Motorized vehicles like this MV-4 Mini Flail from Croatian company DOK-ING are sometimes used on known or suspected minefields to trigger mines by beating the ground. While dramatic in action, flails, tillers and similar heavy machinery typically have a success rate below that of a person teamed with a metal detector or dog.
