This Robot Rocketeer is the RC Car We All Wanted
Published 1 years ago
Footage shared on Ukrainian telegram shows Russia using the RC car that I asked my mom for a thousand times but never got. I got socks.
Listen, I don't want to try and write something about the efficacy of this thing, I just want to enjoy the idea of getting to drive it and shoot it at watermelons on a wide open range. The armament for it includes 4 rockets and what appears to be a PKT (or PKTM). Difficult to know which, because the PKTM really just has a slightly reinforced receiver in comparison to the former. For more specificity, it's got 2 RPG-26's which are single-use disposable, and two RPG-7's which can be reloaded with various rocket types. The PKT/PKTM on top is essentially a PK (7.62x54R) that's been modified to be fitted to vehicles. All appear to be remotely controlled.
I want to drive it. I don't care who's it is.
UPDATE: This post was updated to add additional specifics on the PKT vs PKTM.
