I don't know much about mines but with like gps and drones and shit, wouldn't mines that don't do anything until someone sets em off remotely work pretty good? You'd need a guy watching the mines for the right people to blow up pass by if they do but they pay people to watch monitors all the time anyway
(been a bit since I checked my replies)
That's just a command detonation explosive then. The purpose of large belts of landmines as in (100 meter long by 50 meter wide belts that will have hundreds of mines) are meant to be seen by opposing forces to stop or turn their path of travel where artillery, airstrikes and ambushes can do the work. That a mine in a belt knocks out a vehicle or kills personnel is a secondary purpose.
