That field would be easy . Just trigger the first one and because they are so close the rest will go off.....
22-250 at 400 yards ! Job well done.

Have you seen the vids of little cars in Ukraine carefully driving over those by centering the line of them between their wheels? Saw one where there were a bunch of mines at angles on a bridge. Watched 2 cars do the trick, but who knows, maybe all fake...

I would worry was some below grade as well.

Engineers never make it easy to take something we build apart.
But fake or not we just made you stop or go around right where we wanted you to for our buddies on the heavy guns.

Or we wait until Bossman gets out in the middle of those things then take him out from distance.
Mines are nasty business no matter how you cut it. Remote initiation is one of those things that will get you, and is the worst case scenario.

Dad was infantry and was in country for that Tet shindig. He was not happy at all with me being an engineer. As he told it, Charlie loved sneaking in at night and mining the roads then at first light the engineers had to go out and find those mines. He said they lost quite a few engineers the way I described.

Ex 12B here. Surface laid mines are common practice. The idea is to kill the first vehicle that doesn't see them, then they pause and decide whether to breech through, or go around. Everything around that mine field is a pre-sighted artillery kill box. They pause, drop artillery on them. They bring up engineers to breech, drop artillery on them. They move west toward cover, drop artillery on them. Actually more efficient to put in and remove, and a lot of times just as effective.
We are Artillery, King of battle, follow me!

Watched 2 cars do the trick, but who knows, maybe all fake... That wouldn't surprise me one little bit. I am always giving my Slavic (Russian and Ukrainian) friends a hard time about their terrible risk assessment skills.
