepped on, we accidentally ran over an armored personnel carrier-80 with a wheel, pulled out one "fang" of the lug, even the wheel was not punctured.

    And why didn’t the author know how to write about mines? Well, if you undertook to write, so read the material thoroughly, and then write. From my point of view, the author did not indicate the main properties of the mine.

    The acronym PMN does not mean (according to the author) anti-personnel high-explosive mine of push action. PMN means - Plastic Mina Push. Exactly plasticso that it could not be detected by a mine detector.

    Take a closer look at the metal ring and cotter pin in white because they are made not of steel, but of some non-electromagnetic alloys. This is also so that the mine detector does not detect. And the drummer of this mine is made of the same alloy. Why is the plastic case on top of the mine tightened with a thick layer of rubber? Therefore, in order not to use a steel pressure spring in a mine. The hammer acts on the fuse with a certain deflection of the elastic rubber layer.

    And why not knowing any nonsense to write.

            They were not surprised by MON, but by the fact that they found PMN. After all, they told us that it was not detectable by the mine detectors of the time.

            But MON does not need to find a special military education. You have to be careful. They hung this plate on trees and put it in the bushes, that is, they did not bury it and pulled a banner from it.

            That's for sure. Early March. Already not winter frosts, but frosts, snow. And all the huyvenbin in running shoes run.

            And their tactics were "human waves". The infantry wave after wave, chain after chain, was supposed to roll on the enemy, despite any losses. Until the enemy is exhausted or until the ammunition ends. They said that the first three chains were with weapons, the rest were without. They had to pick up the weapons of the slain in the first lines.

            By the way, the tactics of "human waves" were instilled in the Chinese by Marshal Blucher, being, in the mid-20s, a military adviser to Chai Kang Shi. Blucher himself first used such tactics when he was the commander of 51 divisions in 1920, during the assault on Perekop. Then Blucher created six waves. Then Blucher used this tactic in 1921 in the Far East. Either near Spassk, or near Volochaevka. Then the first three waves were made up of Koreans, armed only with scissors, to cut the barbed wire, and behind them were the waves of the Red Army.

            Oh. Something started talking. Anyway.

              My uncle in Damansky was a border guard lieutenant.
              At first, human waves were completely unarmed and forced out and beat border guards, but did not use weapons. Ours also beat them manually.
              When we started shooting, there was a normal offensive by all the rules, all the Chinese were armed.
              The real losses on Damansky from our side were killed by several hundred people, and not several dozen, as the authorities still claim.

      In fact, this is a wooden anti-personnel mine. Further: there are but few metal parts in this mine, this is the striking spring, and other parts of the fuse. Next: to make it impossible to use an induction mine detector, it is very simple to stick nails (or other metal parts) throughout the minefield. Not an experienced sapper with a mine detector will cover the entire field, but will leave half of the mines even if there are metal mines.

              This is UR-77, and the snake gorynych is an elongated mine clearance UZ-3. Normal sappers drag him into the minefield, and some hang on him full-time powder propellant rocket engines and think that he will fly to the minefield himself.
              So, this one-hundred-meter structure weighing 3 tons, belching fire and smoke with a wild roar, began to bend, rise, fidget in different directions. Then, of course, according to the laws of physics, it broke into pieces, which began to fly through the sky with smoke and howling in various directions. No wonder the UZ-3R immediately received the loud and unflattering name "Serpent Gorynych" from the infantry and tankers.

In addition, a mine trawl will withstand no more than 10 anti-tank mine detonations. NATO sappers have a mine clearing machine similar to a combine harvester, but instead of a reel, a rotating shaft with chains is installed, when the chains rotate, they hit the ground leading to mine detonation.

                  This is all good that I showed here, and your cars are good, but a sapper with a dog is much cheaper, both in terms of acquisition and operation. About sappers usually remember when they run into a mine, then these machines are too late to buy. BMR-3 is the fruit of the Kulibin thought of Afghan sappers, embodied in a production car. There, out of the obsolete T-55, with the help of electric welding and E mother, our sappers fought similar vehicles.

And the spring is brisk, of course, you will not make it otherwise than steel.

        electromagnetic alloys.-0_0 something new_


        I meant that there are some non-electromagnetic alloys, roughly speaking, that do not create electromagnetic fields. Therefore, it is not possible or difficult to detect products from such alloys with conventional mine detectors. Typical non-electromagnetic substances - plastic, wood, glass, etc.

