The purpose of wars is to win. But finding a way to win has driven many countries to develop weapons and gadgets that go beyond insanity.

Today I'm going to tell you about the craziest military technologies and vehicles in the world.

Unstoppable Tires

There is nothing worse than a flat tire. But can you imagine having a flat tire in the middle of a war zone? Wouldn't it be ridiculous to change tires when a war with bullets and bombs is taking place all around you? Fortunately, many military vehicles around the world use pneumatic run flat tires. This means that in the event of a puncture, the tire does not puncture or need to be replaced immediately. This system is very clever, but the car can only travel 96 kilometers at low speed before it wears out in the run flat. So while the attempt is good, it's not perfect. But the United States military has an invention that can completely eliminate tire pressure. This non-pneumatic tire adapts to the surroundings of objects similar to a wheel-air-filled tire using a honeycomb polymeric mesh between the tread band and the rim. This wheel is completely puncture-proof, allowing wheeled vehicles to stay level and tackle shrapnel, rough terrain and rough terrain without fear of being stranded. The Pentagon reported the potential of this technology in 2008 and provided flexible funding of $18 million in hopes that they would create a tire that the United States military could use. But after more than 12 years of grueling testing, the resilience tire is still in the prototype stage. However, the development of these wheels is still being worked on. Military vehicles of the future will look really cool.

IRL Shooter Robot

Snipers often face the toughest working conditions. It may be impossible to get a good shot in windy, foggy weather or when targets are not stable. But in 2014, DARPA introduced game-changing self-guided sniper rounds to snipers. The extreme accuracy mission regulation program x-acto uses a real-time guidance system and specially designed ammunition. This system compensates for most conditions such as wind and poor visibility, directing the projectile to the target. This weapon even works even if the user has little or no experience with a sniper rifle. You can see the untrained rifleman shooting a moving target. Interestingly, the testing program ended in 2015 and other developments in the technology were kept secret. However, in 2016, Russia released a new version of the smart bullet, which is claimed to be able to hit a target 9 kilometers away.

Tactical Tech

At 140 centimeters long, 45 centimeters high and 20 centimeters wide, this weapon is immensely large and frightening. Also, despite weighing only 7 kilograms, the gun is loaded with batteries, not bullets. Used by military units all over the world, this anti-drone weapon is fully powered by 14.4 volt lithium batteries. In recent years, both military and commercial drones have begun to pose major security risks for almost all countries on the map. For example, in 2018, there was an assassination attempt on the Venezuelan president with two drones carrying explosives. The drone weapon tactic was designed to help eliminate this threat. So much so that this device can drop drones more than one and a half kilometers away by using radio frequency jamming technique to disrupt operator connections. All an operator has to do is maintain line of sight and pull the trigger. The frequencies instantly block the drone's video signal, forcing it to land or return to the starting point.
