Wouldn't this be a tire battery vehicle, or does it shout obscenities at the tires, too?
(This is just a really dumb joke btw)
Did they assault every tire, just in case, or did they have some way to know which ones were a threat?
The Schwerer Bohrpanzer II, built on the King Tiger chassis was not effective during WW2, for it was a smol lad. It later got a sweet gig at NASA and didnโt even need to pass a drug test.
Kinda like Von Braun then
Werner 'forced labor' von Braun?

This might seem odd, but the answer you seek is in the article.
Bruh no it isn't
NASA repurposed a Tamiya RC tank with a drill on top to dispose of blowout-prone Space Shuttle tire prototypes after testing.
Something something fallen into my trap perfectly. Also neat.
Lmao as soon as i saw your last comment i suspected what you were doing, very well played
Works every time, thanks friend!
To deliberately cause the tires to explode during testing without putting humans at risk
To serve butter.
Would it have been cheaper and easier to build a jig and/or cage to do the same job?
