Electric Tanks?

Electric vehicles have a future in armies, especially when it comes to light vehicles. EVs have a lower heat signature. The Russian military is experimenting with using electric motorcycles that they are using in their storm trooper units. I am not very knowledgeable in this area but I have heard of weapons that take out electric devices.

Electric tanks would be less noisy and there would be less of a risk of a fire. I wonder how they manage this technologically. Have you seen a Tesla Truck trying to climb a hill? Have you seen Tesla on fire from a damaged battery? Mind you, these tanks will be hit with rockets and suicide drones flying at high velocity, and one would need to pack a shit loads of power to make this thing run.

At the end of the day, there are weapons coming out of research and development being introduced into production only to shine at one battlefield and totally suck at another. Also, war makes weapons quickly obsolete. Think Bayraktar, Javelin, or even HIMARS. Think of the horse in WWI…

PS: This allegedly is an electric off road bike from Kalashnikov…

Testudo Tanks

So I was wondering in my posts about drone (see here and here) what will the future of tanks be. We have seen countless of videos of FPV kamikaze drones slamming into military vehicles and doing incredible damage…

And the answer likely will be Testudo Tanks:

So called cope-nets or something of the kind will be seen more in future.

The above are two projects, a South Korean Armata and a new Bradley. Both as you can see have more armour.

A tank named Homosexual

Actually, Forbes fucked up in their reporting. The name of the tank was Gromozeka, which is this cartoon character:
