How difficult is it to adapt a standard mine to be air-dropped? Could a standard mine be altered quickly or would a purpose built one be needed? If a purpose built mine is necessary, how much lead time is necessary? How hard would it have been for the Japanese to have built air-dropped mines of acceptable quality (ie. could sink a contemporary battleship, given luck) in the lead up to the Russo-Japanese war? How much would such a mine weigh?
