A mobile equipment for detonating explosives comprising:
- a supporting structure configured to link to a front of a motorized vehicle;
- said supporting structure consisting of a front part with a transversally arranged beam comprising a length and a substantially longitudinal rear part configured to link, via an end, to said vehicle and being integral, through its other end, with said transversally arranged beam;
- and
- activating devices for activating said explosives, said activating devices comprising a mass decoy device mounted on said transversally arranged beam and configured to activate the explosives by pressure sensors, wherein:
- said activation devices further comprise a mechanical decoy device and an electrical thermal decoy device configured to activate the explosives by wire, antenna sensors, or by infrared sensors;
- said mechanical decoy and thermal decoy devices are mounted on said transversally arranged beam of said supporting structure;
- and
- said transversally arranged beam is at least as wide as said vehicle and said mechanical decoy device extends the length of the beam so as to define a protective front for the vehicle.
