He knows what Alpha Patriots long for in close quarters. fragMasterFlash (7) Funniest 4 hours ago The giant Hummer EVs are so huge that people driving them can't see compact cars in the lane next to them and I'm seeing more and more cut-em-off near-collision incents on my commute every week. Mind how you go if you have to pass one in traffic. MurphyMurphy (9) Funniest 4 hours ago You can ride this into combat. I'll walk. (11) Funniest 4 hours ago Wow. Why not just paint "SHOOT / BOMB HERE" in big letters on the... Well you can't even write anything on the side because THERE IS NONE. (18) Funniest 4 hours ago FTA "In their place: a range of vehicles and drones that can be fielded quickly, and, in many cases, with commercial, off-the-shelf technology." Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian military have been changing how wars are and will be fought. But I'm confident at least one American tradition will live on: Defense contractors will charge $500,000 for a $5,000 drone hubiestubert (8) Funniest 3 hours ago Is it just me, or does this look less like a 'dune buggy' than a 'outrageously elongated golf cart'? I'm wondering how the troops are going to feel being exposed pretty much their entire trip. In the Blackhawk going to the fight, in the Stretch Golf Cart, and then running to their objective, and having to run back because their exfil strategy is to back to an unarmored vehicle, under fire. "We'll buy something else," is pretty much reassurance to the defense industry, that they can keep their Humvee replacements in their bid cabinets for when troops get tired of getting shot up in unarmored seats.

A heavily armored humvee is what I would consider the base level of protection an infantryman needs. And the humvee is a piece of shiat. How many of these things do you think a Stryker could drive over and crush before it had to maybe change a tire? vudukungfu (1) Funniest 3 hours ago Golf cart for the waddling fools brigade Private_Citizen (10) Funniest 2 hours ago Lot of people doubting these things, but there is HUGE precedent: Small, fast, reliable, easily repaired and easy to arm. hubiestubert (1) Funniest 2 hours ago Private_Citizen: Lot of people doubting these things, but there is HUGE precedent: [Fark user image 584x330] Small, fast, reliable, easily repaired and easy to arm. ...and ever so...frangible.

The original GP-1 was a smaller version of that. The thing in TFA looks like a stripped down APC.

Also much more heavily armored than the tacti-cool golf cart in TFA. You know, what with the Hilux having doors and all. (1) Funniest 32 minutes ago So, how will this affect fashions here at home? Instead of tailgating regular citizens in their plush jacked-up Monster Trucks and Hummers (tricked out with obligatory LED lightbars and Punisher decals), will our domestic urban warriors have to start showing their solidarity with our Brave Boys by cruising around in stripped down junkers? gameshowhost (2) Funniest 31 minutes ago "The longer you sit and the slower you are, the easier it is to kill you," I dunno.

(3) Funniest 32 minutes ago Eh, lot of disliking of this truck going on in this thread. The article is light on the actual tactical use of this vehicle. It depends on the type of conflict they're aiming for. Another conflict like Afghanistan or Iraq? This will be useless (though czech and special forces utilized vehicles like this very effectively). This is obviously geared towards near peer conflicts and based on tactics seen in the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine. It's a battle taxi, it's used for getting troops between rear echelon and where the fighting is. The heavy vehicles will still be in the front with tanks and APCs, this is just to get supporting elements to areas where they can maneuver up to those areas. Slow and heavy vehicles moving forward make excellent targets for artillery and/or manpads. These aren't for assaulting positions. They're for getting assault forces from point A to .9B in areas that are already secured and the risk is indirect fire, not small arms or mines. (2) Funniest 31 minutes ago So are they going to go into combat with their foot hanging out like a jeep driver? (2) Funniest less than a minute ago Huh. That kind of looks like a puma. But where's the big turret on the back? "What the hell is a puma?" "It's like a big cat." "Stop making up animals!" gameshowhost (0) Funniest less than a minute ago hey, shared parts!
