I remember in WWII there were these anti-mine tank attachments. They extended some distance in front of the tank and were wider than the tank itself.
At the very front were these weighted balls on chains sort of like a mace and they spun. Reminded me of farm equipment. Anyway, they spun, hit a mine,
explode, chains would get replaced and the tank would continue on its on way. Granted moving behind one of these would be slower than just cruising
along but it would be safer.
There must be a reason why the military's of the world have opted to just drive into them and explode rather than use this method.
Mine Flails
Mine Roller
Granted, I dont know anything at all about these things or the IED's they see over there everyday.
