The Aardvark landmine clearance system is one bad machine! More than one, actually, as there are different models. The rotating chain technology reminds me of a bush hog, but on a much grander scale. Push play or go to YouTube. Link to product information.
What an awesome piece of machinery. They should really take that thing to some 3rd world countries (and others) that are having problems with land mines.
Interesting. I'm sure they had something like this in use during World War 2. I'm no expert, but they are included in the game Company of Heroes, and that game is an accurate simulation of the war.
And yes, that narrator is very annoying, we all knew that nothing was going to happen to him, stop hyping it up! XD
But our corporate America makes much gold from making mines and cluster-bombs to sell to any & all. Then on into the hands of a corporate-owned Congressman. The misery of innocent people doesn't matter, as long as the rich get richer!!
Owen you are a cunt. I watched the same show and was totally stoked that such a machine exists. There is hope for all those innocent farmers looking for land to till and kids looking to play soccer. So Owen go fuck yourself mate you are the ultimate wanker!!!
ITS NOT ABOUT SAVING LIVES AS SAVING LIMBS. I HAVE BEEN TO CAMBODIA AND SEEN KIDS WITH NO LEGS BECAUSE THEY TRIED TO PLAY SOCCER IN AN OPEN FIELD. ANYBODY WHO DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE TO HELPING RID THIS WORLD OF LANDMINES IS A PRICK AND SHOULD BE MADE TO WALK IN THESE FIELDS!
SORRY EVERYONE, APPARENTLY I AM TOO PASSIONATE ABOUT PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, GETTING THEIR LEGS BLOWN OFF. MY OPPOLOGIES FOR THE PROFANE LANGUAGE. I AM JUST A CANADIAN WHO CARES AND REALLY WANTS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT LANDMINES AFTER SEEING THE HORRIFIC RESULTS OF KIDS LOOKING FOR A NEW SOCCER FIELD AND LOSING THEIR LIMBS IN THE PROCESS. I AM WILLING TO PUT MY OWN MONEY UP TO TRY AND STOP THIS HORROR ANYONE ELSE HAVE THE BALLS TO HELP? EMAIL ME AT dalefloyd@hotmail.com IF YOU CARE.

perhaps we (the US) should pony-up part of the solution. 10 Aardvark's could clear up most of Israel's leftover land mines in about 3 months.
How much do they cost?
I expect to hear a bit of whining about it's not us. Maybe we can balme Clinton! Just when do we start to take responsibility for our actions?
