Key Features:

• Advanced Mine-Clearing Technology: KraussMaffei engineers developed innovative equipment interface expansion devices, allowing Canada’s Leopard C2 tanks to seamlessly integrate bulldozer plows and mine clearing roller systems. The tank can select suitable mine-clearing equipment for various tasks, with the ability to operate it with the hatch closed.
• Armored Feeder Cables: The feeder cables used to control the minesweepers are protected by armor, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of mine-clearing operations.
• Full-Track Mine Clearing Plow: The kit includes a full-track mine clearing plow assembly developed by the RAMTA division of the Israel Aircraft Company. Capable of clearing anti-infantry and anti-tank mines within the width of the tracks, it offers three different mine clearance depths (200mm, 250mm, or 300mm). The plow creates a one-meter-wide path in front of each track, leaving a 1.5-meter-wide area between tracks for strategic maneuvers.
• “Dog Bone” Detonation System: A unique “dog bone” with a chain can be utilized in the unplowed area to detonate mines in advance, enhancing the safety of the mine-clearing process.
• Weight and Dimensions: The entire mine clearing plow weighs approximately 3 tons, showcasing the robust construction required for effective mine clearance.

Understanding Scale

The scale of a model is its size as a proportion to the real-life item. For instance, a 1:18 scale model means that every 1 unit of measurement on the model equals 18 units on the real item. If you divide the real item's size by 18, you'd get the size of the 1:18 model. Please note that models can vary slightly in size, as not all real-life items, like cars or planes, have the same dimensions.
