    I recently learned that land mines were created to take out tanks. Not saying they should be used since Europe has issues with land mines being everywhere, plus they’re horrifying. Just thought I’d share that. I don’t know why I’m making this comment.

      Land mines require a degree of recon work, I would imagine - to determine routes from which the tanks wll advance. Plus, you know, it’s a defensive weapon. Plus there are systems of removing/creating breaches in the minefields.

      Plus Ukraine has enough problem with mines already. Remember that time AFU lobbed a bunch of Lepestok anti-personell mines at Donetsk? Yeah.

        Yeah definitely not suggesting mines, this only reminded me of a conversation with a friend about land mines. I was saying how devastating they are and I didn’t understand why they exist, he told me it was for tanks. So seeing a post about defenses against tanks just reminded me of that.
