Remnants of KPFM-1S-SK cassettes manufactured in 1988

Remnants of KPFM-1S-SK cassettes manufactured in 1988 that Human Rights Watch researchers found in Izium in September 2022. These cassettes are used for the delivery of PFM mines by the 220mm 9M27K3 Uragan mine-laying rocket. The cassette opens in flight using a small explosive charge to separate it from the rocket motor section of the weapon and scatters 312 PFM mines into an area.
