What you are describing is what was called an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in the US/Iraq war[1]. Very effective against a superiorly equipped invading force. Works great against lightly armored vehicles like fuel trucks.

- krisoft 5y agoIt doesn't have to be improvised. Some armies have what they call "off-route mines". They are essentially a shaped charge projector coupled with a triggering mechanism. If employed by the kind of folks who care about civilian casualties there are smarter triggering mechanism which are unlikely to be triggered by someone walking by, or even driving by in something less heavy than a tank. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=praws6uM--A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=praws6uM--A
