Russia is at the point where it’s more economical and more effective to mobility kill a vehicle than destroy it. Getting rid of it takes more material on your side, and makes it easier and faster to replace because they can just buy another. Repairing a broken vehicle, you have to either tow it out or have it repaired on-site, with an operation that might take a couple of guys to do and MORE equipment that you can take out with the saved explosive from the other half of the mine.
It feels weird, but it’s classic attrition warfare.

But you don’t need entire antitank mine to get complete disassembly of a truck
