How are landmines typically deployed?
Landmines are commonly deployed in conflict zones to restrict movement and create a defensive barrier. They are typically buried just below the surface of the ground, often near roads, paths, or other areas where people are likely to walk or drive. The exact methods of deployment may vary depending on the specific type of landmine used, but they are generally designed to be triggered by pressure or tripwire mechanisms.
Landmines are deployed by carefully selecting strategic locations where they can cause the most damage to enemy forces. These locations are typically marked on maps and aerial photographs for reference. Specialized teams then dig holes in the ground, carefully place the landmines, and cover them with soil or other materials to conceal their presence. The mines are armed and activated remotely, allowing for precise timing and maximum impact.
