Well, I figured it was obviously an Abrams tank, with the land mine exploder feature out front, and that I didn't need to caption it at all. Just the image was all I wanted to convey, as someone already painted "Symphony of Destruction" the title to Megadeath's biggest hit song from the 1980s big hair era. That summed it all up, and I felt all I needed, and all I wanted to do, was post the photo and move on
Actually it may not have been a minesweeper per se, but to find roadside IED's that could be triggered remotely which explains why the metal wheels could be spread out to cover both side of the road at the same time.
It's used for clearing minefields.
