OZM-72, Bounding antipersonnel fragmentation mine, Infantry WeaponsInfantry WeaponsOZM-72Bounding antipersonnel fragmentation mineSide: Russia / Houthi-Saleh forces / Libyan National Army / Armenia / ArtsakhBuilt: Factory 583 / Soviet state arsenals / Soviet Union / RussiaThe OZM-72 is a Soviet-designed bounding antipersonnel fragmentation mine that ejects from its casing before detonation, projecting fragments around the burst point. In the Russia-Ukraine War, Human Rights Watch has documented OZM-72 mines among Russian antipersonnel mine use, making the system part of Ukraine's wider explosive-ordnance clearance problem in retaken areas.
MON-100, Directional anti-personnel fragmentation mine, Infantry WeaponsInfantry WeaponsMON-100Directional anti-personnel fragmentation mineSide: Russia / Libyan National ArmyBuilt: Soviet and Russian state arsenals, exact plant not identified in open sources / USSR and RussiaThe MON-100 is a Soviet/Russian directional anti-personnel fragmentation mine, a larger member of the MON family intended to project steel fragments across a 100-meter danger area. In the Russia-Ukraine War it appears in mine-action reporting as one of the MON-series mines used by Russian forces, adding to the hand-emplaced and tripwire or command-initiated explosive hazards facing Ukrainian deminers and civilians.
MON-90, Directional fragmentation anti-personnel mine, Infantry WeaponsInfantry WeaponsMON-90Directional fragmentation anti-personnel mineSide: RussiaBuilt: Soviet state arsenals / Bulgarian production / Soviet Union / BulgariaThe MON-90 is a Soviet-designed directional fragmentation anti-personnel mine, broadly comparable in role to a large Claymore-type munition. It uses a plastic, curved body and a heavy explosive charge to project steel fragments across a fixed arc, and open-source mine-action reporting identifies it among the antipersonnel mines contaminating Ukrainian territory during the Russia-Ukraine War.
POMZ-2, Stake-mounted antipersonnel fragmentation mine, Infantry WeaponsInfantry WeaponsPOMZ-2Stake-mounted antipersonnel fragmentation mineSide: Armenia / ArtsakhBuilt: Soviet state arsenals and licensed or copied producers / Soviet UnionThe POMZ-2 is a Soviet stake-mounted antipersonnel fragmentation mine built around a serrated cast-iron body, TNT charge, and pull-fuze tripwire. In the Nagorno-Karabakh context it appears as part of the Soviet-leftover antipersonnel mine stocks reported by Nagorno-Karabakh authorities, with broader defensive mine use documented along the line of contact with Azerbaijan.
