Translation:

The occupiers densely mined the fields in the Zaporizhzhia region

TM-62 anti-tank mines are installed in a checkerboard pattern with an interval of just one meter from each other.

Can cluster bombing the entire field detonate all of the mines to clear the path? Might take a lot of bombs but it's gotta be faster than de-mining by hand.

I think that there's a 5% failure rate of cluster bombs. So if you drop a few, there will be a few UXOs still laying around.

Best bet is to use a MICLIC or those mine sniffing rats.
