Description

"Unlike other minesweepers that depended on flails and wheels to trigger the mines, the Russian Progvev-T blasted mines with so much heat that they detonated on their own. Built on the base of a T-54, the Progvev-T looked more like a futuristic laser cannon than a tank.

Instead of using a normal cannon, it used the engine of a MiG-15 fighter jet to blast heat at potential minefields to clear them out. The 37-ton Progvev-T contained enough fuel to clear 6 kilometers (4 mi) of road.

It failed because it was too big and noisy to hide from the enemy. Also, the use of a heat cannon couldn’t ensure that every mine would be cleared from a minefield."
