|  | The Hotnotsgod was the first South African mine-clearing vehicle, and was an Armoured Mine-Detecting Clearing Vehicle used by the SA Engineers Corps. It was designed to detonate mines with its multiple sets of wheels. In suitable conditions it can push a set of 20 rakes, which penetrate the soil to a depth of 10 cm. In the event of a mine detonation, the wheels can be repaired in about 20 minutes. The vehicle can be operated by remote control in high-risk areas. Remote control is via cable link or by radio for distances up to 500m. Thirteen of the vehicles were purchased by the SADF in the 1970's Post your comments and feedback on the Hotnotsgod here... |
