    How about mounting guns on tractors? Or ploughs on tanks?

    I’ll bet a big harvester could be a great platform for rocket launchers.

      Idk, those harvesters are often rather delicate, so unsure how well they’d manage backfire from a rocket launch, but you have me imagining those farm machines with the huge sprayer wings, but fitted with lightweight guns, all controlled from the cab.

        True. I guess they have to get lifted out quickly before the worm gets there. Something might misfire and hurt the mother ship.

      Armored bulldozers with grenade launchers have seen much use in Israel, but I don’t know of any other comparable examples.

        Israel is also a genocidal fascist hellhole, so yeah, no thanks.

        Mind you, Pakistan is possibly one of the most inbred countries that exists, so perhaps encouraging weapons on tractors ain’t such a great idea.

      Back during WW2 we made some shitty tanks by welding a bit of corrugated iron and some bren guns to tractors cos that was the best we could produce in-country!
