Hi, can anyone point me to a product or at least tell me the proper way to warn for mines in Russian? There are several products for signs warning of mines in German (Achtung Minen) and of course English but I want to put together a Russian minefield field that is being cleared by Germans with a minesweeper reaching the end of the mined area, which theoretically should have signage, warnings, etc. in Russian warning them not to enter. Here is product for Germans. If anyone knows of something similar for Russia I would love to hear about it.

The alternative is that I hand make my own signs. If so, what would be the correct way the Russian military would have identified there own minefields. A direct translation for landmines using Google Translate offers these:
Наземные мины
Nazemnyye miny
фугас
Anyone fluent enough in Russian to help?
Armor/AFV
For discussions on tanks, artillery, jeeps, etc.

Thanks so much. I see a common theme in these! Glad I didn't rely on Google Translate!

Мины!!! (mines) would be enough.
If you need a longer word, then you can use Заминировано! (mined).
Or Минное поле! (minefield).

Hi Bryan
Plus Model does offer a WW2 Russian signage set:
https://www.super-hobby.com/products/Road-signs-Russian-eastern-front-WW-II.html
I had a few of them translated (I was only looking for Kursk-area town names) so maybe Russian-speakers can identify other Mine-related signs in this set - I can tell you that the two-line sign sixth up on the left-hand edge says (roughly) “This area has been cleared of Mines”, I used that one in a Kursk dio on the assumption the Russians might have obligingly put them up in live minefields for advancing Germans to believe
