When the Unimog was first produced its inventor wanted it to never be used as an implement of war, but instead to make the life of many civilians better.

My uncle was in charge of the MULE project, and was pissed when it got scrapped. At least I got some cool souvenirs from him though.

"This is a USAF/SAC (Strategic Air Command) B-52 Mobile Simulator Train. The train consisted of an Administration Car, two B-52 Simulator Cars, and a Crew Car. Due to a shortage of simulators and the mission of SAC, whose air crews were on alert and needed to be close to the planes, bringing the simulators to the bases was the most efficient way to keep the crews near their aircraft at all times. As far as I can determine, there were 2 or 3 sets of cars that traveled on a circuit of three bases each where the B-52’s were stationed. The cars traveled on regular freight trains and were escorted by USAF personal. The B-52 simulators cars were converted from WW-I hospital cars in the early 1960’s and had concrete floors to support the delicate equipment. These cars were heavy at 180 tons and had expandable sides at the cockpit section and cabinets that housed the electronics and electro-mechanical servo systems. The Administration Car had additional equipment cabinets, an office area and a small galley area for the escorts. The Crew Car appears to be a Pullman built, WWII Troop Car that was converted. In the late 60’s, several of these flight simulators were converted for the KC-135 air tankers that supported the B-52’s mission, which was easy as they were both built by Boeing and had similar cockpits. This program ran into the early 80’s before being decommissioned. This train stayed a B-52 Simulator till the end and has a Cruise Missile inside as a training aid."

This is the original Linebacker, an ADAT system with a secondary bushmaster cannon that would fill the SHORAD and an AT role into the next century.

And then the commies fucked it up by collapsing and the program was ended.

>>34928421
nice

>>34929353
Pretty cool, they ought to add a 50cal rifle to the arm or something so blowing a found IED is easier, dropping a charge on it just seems kinda slow. Or they could just use the mounted 50cal on the top.

>>34928301
the warhead is removed, and there is no fuel

>>34927367
I'l have to get a picture of all my MULE goodies, since in my last post about it I didn't have everything.

>>34929732
Many explosives would just get broken apart by a .50 cal rifle and remain dangerous and now much harder to clean up. Plastic explosives like C4 for example are remarkably stable.

The charge will detonate almost everything however. Given you don't always know the composition of the explosive you're working with, the charge is the only guaranteed option.

>>34930843
Ignition requires striking a hard target on most explosive .50BMG.

I'm also unsure if it'd successfully trigger it, even if it did successfully detonate against the ordnance.

German guy designed aircraft engines form 1933-45 and was a bit disappointed that his work only brought death and destruction upon mankind, so he repented his sins and tried to turn swords into plowshares.
Turned out even his plowshares are pretty damn good for war.

Meet Alfred Becker, Chief Ork designer of the Werhamcht Heer.

Before the war he worked as an engineer. After being stationed in France, his curiousity got the better of him and he started visiting all the French and Anglo equipment equipment dump sites. Seeing a lot of wasted potential he started salvaging the vehicles. The better conditioned ones primarily. He would fix them up, place German optics and guns on them, and before long they were being sent to North Africa. The equipment impressed Rommel so much, that Rommel became a personal friend to Becker, and used his name to get Becker an Audience before Hitler. Becker brought a dozen of his converted units to Hitler's meeting, and it impressed Hitler so much that he odered Becker to make him two divisions worth of armour, and gave him all the resources he would need.

Becker completed the task.
