How do you see landmines?

I'm trying to learn the game before I jump into multiplayer, but I keep getting blown up by landmines in the campaign (very early on, after your friend gets blown up). Thing is, I can never see them beforehand - any tips?

You just need a mine detector in your inventory. Then you gonna see red triangles above every mine in your area.

Oh great, thanks that helps. I eventually made it past that point and now have a mine detector. Do I need to do anything to engage it, or is it always on? Thanks again, comrade.

I think its always on.

There is a new update coming sometime in September. I think you might need to show a display to see where the mines are at. It will work somewhat similar to the radar when flying a jet or helicopter. It will always be on though and you will still see the triangles but you can't tell what mine it actually is until you bring up the radar. Red dots with 2 spikes sticking out = AP Mine | Plain red dots = AT Mine | Red dots with the letters "UXO" = Unexploded Ordnance (Caused by cluster bomblets failing to detonate).
