Underwater Conflict Behind Naval Mines
Naval mines are among the oldest types of naval weaponry used in deterrence operations and to obstruct navigation. They cause damage to ships and result in significant economic losses, especially in sensitive areas such as the Strait of Hormuz. Historically, they have been used since the 14th century by China, and over the centuries, they have evolved to include various types such as sweeping mines, contact mines, bottom mines, and smart mines. Currently, advanced technologies are employed to detect and disarm them, yet their use remains a significant threat to international navigation and maritime security. Despite efforts by countries to develop detection and destruction systems, incidents of explosions and vessel damage caused by mines still occur in hotspot regions, particularly in the Strait of Hormuz.
