You also have induction fired AT mines (tank changes local magnetic
field), IR sensitive mines and trip wire (sort of) mines. The last two
are commonly placed on the side of a road, some of them actually fire an
IAVR. The Russians even developed an anti-helicopter mine, no doubt
based on the rotor's air displacement. GEVs anyone?
