All post that I see show that the current mines are moored cabling, not chain. I understand that Iran used them in the mid-80's and Iraq again in the mid-90's, but they can't afford the newer technology mines. The whole point of the ASW mines are so that the OPFOR won't detect it before it either explodes or launches a MK46 at them.