          The fact is that mine detectors, it is more correct to call them metal detectors, detect any metal alloys, including non-magnetic ones. Be it steel, bronze, mercury or gold. The main part is an induction coil that generates el. a magnetic field. Any metal caught in this field causes its distortion, then a signal sounds. The closer the metal, the stronger the distortion, the louder the sound. But there are mines in which there is no metal at all, so every soldier of an engineer-sapper battalion has a probe with him, which he trusts more. By the way, there are mines "goodbye sapper", somewhere here I wrote about them. Sincerely. hi

    ... knowing that the minefield is in front, the soldiers will refuse to attack or, realizing that they are in the minefield, lie down and prefer to become motionless targets for enemy machine guns rather than rushing forward or retreating.
    To survive, do you need to continue the attack? Is this the reason why the soldiers deliberately threw soldiers into minefields during the war to mine them? Just to pour dirt on the army?

      Remember the movie "penal battalion"? We didn't have time to clear the field, but we had to go on the attack. Minefields ahead, machine guns behind. You need to have nerves of iron or not at all. And I read more similar things in my memoirs, I don't remember the author. So this is not dirt, it was a necessity. hi

    Why is the plastic case on top of the mine tightened with a thick layer of rubber? Therefore, in order not to use a steel pressure spring in a mine. The hammer acts on the fuse with a certain deflection of the elastic rubber layer.

          Live and learn. We were given an assignment on the set to find anti-tank mines (metal) on the plot, the obstacles said 5 pieces were buried, how much you would bring such an estimate and get, and then we added them, we installed them in the fall, and it was in the spring. Then we understood the induction mine detector needed to spoil the life of the sapper, the infection squeaked for everything. The construction site (abandoned) also adjoined our site. In general, we dragged 4 mines. All are found by probes. Only money spent on batteries wasted.

    Here's another in the continuation of this line of mines >>> ANTI-EMERGENCY MINE PMD-6M in a wooden case
    The mine can be installed both on the ground and in the soil, in the snow, manually or laid out by means of mechanization (trailed mine distributors PMR-1, PMR-2, but in all cases the mine is put into a combat position manually.

    The term of the mine’s combat work is limited by the life of the wooden hull. When it is destroyed by rotting, the pressure cap may not squeeze the combat pin out of the fuse and the explosion will not occur. The mine is not equipped with a self-liquidator. It has no elements of non-detachability and non-neutralization, however, the very high sensitivity of the MUV series detonator makes the clearance of mines extremely dangerous. In addition, a mine-surprise may be placed under the mine, which makes the extraction or clearance of mines impossible.

    Mina consists of a wooden case, TNT 200g. TNT checker, fuse of the МУВ series with a “T” -shaped pin, fuse МД-2 (МД-5М)

    mine MON-50

    Mine guided anti-personnel fragmentation guided destruction. Designed to incapacitate enemy personnel. The defeat of a person (or several at the same time) during a mine explosion is done with ready-made killer elements (balls or rollers) flying in the direction of the enemy in a sector along the horizon of 54 degrees to a range of up to 50 meters. The height of the affected sector is from 15 cm to 4 meters at the maximum range. The explosion is carried out by the operator from the control panel when the enemy appears in the defeat sector, or when the enemy soldier is grazed by the breakaway sensor of the MVE-72 fuse, or by the tension sensor (wire) of the MUV series fuse. The mine itself is not equipped with fuses, but in the upper part there are two threaded sockets for fuse MD-2 or MD-5M, electric detonator EDP-R. Thus, a mine can be activated in one of two ways.

      You at least check on Yandex what you write PMR-1 is a Yugoslav fragmentation-guarding mine. And the PMZ-4 trailed mine layer is in the photo, and is intended only for anti-tank mines. And the rest is right.

    The main disadvantage of an anti-personnel mine is its indiscriminate targeting. How many of their own are being undermined! And civilians?
    The future is controlled by minefields. We must stop the enemy-turned on.
    We must go by ourselves, turned off.

    The author, of course, I'm sorry, but I just want to swear at you, and even with a three-story mat! You ask why? And I will answer you. You write about different probabilities, about the fact that the soldiers will lie down and become easy targets, about the fact that it is better to run forward to the enemy and punish him, etc. What do you think is the most important thing in battle? I believe that the main thing is to survive, and to the best of my ability not to let the enemy survive and complete the combat mission! Although about the combat mission is a controversial issue, because today it can remain alive and retreat and try again tomorrow or die as a hero today without reaching the goal! The very fact of one healthy living soldier somewhere on the flank, even if he does not shoot, but simply looms and distracts, forces the enemy to be distracted by him to pull certain forces, etc. And you say run the soldier forward to success! What are you talking about? Is your brain all right? Your phrase "the more experienced the soldier, the more he is afraid of mines!" You know, I would not dare to break through a minefield either! This is at least stupid! After all, the enemy knows that there will not be a minefield, which means we will meet on the flank! If you offer people to clear minefields, then I will let you go forward to success! For a long time they have come up with such wonderful demining installations such as the UR-77!
