The military are not going to use anything on the front lines en mass that can't be refueled and ready to go again within 10 minutes. As to reduced fuel useage.. who are they kidding... there generally is no mains electricity, so they would have to port in fuel to feed generators to recharge the batterys... having a laugh.....

welsh1 Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Can't see them being used for front line, they would not be able to refuel fast enough to keep an advance going, there is also the problem of how violently electric battery vehicles burn. As electric vehicles are generally heavier then they would have to make the weight saving by removing other parts, would this come at a cost of occupant protection?

Stephen-H Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Would make a good beaters bus if it fails for the army & they sell them off could get the beaters to the drive in silence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 All well and good but it all goes pear shaped as soon as someone pulls a trigger. Mind you, being 5.56 they get to keep their lead firing SA80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesj Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 I haven't seen any electric police cars yet so guess they don't think they are a good idea and I really can't see the army wanting these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the Army that wants them, just those that fight behind desks and decide what's best. It matters not if something works/fits as long as it looks good to the public. Take the recent ad for recruitment for soldiers, picking a baby out of flood water and saying ahhhh. Or the RAF one showing two guys kissing. Honestly - Google it, or maybe not🤔🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countryman Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Now now, there are no winners or losers now in anything, it’s all about being green , and no nasty bullets in a war, soldiers may shout bang but not to loudly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raising ones voice to shout is no longer allowed as it may cause offence. One should speak in a forceful but polite manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
