The POM-3 is a scatterable mine of roughly cylindrical shape, able to be deployed from the air or by ground forces.[1] The Russian ISDM Zemledelie mine-laying rocket launcher, in service since 2021, can deploy the mines in a range from 5 to 15 km.[2] Once the mine hits the ground, stabilized by a small parachute, it stands upright on six spring-loaded feet on hard ground, or sticks into the ground if it is soft.[1][2]
The mine is activated by a seismic sensor forced into the ground. The sensor detects approaching footsteps and activates the mine if it determines that a person is within lethal range (about 16 meters). Upon activation, a fragmentation charge is ejected into the air and explodes.[1][2] The mine has a self-destructfuze that detonates the mine 8 or 24 hours after deployment.[1]
The POM-3 weighs 1.3kg and has a shelf-life of 11 years.[3]
