Special steel tractor wheel designed for a mine clearing tractor that can withstand anti-personnel mine detonations.
These are based on the pretty cool LOCOSTRA (low-cost tractor) design by Italian micro-manufacturer Pierre Trattori.
The tractor comes with a remote control for obvious reasons.

"Iran images appear to show land mines scattered by U.S. forces, a first in years
The land mines were photographed outside Shiraz, a city located about three miles from one of several nearby Iranian ballistic missile sites.
Images posted to social media Thursday show what experts said are U.S. land mines dispersed across a residential area in southern Iran, in what appears to be the first instance in more than two decades of American forces using the weapons.
The photos show American BLU-91/B anti-tank land mines, which are released from an aircraft as part of the Gator mine scattering system, according to four munitions experts who reviewed the imagery at The Washington Post’s request. The United States is the only party in the Iran war known to possess the system.
The land mines were photographed outside the city of Shiraz, around three miles from one of several nearby Iranian ballistic missile sites. Mobile launchers are often positioned near such sites to access missiles, and the land mines could have been intended to make it more difficult to do so, experts said."

#Landmines are one of the biggest scourges of modern warfare. They create so much civilian damage long after the #conflict ends.
Fast pre-hospital treatment of landmine injuries is needed to save lives and, where possible, limbs.
The key to such treatment is education and training. Building a local community of first responders with the necessary skills to act quickly in the treatment of landmine injuries is essential.

Thinking of the people's in #DonetskPeoplesRepublic who are reportedly having to deal with petal size #landmines being spread across their land.
Two people have been injured recently, including one aid worker who came to help another.
Ukraine signed a treaty in the 90s that they will not use these #weapons. While these particular mines may not kill a person they often blow their foot off.
Stop feeding #weaponsIndustry. Stop this.
