BUT WAIT - there's more!!! So you don't forget order before midnight tonight. Free set of Ginsu Knives!

Hasn't the war in Ukraine just proved a hundred dollar drone can destroy any tank?
-
These brothers had very short lived tv program. They were entertaining to watch.
-
Everyone is forgetting that no war is won without boots on the ground. autonomous devices are simply support weapons. Support weapons need support and that is boots on the ground.
-
They should make a 105mm towed field artillery version with an autoloader. That would be the ultimate shoot 'n scoot.

I defer to negative comments, by this simple idea; Use it Wisely! It has abilities not seen since the Hellcat Tank-Destroyer. It's almost 'Quiet' and could get much more silent. It has a Low Thermal Image, as well. And, lastly, It's a LOT QUICKER than most other craft out-there. The Studebaker 'Weasel' was a Recon Favorite in WW-2, because, it was amphibious, quiet, quick and Nimble, and 101st AB used it to great advantage, even-though, it was usually Un-Armed! Give it GUNS, and, the Battle-of-the-Bulge wouldn't have been.... This Is, that; and in a Modern war-front, it DOES NOT ALWAYS need a Human on-board. Not a Game-changer it was a decade ago, but, it'll add to Flexible Response.

Well good comments all. No system is perfect and can be destroyed, but, I can see many uses for the Ripsaw and it can save lives by being unmanned. I like how it has its own drone helicopter and ground crawler. Perhaps an anti-drone weapons system can be developed as an add on package. Creativity and imagination are key. Very fine start.

It would not survive a 50 caliber rifle or machine gun. It's an oversize snow mobile.
-
The ripsaw was first seen in the GI-Joe Movie with the Rock. He drove it. It's a Cheaper than a tank or training of a soldier. Drones and FPV's have Changed the battle field like how tanks did 100 years ago. Must Keep Up!
-
Tank no IFV, the turret says it all. Also love the Sherman like suspension.
-
My first thought is whether the Ripsaw can mount the Skyranger 30 or 35mm AAA turret. A good and mobile anti-drone and anti-helicopter 'Flakpanzer Junior' would certainly be welcome, especially if it can be remotely operated ir work semi-autonomous.
-
It would be a great off road buggy. Really cute.
-
The mechanics on MadMax Fury Road had no end of trouble with theirs. Called it an absolute piece of shit.
-
That suspension looks vulnerable.
-
Worst case scenario. These are deployed against American civilians piloted by kids who think they are playing War Thunder.
-
Yeah still the drones will get it
-
Thought the Ripsaw was derived from a Mad Max bullet town vehicle.
-
This effort would be a great help in the Ukraine where the ground conditions change dramatically. The speed and weight getting the vehicle over mine fields without damage. A wheeled mud version would do great too. Seasonal restrictions are a reality in the Ukraine.
-
Ripsaw is a very valuable autonomous vehicle fit for different usage by fire department,swat,and police departments in various States.
-
As long as the Army doesn't think it has an autonomous fighting vehicle, this thing should prove useful. Used as a remotely operated vehicle, it would be able to perform a variety of tasks without putting a crew in danger.
