Translation:

The occupiers densely mined the fields in the Zaporizhzhia region

TM-62 anti-tank mines are installed in a checkerboard pattern with an interval of just one meter from each other.

Can cluster bombing the entire field detonate all of the mines to clear the path? Might take a lot of bombs but it's gotta be faster than de-mining by hand.

I think that there's a 5% failure rate of cluster bombs. So if you drop a few, there will be a few UXOs still laying around.

Best bet is to use a MICLIC or those mine sniffing rats.

Yes, and there's a reason the recommended placement distances, if one of these goes off it's going to sympathetically setoff others.

The easy way is det cord jammed into defused grenades to make a ghetto mclc and well bravery mixed with a bit of stupidity wouldn't hurt.

That was my initial thought as well. Or if you needed a clear path across, specifically bomb one out so you could be sure you aren't walking through that. I have no idea how practical that would be though.
