Yet this one doesn't work?

Probably because it only recognizes two genders...

lol. I thought the same thing!

Like I said, the electronics will continuously evolve and improve. I can see them putting a bunch of external cameras on it, linked to both AI and to a VR helmet for the human controller, which will eventually give them better awareness than conventional tank crews get.

The big thing is its light enough to GET to the fight, and has enough punch to do something effective.

Looks like a M113 with a modified ADATS turret.

Extra crispy BTR-80

I had an opportunity to inspect refurbished combat robots used in Iraq. They were used to find and destroy IED’s. They were apparently effective because they were retruned to USA for refitting and software up grades.

I’m no expert but seems to me a drone or two in the air and a tank on the ground would be a pretty good combo

Oopskie

I'm not familiar with that word and frankly it sounds gay.

[freedomlover]

Where is that from? I assume that was a mine? Maybe with a bit of accelerant next to it?

Not a war expert.

Its a Warsaw Pact vehicle looks to be disrupting a picnic in the park and the populace responded with a plethora of molotov cocktails.

"Looks like a M113 with a modified ADATS turret."

Yeah. It does, somewhat. I remember drill sergeants yelling at us to avoid hitting trees with M113s at the range that we used in initial training. ;-)

That’s good news, bert. I have a buddy who was pretty messed up by an IED, but he’s doing okay.
