This shouldn't be too difficult with a bit aof electronics.

Some problems:
- Attaching the mine
- Keeping it attached while it shakes the tank to little pieces
- Supplying enough energy to do the job - probably about the same as to
blow a hole in the tank
- Not as quick as an explosive mine.
- Countermeasures - electronical or mechanical to dampen or actively
countract the vibrations.

For most game types, probably not too different from other stick-on
mines.
