CHINA'S NEW MINESWEEPING ROBOT HAS AN EXPLOSIVE SURPRISE

Chinese combat engineers have a new mine clearing robot that's going to accompany troops onto the battlefield. While many other nations have built mine sweeping robots, such as the U.S.'s Panther (an unmanned M60 tank chassis with chainlink flails), this new robot is actually armed with exploding mine clearing line charges (MCLC). Imagine it a bit like a rocket-armed R2-D2 or BB-8.
