So far, no single de-mining method works best under all circumstances in all types of terrain. That’s why multiple technologies are helpful and some tools are used in conjunction with others.
Even the mighty machines that dig and flail don’t necessarily bring total clearance of landmines. For example, a D-2 Digger run can guarantee only 95-99% clearing. Additional de-mining by manual de-miners is needed. The second pass will be easier, of course. If both D-2 and manual passes are done correctly, the result will be 100% clearance.

I think perhaps rows of rollers launched upwind across fields etc., could work better.

But…. I still prefer the tank with the spinning flails mounted out the front.

That is thoroughly thorough against all mines.

– How many mines did it blow up so far?
– And if it did, what happened to the GPS device
– How does it upload the data. Afganistan is not San Francisco

Basically, nice to see some fresh ideas but this thing is not going to stamp out any mines. Unless you know it is there and you drop it on top in which case a brick will do the trick too.
