how do landmines work and how much damage can they do?
In: Technology
On top of the mine is a easily breakable cork that holds a “detonator”, a small metal tube that falls down inside the mine if the cork is broken. When the tube hits the bottom it releases a spark which triggers which then triggers the explosion. The cork is usually carried separately from the mine and placed in place only when the mine is half buried in the ground.
Well at least this is how anti vehicle landmines work.
