The most crazy 'weapons inventions' of the century

During the war, weapon renewal can bring spectacular victory to this faction and cause unexpected defeat for the other side. However, there are also very strange initiatives, even "crazy".

The inventions voted by military experts as "crazy" most

Dog anti-tank

Anti-tank dogs are used by the Soviet Union during World War II to combat German tanks . These dogs are trained to find food under tanks and starve before each game. When they were about to die they were given bombs on their backs, and the leverage would pop up when the dog went under the car. When the lever falls back, the dog will explode.

Spiral tanks

This is a tank model that can travel on all terrain produced by the former Soviet Union, labeled SHN-1. This type of vehicle can be adapted to all types of terrain as well as to cope with extreme weather patterns.

Tanks are characterized by non-use wheels as well as chains that use two spiral shafts equipped to help the vehicle move. This structure makes it possible for vehicles to overcome terrain such as snow, ice, and even on the water surface, but ordinary cars cannot operate.

The Siberian terrain is very suitable for such a twisted tank. But what this type of car can do is that, because it can go on rough terrain but "bundle " with flat terrain. Not only that, the weight of the vehicle is too heavy, the operation is slow and especially using too much fuel oil, so it has not been used.

Curved barrel gun

Used in battle in the inner area, allowing users to shoot down enemies hiding behind corners and concrete walls.

Tsar tank

"Super tank" Tsar is also known as "Mosquito Bat" because its shape is like a bat bat sitting on a tree branch, with 2 big front wheels and a 3-wheeled donut in the back.

It is also known as " Lebedenko Tang " which was researched and developed by Russians in the years 1916 - 1017. This massive armored vehicle does not use a crawler system like normal armor types.

The two front wheels of the Sa Hoang tank have a diameter of nearly 9 meters each, the rear wheel system is many times smaller (1.5 meters). The horizontal body of a 12-meter-long armored vehicle. On the flanks, the upper turret was equipped with cannons and assault machine guns. The total weight of a Sa Hoang tank weighs about 40 tons; 17.8 m long; 10 m high; 9 m wide, crew 9 people, speed is only 17 km / hour.

In August 971, the first war chariot was first tested. But when operating, the rear wheels tend to get stuck in weak areas, the grooves and front wheels sometimes can't pull the car out of the mound.

Because of the lack of mobility, when operating on many obstacles terrain, where the terrain is subsidence such as swamp, flooded land, because the body is large and the structure of distribution of pull force is not easy to make the machine This becomes useless, super boosts easily become the target of the enemy's life.

Too bulky, Tsar is not used.

The fact proves that this massive war machine is easy to become a "good bait " for the enemy's heavy artillery when it operates on the battlefield.

After the project of mass production of the Tsar was canceled in 1917, one of the only two massive Russian chariots was left at the site of the first tests, which was located Moscow capital today is about 60km.

In 1923, a special tank of this type was removed in part to obtain recycled scrap , marking the end of a special Russian weapon project during World War I.

Air defense ball

The room ball was not used during World War II. Effect: to prevent low-altitude enemy aircraft from spreading bombs using stretched metal wires and explosive devices.

Habbakuk

Habbakuk, an aircraft carrier project from pykrete - a mixture of ice and wood pulp. The war ended before the project could come true.

Bat bomb

Bat bombs were created by Americans during World War II to deal with Japan. Making this bomb is quite simple: place an explosive device that burns Mexican tailed bats, then drop them into the enemy's city to destroy the infrastructure.

Goliath crawler

German-made Goliath crawler mines and used during World War II. This mine is used against tanks and is remotely controlled

Flying jeep

The inventor's intention was to create a helicopter that was light enough to land any terrain, but this idea did not materialize even though many prototypes were created.

Carrier can fly

This design is only on paper because it is easily shot down, consumes a lot of fuel and has few advantages on the battlefield

Armored ship

In order to protect the railroad system from attacks by the Confederates, the US government ordered the armored railroad car to be fitted with thick iron plates on its head and sides. The windows on either side allow the soldiers inside to shoot out without fear of being hit by bullets.

It was thought that these ships would be indestructible tanks, but in 1864, a cannon was "accidentally " destroying one.

Next in 1865, another fighter was punched and this time, it was because of the bullet-proof plates that had returned to the bullets from inside, injuring the people inside it. As a result, they were quickly abandoned.

Puckle Gun

Puckle gun was invented by British writer and lawyer James Puckle. The product was named by Puckle as a defensive gun, but the name given to him was named Puckle gun. After all, this kind of gun died prematurely .

The gun fired several times.

Initially, the Puckle gun was created with the intent of fighting against Christian enemies, then Turkish Muslims, but it never had the opportunity to fulfill the mission. hope.

This type of gun has a tripod, is hot in single and a rotating cylinder shot multiple times, can fire 63 bullets in 7 minutes, superior to conventional guns that can only fire 3 shots / minute , no different from military rifles.

Puckle guns do not attract investors and are never mass produced or sold to the British armed forces.
