If you want to test it, I posted about a year ago, that any weapon 20mm or larger will clear mines, it is just a matter of how many rounds you want to fire.

Around 81mm you get about one mine killed per round fired into the hex. Larger rounds will kill more and more often, smaller rounds may take 5-6 shots to kill one mine.

You can look at it that the engineers that are firing the FT into the hex are really using a bangalore torp and the FT firing is just an abstraction.
