Hey, Finns got experience dealing with (stepping in) land mines in the only war they won - the Lapland War! Have not heard of it? Of course not, they fought it against the Nazis (because the Soviet Union made them)!
Does the Winter War not count as a Finnish victory?

Landmines just straight up suck
Agreed. Start mining the border.
