That's not an anti-personnel mine, that's an anti-vehicle mine. Personnel mines are designed to maim not destroy because the other soldiers now need to provide aid to an immobilized member of their unit.
I thought it needed more weight to trigger, but there's probably more mine types in Ukraine than I can fathom.
Yeah, I should have said "probably not an anti-personnel mine". And like you said, there's probably so many more varieties of mines being laid than we can speculate on.
