If it's an anti-tank mine then it's probably an explosively formed penetrator (EFP) designed to puncture armor. If that's the case most of the force was centered around that penetrator, the blast was more of a secondary effect.

How on earth didn't they see the mine?

Maybe from the angle close to the ground it isn't as obvious? I dunno but I also saw it clear as day

That's what I was going to say lmao.

You literally could see the mine the entire time!
