I'm sure all mine clearing equipment has its strengths and weaknesses, and a "massive armored vehicle" with a plow is no different.

What I'm not seeing many of is a small maneuverable vehicle that can go into the treelines and take out the antipersonnel mines and cluster munitions.

There are a few in development like the Iron Caterpillar but not nearly enough to make the treelines safe for civilians.
