Anti-tank mines are explosive devices designed to disable or destroy armored vehicles, such as tanks. They are typically buried underground or placed on the surface, and they detonate when a vehicle drives over them or applies pressure. These mines are often made with a combination of explosives and metal components to maximize their destructive power. These mines are used in military operations to create obstacles and protect strategic areas. They can be deployed in various terrains and are often part of a broader defensive strategy. The use of anti-tank mines poses significant risks to both military personnel and civilians, especially after conflicts have ended.
