I wouldn't just be running around in that thick undergrowth like that dude does, that's for sure.

I think they are anti vehicle mines he might not be able to set them off with his weight alone.

Yea but who's to say that's the only type of mine there?

The Russians have been known to sprinkle anti-personnel mines all through these areas. Seems not in this case, but for me personally I would be as sceptical as you are.

Given the proximity the mines are put together, wouldn't they all chain explode when one of them detonates?

Never knew that mines would be put so close together!

After the war, we should send every single russian to go clean it up by hand.

Soviet Union was stockpiling weapons for the final showdown with the west through out the Cold War. Can't imagine how many of them were layed like this. Thousands, or even more than a million at that point?
