The suspensions on Mine resistant vehicles is designed to shear away.
That prevents some of the energy from affecting the AFV as much. You
WANT to loose the suspension to a point.

Sure. Usually figure a mobilityt kill instead though. Or you can have no
useful effect.

can see with the Canadian LAVs, anytime they get hit, they tend to stop.
Crew tend to be rattled enough not to be immediately mobile and often
times the LAV will tip or flip. That's a non-penetrating kill.

It's enough to get out of the dedicated kill zone. If it's a mine
field...well....Good luck.
