Valokuvagalleria FV3902 Churchill flail konas, A mine flail is a vehicle-mounted device that makes a safe path through a mine-field by deliberately detonating land mines in front of the vehicle that carries it. They were first used by the British during World War II. The mine flail consists of a number of heavy chains, ending in fist-sized steel balls, (flails) that are attached to a horizontal, rapidly rotating rotor mounted on two arms in front of the vehicle. The rotor’s rotation makes the flails spin wildly and violently pound the ground. The force of a flail strike above a buried mine mimics the weight of a person or vehicle and causes the mine to detonate, but in a safe manner that does little damage to the flails or the vehicle.

Lisätietoja:

The FV3902 Churchill Flail Toad was a British mine-clearing tank developed during the Second World War. It was based on the Churchill infantry tank and equipped with a rotating drum of chains that flailed the ground in front of it to detonate any hidden mines. The Toad was designed to clear a path for other vehicles and troops through minefields and obstacles. The Toad was first used in combat in 1944 during the Normandy campaign, where it proved effective in clearing lanes through German minefields. The Toad was also used in Italy and the Netherlands, and remained in service until the early 1950s.
