Keiler

Keiler mine flail is a mine-clearing vehicle developed by Rheinmetall in Germany to meet the requirements of the German Army. It is a conversion of the M48 Patton medium tank chassis in combination with a German MTU MB 871 Ka 501 liquid-cooled turbocharged Diesel engine. The main role of the Keiler vehicle is to clear a lane through minefields to ensure the safe passage of soldiers and vehicles. A deployable mine flail system has been fixed to the front of the vehicle, which is used to clear both anti-tank and anti-personnel mines. Between 1997 and 1998, 24 vehicles of this kind were produced for the German Army.
