I understand. The rats are only used during peacetime mine clearing operations, and not by military operators. And a big reason I think they are used is because they are cheap. IMO the best and safest way to clear mines in peacetime would be to use mine clearing vehicles with front mounted chain flails or with dragged sleds made from old tyres.
