    I have the overwhelming urge to give it a firm slap and say “That’s not going anywhere.”

    It never occurred to me to use a box truck as a cope cage. Fucking epic.

        But the rig would conflict with roof of the truck no?

          Get it swinging and keep a hold on the quick-release.

          That’s an actual thing you can put on a forklift.

          That being said, good luck finding a forklift that can pick up a tank. Max I’ve seen was rated for 20k pounds, aka 10 tons. Even the M1E3 is expected to weigh over 4x that

            Unless someone says otherwise, I’m guessing that’s either a really good decoy or a movie prop. Or photoshop.

              It’s really hard to tell. The rear hatch of the APC looks like it’s nonfunctional, as if it’s painted on. The lighting is fairly consistent with the rest of the scene, so it’s probably not photoshop. Plus, things like license plates aren’t fucked up, so I doubt it’s AI

    You know, this doesn’t look very credible, at least in in wartime, but the basic idea of camouflaging your APC as a plain truck camouflaged as ground might be.

    Wait, there’s no motor in a tank? I’ve never really thought about how they work, but that doesn’t seem right.

      Motorized infantry means infantry transported by light vehicle like trucks and hmmwv. Mechanized infantry means infantry transported by armored vehicles like APCs and IFVs. Light infantry means infantry that will hoof it and while they can usually have trucks and the like they don’t need them to do their jobs.

    Mechanized infantry are Pokemon and IFVs are the Pokeballs.
