Battlefield 2 AT Mine
After the tank's apperance in WWI, the landmine was developed to counter its effectiveness and dominance on the battlefield. The weapon proved a success during that war and it was further innovated during WWII, when millions of mines were planted on various European and North African battlefields. Modern landmines are smaller, lighters, and technologically superior to these older models, and they can be set to immobilize a tank or vehicle or completely destroy it. To comply with international treaties, most possess self-destruct or self-neutralization features in order to prevent friendly and non-combatant casualities. Landmines are emplaced by vehicle-mounted launchers, or dopped by helicopters or fixed wing aircraft. More radical innovations will be added to landmines in the future.
These includes sensors that will allow mines to determine that type and direction of the enemy vehnicle and direction of the enemy vehicle and electronic countermeasures to ensure survivability against enemy countermine operations. Uncharted landmines cause nearly 26,000 non-combatant casualties each year. Despite advances in mine-detecting technology, many governments are still searching for more accurate methods in locating these mines.
