Mine Exploder T10 pic

[GoldComet6]

Have you ever seen one of these before? Just thought I'd share this picture. Bet it's an impressive sight in person!

The photo is from United States Tanks of World War II, by George Forty.

The test says...
Mine Exploder T10. This strange looking remotely controlled mine exploder device initially comprised three roller units in a articulated tricycle layout which was controlled from a following tank. This was then modified so that the tricycle unit was powered and driven from an M4 hull and turret, as shown. It proved too unwieldy and was cancelled in late 1944.

Yep that one failed and so did these from the opposing side

Always liked the crab (flail). Could imagine how devistating to morale that could be against under equipped infantry. Unfortunately it seems there was always plenty of panzerfausts, shaped charges, panzerschrecks, or AT guns.

That link CARNAC mentioned is interesting, have you seen the Krupp Räumer S ? That thing looks like its a model right out of Star Wars!
