Humans still like being gophers in war zones. What sort of accoutrements would you pick for tunnel rat activities in the present day?

A micro drone, a remote robot, and a relay/control station at the tunnel entrance.  Micro drone scouts ahead for the robot.  Robot is equipped with anti personnel weaponry and image processing for the drone.  Both are linked in real time, via the basestation, with an overhead drone equipped with ground penetrating munitions.

I'll press the fire button

ETA

Bonus points if the engineer designs the robot as the launch pad for multiple drones

I like the idea of a gasoline tanker truck and a road flare or a concrete transit mix truck.   There are some cool pic from WWII in the pacific where they had tanker trucks dumping gasoline down the holes and then torching them off.

Yup.

But I don't know how easy those are to make over in the middle east.

Furthermore, I believe that the correct chemical agent will contaminate the water trap, and thus anyone who comes through it.  A persistent agent will linger on the walls of the tunnels for a long ass time, so even if the water in the water trap doesn't contaminate someone, if they come out they'll get a dose.

You can follow up the the Phosgene,Chlorine,VX,Sarin,Tabun,Soman (GD's official nerve agent.  I lolled but I realize nobody here is going to get that unless they're in the chemical corps.) and mustard gas combo with a healthy dose of Mk84 to collapse the tunnels for all I care.

All I care about is killing as many of the enemy as possible while taking as few friendly casualties as possible.

If cost is an issue. Burn them out or gas them.

If not thermobaric that fucker ..suck their lungs out.
