M58 MICLIC

[1][2][3] First fielded in 1988 with United States Army Europe,[4] the MICLIC is a cable fitted with explosive charges.

Drawn by a rocket into a minefield, the cable lands in a straight line and detonates, destroying conventionally fuzed land mines in a lane eight meters wide and 100 meters long (8.75 yards by 109 yards).

[7] The line charge is 350 feet (107 meters) long and contains 5 pounds (2.27 kg) per linear foot of C-4 explosive.

[2] If a MICLIC fails to detonate normally, it can be manually activated by time-delay fuses every few feet along its length.

[10] On January 17, 2024, a video purported to show a Russian munition dropping from a drone to destroy an M58 MICLIC system and the MaxxPro MRAP that was towing it.
