Re: Mines in arctic warfare?

["Matt_Da_Mann Lennane" <cheesebored@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting....

It depends on how long the mine's are left, on or near the surface, or are 
they placed on a ICE shelf, which moves.  basically they would act normally 
if the detenator hasn't frozen solid(If it's Mechanical) or the radio 
detenator should work, same with 'Clacker' or electical detenators, they 
should both work.

Basically these are educated guesses, I was only a Assault Pioneer with the 
Army, and we only use claymore in the Frozen environment, and some of the 
trip(Mechanical) systems froze so that sums up what I know.

I used powergel with steel fence posts, to make a bangalore torpedo once, in 
a cold enviroment(1 C), that still worked with a radio Det.

Anybody worked in the Arctic region(Royal Marines, etc).

Peace all.
