It is considered extremely dangerous to disarm PMN mines by removing the fuze, unless they have only recently been laid and are in good condition. Even if this is the case, what appears to be a standard PMN-1 mine may in fact be the PMN-3 or MS-3 versions, which feature an integral anti-handling device which is specifically designed to kill ...

The ML-7 (From Russian: МЛ-7 – Мина Ловушка-7, Translation: Trap Mine-7) is a Soviet booby trap mine that serves the purpose of an anti-handling device for explosive charges or other anti-personnel mines. The ML-7 is generally used with PMN-1, PMN-2 and PMN-4 mines, but can also be used with any other item over 0.3 kg in weight ...
The mines cannot be laid manually and must be laid only using minelaying systems, such as remote mining machine UMZ, portable mining kit - PKM (mortar), and those present on multiple rocket launchers, helicopters (VSM-1 mine system) or airplanes. [1] [10] The remote minelaying systems can only use cluster munition containing PFM-1 mines. The ...

The PMN-150 and PMN-250 are large directional fragmentation mines that scatter fragments in a 60 degree horizontal arc. The PMN-150 produces approximately 1,500 fragments that have an effective range of 150 meters. The PMN-250 is a larger mine which produces 2,100 fragments that have an effective range of 250 meters.
The mines were not used on the Berlin Wall. [1] Initial plans called for the SM-70 to completely replace the buried PMN anti-personnel mines along the border, but initial problems with the electrical firing devices after exposure to the elements actually resulted in more PMN mines being emplaced as a stopgap measure.

OZM mine may sometimes be laid directly on top of an MS-3 mine. The MS-3 is an anti-handling device which closely resembles a PMN mine, except that it has a "blister" on top and operates purely as a pressure-release boobytrap. Lifting an OZM mine (without rendering safe the MS-3 placed underneath) will trigger detonation.
