If you’re going to hack a landmine to disable it then the same end result occurs. The landmine is no longer dangerous and the original comment is scaremongering. Either it’s hacked to be disabled to help the Russians or it can’t be hacked and will be disabled when the defenders want to. Both cases end in disarming. The worst would be if they somehow cannot be disabled, but even then, tracking systems have massively improved since the horrors of the past. They’d know exactly where they are and those countries are rich enough to get rid of them with equipment. The worst cases have occurred from invading countries placing landmines in locations that the eventual citizens are in danger from them.
In any case, the linked post was clearly being brigaded by tankies thinking that Russia can hack anything.
I have my doubts about these landmines in the first place, but I intenionally ignored them to focus on the premise in the title. The idea that front-line mil-tech is all that secure is just NCD leaking.
