The POMZ-1 was an anti-personnel land mine used by the Soviet Union during World War II. ==Description== It was a fragmentation mine and was mounted on a small wooden stake. The mine is operated mainly via tripwire using a special MUV-type fuse that when the wire is pulled, the firing pin is able to strike the primer thus igniting the mine. Alternatively, the mine can be fitted with a standard pressure fuse that detonates when the target applies a certain amount of force. Inside the mine was 75 grams of TNT explosive. The blast radius was around 5 meters while fragmented pieces of the mine could travel an additional 5 meters.
