'abhängigen Minen'

Post by jpz4 » 08 Jan 2021 20:28

Hello,
I recently came across the term 'abhängige Minen' and am trying to determine the exact meaning. After do some more searching I get the impression it refers to 'remote controlled mines', can someone confirm this? (Or provide another meaning)n :wink:

Here's one example of how the term is being used:
