As an aside, the unspecified place I just returned from used old Soviet
mines as the primary source for explosives (used for demo and engineer
ops).
Also, future minefields/mines should have the option to self destruct
after a certain amount of time (user specified) to make them safer to
civilians. Might be some Geneva stipulated mine feature. Ground sensors
work like that.
