Trojan AVRE in Helmand, Afghanistan MOD 45151228
The Trojan AVRE (Armoured Vehicle Royal Engineers) is a modern and capable vehicle crewed by three personnel.
On 15th February 2010 the Royal Engineers fired their latest weapon in their battle against the Taliban for the first time – an exploding hose which punches safe passage through suspected IED belts.
The Python rocket is a trailer-mounted, rocket-propelled mine-clearing system pulled behind the Trojan armoured engineer tank. The Python system fires a snake of high explosives.
The detonation, across a suspected IED field in a dry river bed – wadi – north of Patrol Base Wahid, shook the ground either side of the detonation, and created a huge cloud several hundred metres high.
