1. In rocky areas: Vehicle movement might be limited to specific trails, making them predictable routes for mining. Rocky terrain can also aid concealment and hinder clearing.
2. On tracks running along a river: Rivers often define mobility corridors. Tracks along rivers are strategic lines of communication where traffic is channeled, presenting ideal targets for mining. Riverine terrain can also complicate clearing operations.
3. On roads, where water has accumulated: Water conceals mines visually and makes detection and clearing more hazardous. Mines designed for underwater use can be effectively employed here to deny or disrupt movement.
All three locations are tactically advantageous for employing anti-vehicle mines.
– Locations that channel traffic, offer concealment, or make clearing difficult are preferred.
