'''KMGU''' (Russian: ''Контейнер малогабаритных грузов унифицированный, Unified Container for Small-sized Load)'' is a Soviet munitions dispenser similar to the British JP233 and the German MW-1. It can be carried by most Soviet and Russian attack aircraft, including the MiG-23, the MiG-27, the MiG-29, the Su-22, the Su-24, the Su-25, the Su-27, the Su-30, and the Su-34 and the Mi-24, Ka-50 and the Ka-52 attack helicopter. The cylindrical aluminum fuselage is divided into 8 sections, each has its own pneumatically opened doors. It can be filled with: * 96 (8×12) ''AO-2,5RT'' 2.5 kilogram-mass high explosive mines * 96 (8×12) ''PTM-1'' anti-tank mines * 156 ''PFM-1S'' mines
