17. Mines are funny little things, they do have lots of possible settings

Like they can be set to blow up on a certain number of ships passing. Like say don't blow up until 20 ships have passed, or just ignore smaller ships. They can also be set to try to target a specific ship or class of ship for the more technical advanced countries. Like there are some that are basically a torpedo that can listen by sonar for say a ship with 2 props turning a certain speed.

But no once set they can not remotely turn them on, and most have a self shutdown that is measured in days or weeks. Most countries know if they mine somewhere, at some point they will need the same water ways, so they build in that safety.
