New robot destined for US forces
 

A very impessive if not frightening new gadget for lugging stuff around the battlefield.

It could carry my assortment of Blues and other bits of kit, to the squadron !!


Maybe I'll need two....

Remarkable, although I do wonder how much someone must have paid to build a donkey?

Impressive beastie - looks like something out of Star Wars. Would question its endurance though. I wouldn't expect it could last for more than a few miles assuming its powered by a battery/fuel-cell.

How long before someone straps a chain gun to it? Now that would be worth seeing. It would have to adopt a brace position akin to a sheep being approached from behind by lovestruck Welsh farmer.

Unlike a donkey, you could strap explosives to it without upsetting the animal rights mob.

please tell me thats a spoof!!

No spoof.

Many years ago I was high in the Pyrenees when a patrol came through with a GPMG and kit loaded on a mule. Mateys couldn't stop sniggering about the "advanced" Spanish Army until I suggested they carry it themselves.
