Unless the drone mine gets hacked. It might even have a protocol to shield itself from a fuel-air bomb, which is a common form of mass-mine detonation.

I've never heard of a fuel-air bomb used for demining... APOBS is used a lot, and no matter how clever the mine is - it can't ignore a chain of explosives going off on top of it.
