Zurvan7: Why should a nation be proud of making machines that can kill innocent people and destroy cities and schools, while there is still high poverty and high unemployment rate? The government can surely use the funding from the R&D in much better ways...

solzariv: So they can protect themselves from Russia.

Oh come on, their helicopter ejection seat almost worked!

So I shouldn't mention Inflatable Anchors, or Pedal-Powered Wheelchairs? How about Powdered Water?
Meanwhile in Europe ca. 2011...

You make a brilliant point, reality will always outdo fantasy. we could sit around all day trying to come up with stupid goofy inventions and none of them would ever come close to the real things.

In an American city this tank would be near invisible.

For the topic...who needs tanks? The last wars were won with air forces.
Even if you could hide the tank, you can't hide his tracks and the satellites can see and recognize them.
