During the BEDEX 2026 exhibition, Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ) and the Czech holding Czechoslovak Group (CSG) jointly presented the Modular Mine Laying System mounted on a Tatra 6×6 chassis.

Since a prototype of this configuration was also unveiled on February 9 of this year at the World Defense Show 2026 in Riyadh, the Polish-Czech consortium plans to offer this system in both the Middle East and European markets, based on a mutually signed agreement. As Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa told CZ DEFENCE: “The modular mine-laying system is one of our key product projects with significant export potential. However, due to trade secrets and ongoing processes within our group and among our partners, including foreign ones, we are not disclosing details at this stage.”

On March 11, CSG and PGZ also signed a framework cooperation agreement, which lays the foundation for deeper industrial, technological, and commercial cooperation. This agreement paves the way for expanding existing cooperation, including projects related to the production of ammunition and armored tactical vehicles.

“The modular mine-laying system has significant export potential, as many countries are currently seeking modern, mobile, and scalable systems of this class for access control. This is also why we decided to partner with CSG, whose platforms form the backbone of logistics in many countries. As the name suggests, the system is modular, which means that its configuration—including the choice of carrier, number of modules, and additional equipment—is tailored to the specific customer’s requirements. That is why we do not speak of a single ‘final configuration,’ a PGZ representative told CZ DEFENCE.”

The Modular Remote Mining System (MSMN / MMLS) is a solution developed and manufactured by Bydgoskie Zakłady Elektromechaniczne Belma, a member of the PGZ Group. The system features fully automated minefield deployment, allowing for various field sizes, mine densities, and self-neutralization times. The depth of the minefield ranges from 60 to 180 meters, and its length can reach up to 1,800 meters. Belma also manufactures the MN-123 scatter mines used in this system.

The system is designed as a configurable solution that allows for adaptation to specific user requirements. In Poland, it is known as the PMN Baobab-K and has been supplied to the Polish Armed Forces since 2023. In addition, on December 31, 2025, Huta Stalowa Wola was commissioned to develop a tracked version, the TMN Baobab-G, which will replace the older Kroton mine systems based on the SPG-2A armored personnel carrier. The Bluszcz unmanned or optionally piloted system has also been developed.

The MSMN, Baobab-K, Baobab-G, and Bluszcz systems use MN-123 anti-tank cluster mines. These mines have a diameter of 180 mm, a height of 90 mm, and weigh 3.7 kg. They can be equipped with EFP (Explosively Formed Penetrator) warheads capable of penetrating up to 60 mm of armor. Detonation can be triggered by magnetic, delayed, or instant fuses. The mines can be programmed prior to deployment to explode after a specified time has elapsed or after a certain number of vehicles have passed over them. In accordance with international conventions, the mines are rendered harmless after a specified period, either through self-destruction or deactivation.
