That type of mine self-clears in a few weeks, to at most a couple of months. They are a temporary choke point movement denial tool. They have use, but they won't turn the tide of the conflict.
America does not field mines for war use that are not self-clearing. We have some that are static, but those are used on U.S. soil or bases for defense only, and rare.
We have signed a number of treaties about never using anything but self-clearing mines in warfare.
I worked for years in clearing old land mine fields for the farmers in old war zones. Very dangerous work.
