Pneumatic war

March 14, 2011 by Fosco Lucarelli Leave a Comment

During these days of scary post quake, tsunami and nuclear apocalyptic news you may be rassured knowing that a pneumatic war is on going.

A Russian society developed an inflatable arsenal of full scale armored tanks and trucks, in order to trick enemy radar, wasting virtually no money (6000$ instead of 100000$ for a standard tank).

Somebody would be proud of collaborating for a hangar.
