Ah, I should provide context.
From a tactical perspective, the minefield is easy to clear.
In terms of long-term effects, the mines are definitely worse. We are still finding mines from World War II all over Europe, and it’s a huge problem in Korea as well.
- kjs3 7y agoNo. From a tactical perspective, minefields are very difficult to clear, especially in the short term to achieve tactical objectives. That's why they're effective. The fact they're dangerous decades later shows it's not easy.
- dogma1138 7y agoMinefields are also very hard to deploy they take about as much to setup as to clear.
- kjs3 7y agoNo. Completely untrue. Minefields can be deployed by air drop or artillery over wide areas in a moment. Google FASCAM, or cluster munitions, for example. It hasn't been exclusively some guys burying them one by one by hand since WW1.
