Works of the Third Assault Division in action. The same ones for which our collection is now announced.
Building a modern army is the key to victory and breaking the situation on the battlefield. After all, a small Soviet army can never be stronger than a large Soviet army. To beat the enemy, we must be more creative, more technological, smarter!
The fighters of the 3rd OSHbr know what they are doing, but they need support.

The Third Assault Brigade now needs all the support it can get. Let’s show the steel warriors on the front line that there is a single powerful rear behind them!
These guys need to watch Battlebots and learn what a self-righting mechanism is.
Also it needs to be wider to clear additional space for tanks and other military vehicles.
The explosion that flipped it was an anti-tank mine, which likely would render it unusable anyway. They have larger demining vehicles. This is an efficient device to clear paths for infantry or sappers.
Depends on what you want to use it for. For non-combat use, you’re right, it should be fine, and the operator can take time to manually flip it back over as needed.
But for combat use to prepare for a path for an assault, the operator doesn’t want to run out in the middle of a field to flip over a RC deminer because they have a good chance of being shot by the enemy, spotted and targeted by FPV drones, etc.
And given the density of minefields in this conflict, manually flipping the RC deminer after each and every anti-tank mine that it encounters would be both tedious and dangerous.
Also, this thing is mostly air where the flails meet the mines. If they could get the flail mechanism to be durable enough to survive a few mine strikes, and keep the drive and electronics sufficiently protected against large explosions.
Also, if they could make these things cheaply enough to where they could unleash hordes of these things to clear the minefield before an assault…
It’s a proof of concept… larger will come later. Also maybe these can help Infantry.
Make it so that it works upright or inverted. Then move the flails further away from the drive to improve survivability.
The mine flail remains my favorite de-mining strat. It isn’t as flashy as rocket-deployed line charges; instead it has a medieval flair to it that just makes them great.
As we say in Software Engineering : Keep It Simple and Small. Flails worked during WW2, it will still work now.
