Star Wars Like Weapon.

Did any of you guys see this strange thing?

Fox news reported it is being used in Afghanistan to move supplies. I wonder if they have a more advanced version tucked away some place fully loaded. Thousands of these with mounted machine guns and rockets moving towards me would make run.

 

Hell--Ewoks can take that thing out with rocks and ropes

 

That's pretty cool. What is the potential military advantage of using 4 legs as opposed to treads?

 

It can climb up steep mountains without roads and blow up the enemy? The Fox News article said it was just being used to supply troops where trucks can reach.

 

It's not fully field ready yet though.......saw a FutureWeapons segment on it once.

 

It's weird how naturally it moves.

Pretty awesome

 

too noisy

 

Another waste of taxpayers dollars.

Imagine how much body armor could be purchased instead.
