Crazily Brilliant Libyan Rebels Weld Tank Turret to Truck (And It Works!)

The Libyan rebels are the world’s heavily-modified-fuck-you-jury-rigged champions. Although the improvised missile pickup didn’t quite pan out, this tank turret welded to the roof of a truck sure does. Desperate times call for pretty amazing measures. https://jalopnik.com/this-is-what-happens-when-your-improvised-missile-truck-5791604 It’s hard to discern the make of the truck, but it seems stripped down to the bare essentials.…

Russia’s New Armor-Fooling Rocket Grenade Is An “Abrams Killer” Apparently

The new rocket-propelled grenade RPG-30 anti-armor weapon recently unveiled in Russia has a sneaky trick to help it get past active defenses—it fires a tiny decoy rocket flying ahead of the main warhead. This is to confuse defensive systems into attacking the decoy, meaning they’re too busy to successfully defeat the real weapon inbound just…
