Jalopnik is at a military systems show—yes, they have those, apparently—and was handed the controls to the 12-ton BAE Unmanned Combat Vehicle, a remotely controlled tank. Weapons systems were turned off for the demo, unfortunately.
A short video of the drive at the link. You know they wanted to take a smash into those parked cars.

I like that the tank appears to have nipple rings. Just sayin’.
now this would actually get rid of vagrants and drug dealers…and bbq grills, hoopties, acoustic guitars and screaming children.
Does anyone else think that exposed aerial looks like a serious weak spot? You might not be able to destroy the tank, but damage the aerial to make it uncontrollable and it’s useless.
/totally uninformed opinion.
What’s with the little pea shooter on that thing? All hat, no cattle?
@1. that’s the army for you
@2. you forgot gypsies (ptui!)
@3. there is actually a dwarf inside
@4. you don’t need more for killing unarmed civilians
Those rings are how you tie it up for the night so it doesn’t wander off.
The aerial is made of adamantium.
