Very cheap mines to produce, they can be buried if you want the traditional minefield, or you can just simply lay them where they are as a quick-minefield. Quick minefields most likely don't kill anyone, unless its a trick minefield where the visible mines have hidden mines in front of them.

You just lay them on the ground in 2 minutes and now the advancing enemy army has to spend 4-5 hours disarming them if they want their vehicles to get past. While vehicle mines aren't always the most efficient at actually destroying vehicles, they're very effective at slowing down the enemy advance to a snail's pace.

Thats what IED's did in middle-east too. Very cheap bombs made from civilian materials. Western troops could have as advanced technology they wanted, they still had to move very slowly and scan every single rock and bush on the side of the road, slowing down the speed of the convoy to a walking pace.

It does indeed, but keep in mind Yandex is Russian. The more times you use it the more likely you are to end up on a list somewhere. Just something to think about.
