I never understood why they couldn't use flail tanks? Were they that ineffective on D-Day?

Working in collaboration with Professor Nonami's team, Fuji Heavy hasdeveloped a wide variety of mine clearing robots, some of which the company hopes will see service in Afghanistan...
...and all of which have fitted with big fat after market exhausts, knock links and dawes devices.
