'''KMGU''' ([Russian](/source/Russian_language): ''Контейнер малогабаритных грузов унифицированный, Unified Container for Small-sized Load)'' is a Soviet munitions dispenser similar to the British [JP233](/source/JP233) and the German [MW-1](/source/MW-1). It can be carried by most Soviet and Russian attack aircraft, including the [MiG-23](/source/MiG-23), the [MiG-27](/source/MiG-27), the [MiG-29](/source/MiG-29), the [Su-22](/source/Su-22), the [Su-24](/source/Su-24), the [Su-25](/source/Su-25), the [Su-27](/source/Su-27), the [Su-30](/source/Su-30), and the [Su-34](/source/Su-34) and the [Mi-24](/source/Mi-24), [Ka-50](/source/Ka-50) and the [Ka-52](/source/Ka-52) attack helicopter. The cylindrical [aluminum](/source/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](/source/AO-2%2C5RT)'' 2.5 kilogram-mass high explosive mines
* 96 (8×12) ''[PTM-1](/source/PTM-1)'' anti-tank mines
* 156 ''[PFM-1](/source/PFM-1)S'' mines
