Page "Area denial weapon" Paragraph 11

During an armed conflict there are several methods of countering land mines.

These include using armoured vehicles to negate the effects of anti-personnel land mines.

Land mines can also be cleared either by hand, or by using specialised equipment such as tanks equipped with flails.

Explosives can also be used to clear mine fields, either by artillery bombardment, or with specialised charges such as Bangalore torpedos, the Antipersonnel Obstacle Breaching System and the Python Minefield Breaching System.
