The Landmine Economy: When $3 Weapons Cost $1,000 to Remove and Decades to Overcome

A landmine costs $3 to deploy. Removing it costs $300 to $1,000. Ukraine has 174,000 km² contaminated—clearance will take 757 years at current rates and cost $37+ billion. But removal cost is not the true price. Cambodia has lost $9-15 billion in agricultural production over 30 years from land too dangerous to farm. Afghanistan spends $250-300 million annually on demining—money that can't build schools or hospitals. This video examines why landmines are the most economically destructive weapon ever created: not because of immediate damage, but because they keep billing long after the war ends.
