Claymore mines now have eyes

The problem with anti-personnel landmines lies in the fact that it is unable to tell the difference between the footfall of an actual combatant or a child. The Claymore mine is a fearsome weapon indeed, but they now have been imbued with modern technology that could go a long way in preventing unwanted deaths or maiming of innocent civilians. The Macroswiss Claymore Camera is a video camera attached to the Claymore itself, sending information to a remote receiver via a cable system for the operator to monitor events in front of the mine, detonating it in the presence of an enemy threat while letting innocents walk past by unharmed. Good to see the Army is taking initiatives to reduce collateral damage, which is always a sore point in war.
