Mines in arctic warfare?

[Martin Volkmann <volkmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks:

I have some questions about the use of anti-personnel mines (like
Claymores) in arctic warfare.
How are they affected by snow, humidity, and temperature?
Can the mines be protected from the climate?
Which is the most sensitive part of the mine relative to the cold
environment?

I need some boundary conditions for a safe function and perhaps
malfunction percentages if the actual parameters cross these
boundaries.

Thanks in advance :-)

Martin
