Genuinely fuck all the people who worked at that company. Mines in an active combat zone are already super problematic, but ValMec SPA went out of their way to build the “best” mines possible, and FLOODED the global market with their mines before the Ottawa ban.
Typical anti-personnel mines operate as a ‘denied zone’ effect - while mines are often buried there’s usually enough ferrous metal present (or deliberately added after construction) that makes proven detectors effective. Find a single mine of any type or power, anywhere and your choices narrow severely; avoid minefield and go around is the safe bet, in a pinch call in the sappers and spend A LOT of time disarming them. Buuuut with this company’s mines…
Detection is nearly impossible due to low/zero metal design, and methods that sense the chemical explosive instead (which were developed as a response to their mines) are far less reliable at detection
If you find the mine(s) they have tricks to make defusal very risky and all can accept redundant, booby trap detonators to kill the sapper disarming the mine
If you opt to not hand-disarm, these mines are designed to be immune to remote methods like blasting
