Hand carts are the future of infantry mobility ;-)

years ago i was playing with a superlightweight carbon fiber version of this , only real improvement , was folding and suspension.

Maybe time to dust of the plans , and get in on the action, while money is still being thrown around.

this monowhell for stretcher costs cca 3000Eur , which means can be sold to Ukraine for 10+K$ given how things are being sold for now.

You need to add a lawnmower engine for another 10K$.

Or just get Rheinmetall to sell it. 

Nah, another wheel for stability and an electric motor with solar recharging for the battery.

China studying Ukraine war for lessons to apply to Taiwan; their biggest concern is Starlink sats and missiles like Javelin / Stinger. They also view drones as crucial for 'kicking in the door' of Taiwan. 

Urge development of weapons to destroy / blind / suppress Starlink, and methods of protecting against Javelin and Stinger. Also realize the need to seize Taiwan ASAP before a US/Western response can coalesce.

Interesting video. Trench firefight, we see multiple AK malfunctions, several which require 'mortaring' the rifle, and one where the rifle has to be field stripped in the trench. 

Not sure whether they're some janky AK's, or whether the high level of shooting at the 0 position is wearing the rifles out / heating them to the point of jamming?
