Simple yet effective

Context: During the Continuation War, the Finnish Army discovered that the retreating Soviets had scattered radio-controlled mines throughout the re-captured city of Viipuri. These mines were set off when a three-note chord was played on the frequency the radio was tuned to; each mine had three tuning forks that oscillated at specific frequencies unique to each mine. On September 1, the General Staff in Vyborg received one broadcast van from Yleisradio, capable of transmitting over the frequency used by the mines. The car in question was a REO 2L 4 210 Speedwagon taken from Nuijamaan auto Oy. The car was used by N. Sauros. Säkkijärvi polkka was present among the vans record collection and to prevent the enemy from operating the mines, they started playing the Säkkijärvi polkka without any pauses. The frequency over which the triads (three chords) were sent out was jammed by the interference, preventing detonation. On September 4, it was noticed that Soviet troops were continuously transmitting the triggering triads on the same transmission frequency. The broadcast of Säkkijärven polkka continued for three days until another car was sent from Aunus to Vyborg The anime girl is a character from the anime Girls Und Panzer who played Säkkijärvi polkka in the anime.

How Chad cleared mines during the Chadian-Lybian war:  If you drive fast enough, they dont trigger, or explode behind you. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_War How Iran  cleared mines in the Iran-Iraq war:  If you send waves of ~~children~~ volunteers running across the minefield, those in front become martyrs, and those behind can reach the enemy lines. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-34353349

Seems a weird dig at Britain since they didn’t just heavily use tank based mine clearing, but literally invented it.
