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.

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.
