When the Gulf war started, the French army did not have any mineclearing tanks. In emergency, the AMX30B got a former East German KMT5 system. A remote control device was adapted to prevent the driver from being inside during the breaching operations. A total of 6 tanks were modified and issued to the 6th foreign legion engineer regiment. During the attack of the division Daguet, two groups of three tanks were organized to support the battalion task forces.
