Land mines in use
-
Ok let talk about the manual methods.Originally posted by :I heard there's methods of laying mines whereby its close to almost impossible to remove the mine.
1 method is 4AP mines, 3 of them in a closed triangle formation while the 4th one is under all 3 of the mines. This way, if you tried to remove the any of the 3 top AP mine, the 4th one below the 3 AP mines will trigger and explode. So how do you disarm it? Only way, I see it is by using a C4 charge.
2 method is 2 AP mines, 1AP mine on top, while the other is below, the trick is the type of AP mine used below...
There are so many of these methods out there, I really sympathize our engineers who have to 'dig' and search and disarm the mine... if they encounter of any these methods, they're dead!
AP too dangerous to even try disarm, just dust away the covering soil, so you can see it clear, can use C4 to blow it or use a hook with a long string to drag and flip it over the same time
, usually it will blow . use wood and string to make tripod and dangle something heavy over the mine, release string from far to drop the thing over the ap mine .
yep there is roller methods..... but one advance method under research is to shoot a chemical fill bomb over the minefield, it blow and create a sudden air pressure over the whole piece of land, which is enough to trigger all the AT and AP mines to denote. Super fast, possible one person to manpack, and cover a large area. -
Fuel Air Explosives, the overpressure generated will set off any mine... But you have to use quite a lot of them to clear a field.

Haha yes, that ideal was for it to be done by aircraft.Originally posted by SingaporeTyrannosaur:Fuel Air Explosives, the overpressure generated will set off any mine... But you have to use quite a lot of them to clear a field.
I am just too eager and jump to the future to hope to see a manpack version.
