Descriptions

Outline Description: Structure:

PROM-1 is a bounding, fragmentation,

antipersonnel landmine. The mine uses the

UPROM-1 pressure/tilt fuze and is normally

tripwire initiated. The mine may be planted in

water up to half a meter deep. The practice

version of the mine, the VPROM-1 with the

VUPROM practice fuze, is identical in

appearance and dimensions with the

exception of vent holes in the mine body and

painting and markings.

The steel body contains the main charge and

central propellant tube, with the detonator

assembly offset within the body. The fuze

assembly screws into the well at the top while

the base consists of a heavy plug attached

with shear screws.

Assemblies: Markings:

The bottle-shaped cast steel body has a central

well for the attachment of the fuze assembly.

The detonator is fixed within the mine body.

The mine body and fuze are olive green.

Markings on the mine body are yellow, while

those on the fuze are black. The practice mine

is also olive green with a yellow band around

the mine body and fuze nut. Markings are

black. Smoke practice mines may have

markings in black only.

Method of Operation: Alert:

Initiating the fuze ignites a propellant chargein a central tube, which blows off the base to

propel the mine body into the air. A tether

wire fed from the base then initiates the

detonator and main charge to shatter the steel

body into fragments.

Highly dangerous. No attempt should bemade to neutralize this mine unless absolutely

necessary. Cannot be disarmed as detonator is

integral.

VPROM-1

Practice version of the PROM-1.

It has the same dimensions but is used with a small training smoke charge.

The yellow band around the body identifies it as a trainer.

ŠPROM-1 This is an older school version of PROM-1 mine, made in 1960's.

It was made in factory KV (KRUŠIK VALJEVO) from the same parts as practice mineVPROM-1 and from inside it also has a metal cup for fixing the smoke charge. It has

four smoke emission holes drilled in the top of the body.

ŠPROM-1 were not to be used in the field for training soldiers, they were only used in

classrooms.
