To put it bluntly, it means reaching the end of the line.
So, how can one hold the line in such a situation?
Mines!
Exactly, the West Continent Group has always placed great importance on mines, especially anti-armor mines used against tanks.
Due to different tactical needs, the Tiaoman Empire and West Luosha chose two entirely different technical routes in developing anti-armor mines.
Tiaoman Empire's anti-armor mines focus more on deployment performance, making tactical use more flexible. For example, the MW-1 aerial dispenser carried by "Storm" fighters can be loaded with hundreds of anti-armor mines, and a "Storm" IDS can carry two on hardpoints under the fuselage. Just four "Storm" IDSs can deploy an anti-armor minefield across a 10-kilometer-wide defense line.
To enhance the tactical flexibility of mines, Tiaoman Empire also developed dual-use mines for both anti-armor and anti-personnel purposes.
