A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
Russia has resumed production of the PMD-6, a World War II-era anti-personnel landmine that was officially decommissioned in 1949. The move mirrors Ukraine's use of old balloon techniques to deliver drones to the front lines, highlighting how both sides in the conflict are resorting to outdated military technology. The PMD-6 is a pressure-activated anti-personnel mine using a standard TNT block.
