I ’m glad the Germans got rid of the curious moustache , the kinky uniform , and they are on our side now , because these miniskirt - army tank and mini - trucks — which could be deployed inside standard conveyance helicopters — give a new meaning to the word blitzkrieg . They can be roll out in any location in a matter of seconds , as this recent video shows . Apparently the hand truck have not been very successful in genuine use in Afghanistan , but the Wiesel 2 multi - role vehicles — explicate by Porsche — have been very utile .
I ’m not surprised about the trucks , which seem to be steal from a clown troupe . The soldiers say they are too small and uncomfortable for material operations .
The Wiesel , on the other side , seems to be a mini - wonderment . First , the treaded vehicle — lighter than a US Humvee and only 3.55 x 1.82 x 1.82 meters — can be easily deployed in standard scout troop transfer helicopters , along with the soldiers . Then , it can be retrofit to do whatever you want it to do , from air defense social unit , mobile radio detection and ranging , air travel missile catapult , armored transport , anti - tank vehicle with HOT missiles , ammo resupply , and even ambulance , among other roles .
Basically , these things can do anything . Hopefully , they do n’t include a CD player to flirt Wagner .
