PM-79

Notes: This is a Bulgarian antipersonnel mine, similar to the Russian PMN, but smaller. The PM-79 requires a full 50 kg of pressure to operate, so most animals are unlikely to trigger it. The PM-79 has some resistance to overpressure and is only 10% likely per concussion dice applied to it to detonate. It may be disarmed, but as it cannot be neutralized before disarming, attempts are one level harder. The mine is made largely of plastic, and detection attempts are two levels harder. This mine is in use by Bulgaria and has been encountered in the Far East.

PSM-1

Notes: This Bulgarian bounding antipersonnel mine may be detonated by pressure (8kg), a tripwire (1kg), or electrical command detonation. The warhead contains a grenade ball with 1200 6mm steel shot spheres; it detonates at 1.5 meters, and double the normal number of fragments is directed into the abdomen and chest areas. The PSM-1 may be disarmed at normal chances, and is unlikely to be affected by overpressure (5% chance of a sympathetic detonation per concussion dice directed at it). This mine is used by Bulgarian forces, and has been used in Cambodia since the Vietnam War.

PTM-80P

Notes: This is a Bulgarian antitank mine of conventional metallic design. It is used in place of similar mines in Bulgaria, and has been sold on the open market. 150 kg of pressure are required to detonate it. The mine may be defused normally, and it is 25% likely to go off per concussion dice applied to it. The PTM-80P is waterproof, and may be used in waterlogged places such as shores and swamps.

TM-62M PZ

Notes: This Bulgarian antitank mine is based on the Russian T-62M, but is significantly different in appearance. The mine may be fused normally, requiring 150 kg to detonate; or a combined magnetic/acoustic fuse may be used, in which case the mine will detonate when a sufficient mass of metal or amount of noise (at least equivalent to a motorcycle) passes over it. In this case, the mine will usually detonate when the engine compartment passes over it. If the magnetic/acoustic fuse is used, the mine may be detonated 50% of the time when a mine detector is used, or 10% of the time if a knife blade is used to probe for it. If a normal fuse is used, the mine is 25% likely to go off per concussion dice applied to it.
