You never know if there are mines hidden there, so you don’t just run ovet it , and it slows you down , sometimes enough to get hit by a missile. Plus , when they are covered in barbed wire , they can really stop a tank,and it takes time to untagle it from tracks so again , super dangerous situation. Simple, old fashioned yet still effective if used properly…
