Hello all,
I saw a photo of such a vehicle, which was said to have been at the Paddy's Day parade. Never knew the PDF had such a device! Anyone got any gen about it?
regards
GttC
that is the one that was on show during the parade.
An army is power. Its entire purpose is to coerce others. This power can not be used carelessly or recklessly. This power can do great harm. We have seen more suffering than any man should ever see, and if there is going to be an end to it, it must be an end that justifies the cost.Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain
Doesn't look like an Aardvark.... "Small african mammal with a protruding nasal implement"
NTM
I think it has more to do with, the way an Aardvark hunt's, it uses it's snout/ sticky tongue to get at ant's underground, like the flail would get to mines....and if you look, it seem's to have a long nose infront of the cabin

Apparently they're slowly being made redundant by smartarses being deviously fiendish with their mine laying.
For example, Aardvark goes into field to clear anti-tank mines. Mines flail and sets off anti tank mine. However there is a remote wire going from the detonated mine to another one which is buried deeper and thereby unaffected by the flails. Bye bye aardvark.

Might depend on the perceived use. Any obstacle-clearing operation doctrinally requires overwatch and obscuration. In conventional battle, lots of smoke should stop anyone from correctly timing a remote-detonation. In peacekeeping situations, there shouldn't be a problem with a couple of squads of infantry pulling local security to keep the trigger men far enough away that they won't get the timing right.
