Well I thought it was marginally interesting!

It's the sort of thing I can imagine old Hamster Hair doing if he ever gets to the White House. Hopefully it won't happen.

Maybe try being nice to each other instead of spending all that money on weaponry ?

We get enough flack for suggesting a missile shield for nukes these days let alone dropping anti-tank weaponry. Apparently defence is more aggressive than attack. It's a nice animation, but ultimately it assumes the anti measures are not countered, or even prevented from getting into position. Surely the foe would monitor the placement and blanket bomb the whole area before sending in their tanks ? In practice for every suggested "improvement" a counter measure exists to sell to the other side so advantages don't last long. Maybe if the "advance" was actually during a war, then it may last a little longer.

I am puzzled by whatever the ground drones were supposedly firing. They looked like shell & cartridge but there was no barrel, without which they're not going to propel the shell anywhere useful. But they jetted off like rockets and those need a bit of tube guidance to help them launch.

So this implies some kind of internal flight guidance, to home in on enemy targets. This is why aircraft ordnance costs a five-figure sum, minimum, per round. Profligate useage, as depicted should empty the coffers faster than the tank division could.


Off topic but I recently watched episode 2 of Greece with Simon Reeve, in which he reckoned Greece was induced (euphemism) into buying German-built tanks and this contributed towards its later debt crisis in a big way. And now Germ… I mean the EU lays down the law with its austerity plan for Greece. There's nice, for
you.

Clarification: any and all inducements will have been by private business people, not the EU, as such.

great concept video, thank you.
