What are the differences between the M15 AT MINE and the M2 SLAM

battlefield-4

On Battlelog if states:

M15 AT MINE

High Explosive Anti-Tank mine that detonates when vehicles pass by in close proximity. Capable of a Mobility Kill on even the heaviest armored vehicles.

M2 SLAM

Selectable Lightweight Attack Munition usable as either an off-route Anti-Tank mine or a traditional land mine. Blast damage is less than the M15, but is still capable of a Mobility Critical on heavily armored vehicles.

I read both of these but don't understand the main difference. It tells that the M15 does more damage but then why use the M2 SLAM. Help anyone?

From wiki:

Unlike Anti-tank mines the M2 SLAM can be thrown, and at a great distance

and

They only detonate when an enemy player is in the vehicle they are strapped to

So it seems that it can "stick" to a vehicle. And that you can throw it fairly far(not sure how far). For me(I didn't play BF4 yet), it looks like a C4 that can be thrown like a grenade that detonates when it's driven over by a vehicle or if it's stuck to the enemy vehicle.

Wiki also says that it takes 3 of M2 SLAMs to destroy any tank or LAV
