minus-squarecows_are_underrated@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·1 day agoAccording to wikipedia The border between Poland and Russia is 232km long. So one million mines spread out over 232 km would come down to one mine ever 23cm. So yeah, this is a lot.

minus-squareTheoriginalthon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·2 days agoAssuming Belarus and russian (kilingrad) borders 626km in length, assume 1 km deep 626km^2, million/626= 1597 Then 1km2/ 1597 = 626 So 1 in every 20x30m space If only 500m deep then one every 20x15m That about the size of a house and garden
