Highlighted is a Russian POM-2 scatterable, high explosive, anti-personnel submunition which deploys six legs for stabilization upon impact and four pressure- and pull-sensitive 9.5m (31.17’) long tripwires which end in a ‘Y’ fashion with plastic weights. Upon deployment, nylon ribbons (seen in the foreground) are deployed to help ensure the submunition lands upright, in addition to the stabilizing legs. Originally designed to be dispensed by rockets and helicopters, the war in Ukraine has seen the POM-2 modified for deployment via drone, hand and even from RPGs. (ARES)
