๐ฅ In Ukraine, a kamikaze ground robot was created for the Armed Forces: how it is used by the military
Brave1 developers have created a new technology for the Ukrainian military - the ground-based kamikaze robot Ratel S. It allows you to hit enemy targets from a safe distance.
This kamikaze robot is capable of carrying anti-tank mines or a combat module at a speed of 24 km/h. In addition, it can travel a distance of 6 km and remotely blow up an enemy tank or dugout.
I believe it's still better than mining fields which would kill civilians in peace time afterwards.
It's possible that Ukraine is using Russian mines that they've removed from fields. If so, it'd be the opposite.
Mines are cheap enough. Also, don't they detonate the mines to clean them? Basically all mine clearance videos I've seen in my life detonated the mines.
Could be. I've seen video of someone in Vietnam clearing mines, and they just did it with a knife. Didn't detonate the thing.
I'd assume that anti-tank mines, unless they have anti-handling mechanisms designed to target people disarming them, probably won't go off on a person.

You are right.
