Is this a technical?
This is a cruise missile.
Technically yes
Yes. I'd go so far as to say it still would be with just two wheels.
No. The driver is in front of the chamber so it's a bullpup.
Tuk tuk? Don't you disrespect the Ape Piaggio!
Piaggio Ape* you don't say Golf VW, do you?
That's exactly what we do in Italy. Call it Piaggio Ape and you'll get quite a few puzzled stares.
Italy? Is that what you call South Switzerland?
Well, TIL i guess:D
Piaggio Ape doesn't sound well in Italian. Ape Piaggio rolls much better.
I remember driving around in my grandma's Corolla Toyota...

They deploy this vehicle in rough terrain because if it gets stuck the gunner can pick it up and put it on his shoulders and carry it across the obstacle.
LOL meanwhile Russians are riding actual golf carts into combat.
what timeline is this.

I love that Forbes says: "We've built up enough clout around the financial world for today. Time to troll just a lil beety beet...." Good work, bros! My dad still reads your stuff every morning! He's been subscribed since you printed on sheepskin, keep it up. Salute.
I mean I don't want to carry that thing + ammo.
I raise you the bicycle units.
I'm impressed that the tuk tuk seems to withstand the recoil of the MG3.
I imagine if you try firing from anything other than in line with the tuktuk, it falls over.
Just line up an enemy behind it and watch it recoil them into the Kuiper Belt?
i'd put the just cause 2 tuk tuk against any video game vehicle
Fear the mighty Ape 50
How is this not credible?
The 2nd strongest armed force in Ukraine is using anything and everything to convince the world that they still have operating armored vehicles for war. The Telegraph pod "Ukraine: The Latest" just confirmed yesterday that the Russians have covered their last T-90 in a big, badly welded metal box that prevents them from firing their T-90's main weapon. But golf carts are funny, too. Laugh with us, it's ok!
Danes should hire Indian rickshaw drivers. Putin would start shitting in his pants.
Now bring that to World of Tanks. Or War Thunder.

This is what I picture mall cop warfare looks like.

NonCredibleDefense
A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
