Arriving at Belmont station it was apparent that the Boers were in position on the range of Belmont Kopje behind the road to the North . Methuen directed the Guards Brigade to advance by way of a night approach march up to the Boer positions . Delays caused by agricultural fencing and defective maps found the Guards well short of the line of Kopjes at dawn .

Mine plow A mine plough ( plow in American English ) is a tank - mounted device designed to clear a lane through a minefield , allowing other vehicles to follow . Buried land mine s are ploughed up and pushed outside the tank ' s track path or tipped over . Since anti - tank mines rely on a concentrated explosion to destroy a tank , they are useless when turned upside - down ; as the tank runs over the mine , it will expend its blast down instead of upwards , causing insignificant damage , if any . Towards the end of the First World War , the French mounted a plough on their Renault FT - 17 tank . The first recorded combat use is by the British 79th Armoured Division , using a " Bullshorn " plow on a Churchill tank on Sword Beach during the Allied invasion of Normandy ( this was one of Hobart ' s Funnies ) . The " Bullshorn " was just one of various designs of plough that were tested and used by the British . The mine plough is still in use by many Combat Engineer units . The Royal Engineers have deployed the TROJAN to Afghanistan where it is usually fitted with a plow on the front , which enables it to clear mines , either detonating them on contact , or pushing them out of the way to clear a safe channel for following vehicles . Other similar devices are mine roller s and mine flail s .

Polikarpov ITP The Polikarpov ITP ( " Istrebitel Tyazholiy Pushechniy " ; ; Heavy Cannon Fighter ) was a Soviet fighter prototype designed during World War II . Development was prolonged by the evacuation of the design bureau forced by the German advance on Moscow in the fall of 1941 . By the time the second prototype was finished the Soviets had fighters with equivalent or better performance already in production and the program was cancelled . Development . In November 1940 , Nikolai Polikarpov proposed a heavy cannon - armed fighter for bomber escort duties and ground attack missions . The new ITP was designed around either the 1 , 230 kW ( 1 , 650 hp ) Klimov M - 107 P or the Mikulin AM - 37 inline engines . Two armament configurations were planned . The first consisted of a cannon firing through the propeller hub and two synchronized ShVAK cannon mounted on each side of the fuselage nose . The 37 mm cannon was provided with 50 rounds and the ShVAK had 200 rounds each . The second configuration substituted an additional ShVAK with 200 rounds for the 37 mm cannon . It had racks for eight unguided RS - 82 rocket s underneath the wings . The ITP was a low - wing , mixed construction monoplane with a wooden monocoque fuselage made from ' shpon ' , molded birch plywood . The two - spar metal wing was built in three sections with automatic leading edge slats . The engine radiators were built into the wing center section with intakes in the wing roots while the oil cooler was located under the engine . The curved , one - piece windshield lacked a flat front panel which gave the pilot a rather distorted view . The conventional undercarriage , including the tailwheel , was fully retractable . It carried of fuel in tanks between the spars of the wing center section . The rear fuselage , cockpit and tail resembled that of the Polikarpov I - 185 . The first ITP prototype ( M - 1 ) was completed in October 1941 with a M - 107P engine . Due to German attacks , the aircraft was evacuated to Novosibirsk and did not make its first flight until 23 February 1942 . The M - 107P engine proved unreliable and was changed to a M - 107A in late 1942 . The 37 mm gun was deleted in exchange for another 20 mm gun mounted on the side of the fuselage . Flight testing was not completed because the airframe was used for ground static testing , but the estimated maximum speed at was with a time to of 5 . 9 minutes . The second ITP prototype ( M - 2 ) was built in 1942 and fitted with a Mikulin AM - 37 engine which also proved unreliable and was replaced with a 1 , 345 kW ( 1 , 800 hp ) Mikulin AM - 39 that December . It first flew on 23 November 1943 but the manufacturer ' s flight tests were not completed until June 1944 . Since several other aircraft with about the same level of performance were already available , it was not placed into production .
