how is that an epic fail? isnt that one of those thingys that bust up land mines?
^^ What purpose would such a machine serve? Beating down brush? That would definitely ruin an enemy's day though...
Is it some sort of experimental weapon?

Those flails are indeed for clearing personnel mines, or tank mines, but those will stop the tank until the flails are repaired, IIRC.
The frails are made of chain so they don't get blown off they just get moved around by the explosion, so they just keep moving forward in the mine field!! And I get the epic frail!!
