KMT 5 M
The KMT-5M is a Soviet Union, Soviet tank mounted mechanical mine clearing device in the KMT series that is designed to disable anti-tank mines by plowing up or mechanically breaking them from the lines in front of tank tracks. It was first introduced in the 1960s. The device can be mounted to T-54/55, T-62 and T-64 tanks.

It was however recently copied by the Romanians in their D-5M mine clearing system.
