ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Anti-tank mine

Okay kiddo, so imagine a treasure that you want to protect. But instead of putting a lock on it like we do with our piggy banks, we put a special kind of bomb called an anti-tank mine around it.

This special bomb is designed to blow up big things like tanks that the bad guys might use to try and take the treasure away. The anti-tank mine is buried in the ground and has a trigger that sets it off when something heavy like a tank drives over it.

When the trigger is set off, the anti-tank mine explodes and sends a big blast of fire and rocks flying into the air. This blast can severely damage or completely destroy the tank and keep the treasure safe!

Now, it's important to keep in mind that anti-tank mines are very dangerous and can hurt people too, especially innocent people who might accidentally step on one. So, it's really important to make sure we know where they are and try to make sure they aren't left lying around after a war is over.
