American Air Force to blow up Tesla Cybertrucks

Tesla has made a number of daring claims about his controversial cyber truck. This unconventional fully electric pick-up, for example, is probably equipped with “Shatter Resistant Armor Glass”, a statement that was embarrassing when the company’s main designer crashed on the draft model in 2019 in 2019 in 2019. Tesla also seemed to suggest that the vehicle was requested from the vehicle, and the caliber of the rounds cannot be asked. Thanks to these ‘attributes’, the cyber truck seems like a great vehicle for the army, and some are finally bought by the American forces.

Ready … aim … fire!

Before the company CEO Elon Musk starts to jump for joy – only two, yes, two Cybert trucks are obtained by the Air Force, and probably not for whatever reason you would expect. These pick -ups are not used for the transport of staff or pressed into logistics roles, they will essentially be used for goal practice.

As reported by The war zoneThe US Air Force acquires 33 different vehicles, including a series of pickups, SUVs and sedans. This includes a duet of cyber trucks. All these machines are sent to the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) in New Mexico, where it will be used as goals for precision -based weapons.

But why record the cyber truck? According to The war zone“The service says that it needs these vehicles for this purpose, specifically because of the prospect of non -specific opponents who are driving around in the future,” which is logical. Stainless steel is a tough, durable material that is rarely used in vehicle bodies.

This mattering of cars and trucks is said to support the US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) Stand -Off Precision Guided Munitions (SOPGM) program. Tests include tests with air launched precision-based weapons such as the AGM-114 Hellfire and AGM-176 Griffin missiles as well as the GBU-69/B Small Glide ammunition, among other things.

Changing threats require changing tests

According to documentation obtained by The war zone“Spiegel must test in practice. The intention of the training is to prepare the units for operations by simulating scenarios as closely as possible for the situations in practice.” Certain groups can start using the cyber truck, which has been established that the damage is better resistant than conventional vehicles with painted steel or aluminum bodies when they are subject to large effects.

Yet it is curious that the army takes the cyber truck as seriously as it is. This vehicle is actually only sold in the US and Canada, which means that it is quite unlikely that this Tesla will appear on distant battlefields, a role that is usually reserved for older Toyota pickups. The automaker has also not sold much of these vehicles. Some estimate that barely 46,000 of these electric pick -ups have found new houses. Ford practically delivers so many F-150s every 20 minutes. Charging also raises questions. It is easy to transport and save gasoline and diesel, but how to supplement the battery of an EV in the middle of the desert or deep in a jungle can still be seen.

The stainless steel body of the Tesla Cybertruck is unique in the car industry and very sustainable. In the unlikely event, this vehicle is once hired by enemies or rebels, the US Army must be ready to prevent the threat, so this testing is still important – although ridiculous.
