IF the mines they’re deploying are THAT stupid/primitive, THEN simply shooting the things with a high-powered-rifle, using explosive bullets, ought clear them out?
I’d had the impression that modern mines are underwater things, unseen until one hits them.
Those should be a joke/mere-inconvenience ( if shot/detonated before they hit ), if they all float like that, & have visible/orange rust on 'em.
Have you seen any World War II movies? The mines are changed the ground as per usual, that one’s obviously come loose. So yeah, that single mine is not much of a threat but it’s invisible brethren still are.
