We need more green weapons. I hope they will also make nuclear weapons more environmentally friendly
-
It is honestly a little insane talking about reducing the emissions of war 😮.
-
Electric tank, so environmental friendly with reducing human count.
-
Trying to be climate neutral sounds like the wrong priority in designing military hardware. Shouldn't your priorities be things like effectiveness at neutralizing the enemy, being easy to maintain and durable, being safe to operate and being modular so that it can be integrated into a NATO-wide framework?
-
Hybrid electric is definitely a priority and key logistical advantage that any military could have. Fuel has to be moved, has weight, generates emissions operators breathe, and can be bombed. BEV isn't currently feasible for frontline vehicles, but "environment protection" is honestly a minor reason for a military to want to go electric/hybrid. More efficient vehicles have more range, lower noise, lighter logistical footprint, and less thermal signature. The cost is maintenance, which is nontrivial, but I bet will be worth it in the long haul.

Imagine our battery technology if it received even a small percentage of the defense budget.
-
Eco friendly solar powered tanks

1:25 "but how can military vehicles be made climate neutral?" I don't know why but this sentence cracks me up what the heck lmaoo the bombs and munitions are might as well be made environmentally friendly😂 edit: though I understand the intentions and the urgency, it's still funny to m
-
Elon musk will deploy his AI tanks and AI drones against anyone who dares to tax him. That's the future.
-
I don't get it. Why do weapons need to be environmentally friendly? I thought the title meant future effectiveness and lethality.
-
Correction, the M1 Abrams has a gas turbine engine that uses all sorts of fuel not just kerosene.
-
I think it's more about having an energy source when diesel becomes an expensive niche market.
-
Reforestation is best option for foreseeable future.
-
E-fuels fuel burning hybrids will do the trick. Both in civilian life and in military.
-
3 years ago this sort of necessity talk for defense enlargement was unheard of for Europe. And here we are!.
-
There is a huge market for organic and renewable lead-free ammunition.
-
the mental gymnastics is breath taking lol
-
With how things are developing globally, there won't be any future !
-
As a retired soldier I feel battery powered vehicles in combat are a weakness in battle. Using fuel you can refuse quickly but charging a battery takes a lot of time. This makes a significant weakness and it is also dependent on a power source when power plants are big military targets as it ism

Hydrogen or diesel hybrid with batteries to be able to run electric for minimal heat signature
