An entire Chinook can land in your minefield and nothing explodes?

You're doing it wrong

The report does seem to rephrase it as 'near' to a minefield. Might have a bit of an effect if it's 100 yards away for example.

Downdraft from a Chinook is pretty severe. You wouldn't want to come down near a field of bounding mines for example.
