− '''Command-Detonated Mines''' are [[landmine]]s which are detonated by radio signals from an operator rather than autonomously, meaning they cannot be accidentally detonated while being laid and allow for target discretion. While technically these mines can be detonated from any distance, even orbit, it is usually preferable to have forces in the area to ensure correct detonation; in addition, the operator must maintain line-of-sight with the mines in order to trigger them. Instead of triggering each individual mine, all mines within a given 25-meter area are detonated at once to completely saturate the location, although this also eliminates that section of the minefield.<ref>''A Time of War'', p. 277</ref><ref>''Lostech'', p. 38</ref><ref>''Tactical Operations'', p. 209</ref><ref>''Tactical Operations'', p. 365</ref> + '''Command-Detonated Mines''' are [[land mine]]s which are detonated by radio signals from an operator rather than autonomously, meaning they cannot be accidentally detonated while being laid and allow for target discretion.
