In accordance with the project of "Construction of Azerbaijan's Fuzuli International Airport", Aardvark Joint Service Flail Units - British-made mine flail vehicles have been purchased and brought to the area to accelerate the demining of the area, AzVision.az reports. 

The JSFU flail system was developed with the cooperation of Ford Motor Co, Basildon. George Sellar & Son owned a number of patents concerning the rotor and chain design and electronic depth contouring system and manufactured the flail assembly. 

Aardvark's Global business is managed from the UK with operational and training facilities in Dumfries in the Scottish Borders and Insch in Aberdeenshire. The company also has offices in Washington, USA and Riyadh, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Aardvark clearance machines have been used by the military, the UN, NGO's and other charitiable organisations for humanitarian mine clearance operations in Europe, Africa and in the Middle and Far East. Aardvarks have also been chosen by the British and American forces for landmine clearance in Afghanistan and Iraq.
