Weapons of the future - ground warfare

I love this kind of out of the box thinking for warfare in the future.

Love the ATV deposited weapon system.
Our military needs some of this kind of stuff.
Forget the $68k coffee makers and toilets....

Hmmm the Krauts had a similar anti tank "miracle" weapon at the close of WW2.

Been posted and discussed before.
The "inventor" has no idea how munitions work, but I love that he used all American airplanes to deploy the toys.

This same genius also "invented" a drive-thru supermarket, and a 5-axis CNC mill that fits in your mouth.

I love the rumble of that big diesel in the Abrams. Did I need that in green?

Interesting video but battles like that are a thing of the past. Imagine being presented with multiple hard targets like that on the ground.
That's a commanders wet dream.
... and what happens after the conflict? All that tech just sitting on the battlefield waiting to be picked up and copied/re-purposed.

The R-R getting it at the end seems cool but it would be much easier and cheaper to hit it with a smart weapon from a Drone.

Drones are really were it's at right now.
