第二次世界大战期间,因地雷而损失的坦克大约占坦克损失总量的20％; 而在山区(例如意大利),这个比例提高到30％;在大量使用装甲战车的大规模进攻作战(例如在库尔斯克战役)中,这个比例高达40％。在朝鲜和越南战争中, 因地雷威胁所造成的损失比例更是达到大约70％。同样,由地雷造成的人员伤亡的百分比也在持续上升,从第二次世界大战中的2％提高到朝鲜战争中的10％直至越南战争中的30％。 During World War II, tanks lost due to landmines account for about 20% of total tank losses, while in mountainous areas (eg Italy) the proportion is increased to 30%. In large-scale offensive operations involving the heavy use of armored combat vehicles (For example in the Battle of Kursk), up to 40%. In the Korean and Vietnamese wars, the proportion of losses caused by the threat of landmines even reached about 70%. Similarly, the percentage of casualties caused by landmines also continued to rise, from 2% in World War II to 10% in the Korean War to 30% in the Vietnam War.
