    Jesus who the fuck invents these things

    This mine in particular was developed in the USSR and used in Afghanistan. Production and use continues with the Russian Federation.

        Yeah, it is indeed very similar to the BLU-43 mine developed by the US and used in Vietnam. They are not only very similar in shape but they also have the same goal: inflict heavy wounds instead of outright killing.
