| The Army has a newer variant of these in service right now in Korea. They're basically little John Deere 4-wheelers with a steering wheel, a small bench seat, a flat bed and a small infrared driving light on the front. I was watching a few guys doing tight turns in one, damn near flipped it over on it's side. It wasn't a very tight turn, and it can't go very fast, you do your own math with that one.
Last time I looked the guys in the motor pool were trying to figure out a way to rig it for an air assault mission. Good luck, it's mostly plastic. Should make an impressive display when they have to cut it free from a UH60. |
