PMN-2

The waQment PMN-2 is an inert training replica of the Soviet-designed PMN-2 anti-personnel blast mine. Its characteristic circular body and distinctive cross-shaped pressure plate make it a relevant training aid for personnel preparing to operate in mine-contaminated environments.

Designed for Realistic Training

Mine awareness is most effective when recognising potential threats becomes an integrated part of operational training.

The waQment PMN-2 enables instructors to introduce realistic visual representations of anti-personnel blast mines into controlled training scenarios.

Its durable construction and realistic external appearance support repeated identification exercises and familiarisation with a mine type encountered in numerous conflict-affected regions.

Key Features

• Realistic appearance: Reproduces the characteristic circular body and cross-shaped pressure plate of the PMN-2.

• Fully inert: Contains no explosives, pyrotechnics or functional mine components.

• Durable construction: 3D-printed for repeated handling and field training.

• Scalable production: Supports training organisations requiring multiple replicas.

• Manufactured in Denmark: Produced through waQment's Danish manufacturing capabilities.

Operational Relevance

The PMN-2 was developed in the Soviet Union as a successor to the original PMN anti-personnel blast mine.

It is a pressure-activated mine designed to function when sufficient force is applied to its pressure plate.

The PMN-2 has been documented in multiple conflict and post-conflict environments, including Afghanistan and Ukraine. Its distinctive design makes it an important recognition target for personnel operating in areas affected by mine contamination.

How to Implement

The original PMN-2 is a pressure-activated anti-personnel blast mine. Unlike the scatterable PFM-1, it is primarily associated with manual emplacement rather than aerial or rocket-based dispersal.

PMN-2 mines may be encountered individually or as part of larger mine-contaminated areas. There is no universal standard number of mines per emplacement, as quantities depend on the circumstances.

The waQment PMN-2 replica allows instructors to represent these threats in controlled training environments, including scenarios involving visible or partially obscured simulated hazards.

The replica supports visual identification, recognition of characteristic mine features and the practice of established reporting and safety procedures.

The waQment PMN-2 contains no pressure-sensitive activation mechanism or explosive components.
