Mine-clearing line charge

A mine-clearing line charge (abbreviated MCLC or MICLIC; pronounced /mɪk.lɪk/ or "mick-lick") is a device used to create a breach in minefields under combat conditions.

While there are many types, the basic design is for many explosive charges connected on a line to be projected onto the minefield and then exploded, detonating any buried mines, thus clearing a path for troops to cross.

The tube and rocket were mounted in a Universal Carrier which had been stripped out to reduce it down to an armoured tracked trailer that could be towed by a tank, often a Churchill AVRE.

There have been reports of Russian forces using the UR-77 Meteorit MICLIC systems in Syria as offensive weapons to destroy buildings during urban fighting.
