Abstract

The mine warfare in the 20th century has a history of near hundred years, related with countless military conflicts all over the world. As it is documented, the first systematic and large-scale application of mines took place during the siege of the Russian Army by Japanese at Port Arthur and Mukden in 1904. There the protection of Russian trenched positions by minefields with electric ignition was responsible for the major part of the near 120,000 casualties from the Japanese side [48].
