Real Life "Kerbalisms"

This souvenir the Russian army dragged home from Syria looks... particularly interesting, and not just because of its sheer size (those blue things absolutely are gas tanks converted into mortar shells, for scale).

Some crazy dude called Bob Lazar strapped a J20 Jet Engine on a bike once.

Please remember Forum Rules on commenting this stunt - Kraken knows I have some about the strapping failing with that thing lit. :sticktongue:

He was the…. “Third Man”  :huh: I am confused

This monstrosity sounds very Kerbal.

 

Ah, this thing... what an overstatement. The quad track was being sold as a way to navigate a permafrost molten by thermonuclear war. Otherwise, despite the unconventional appearance provided by thin anti-HEAT "bumpers", this tank isn't particularly resistant to nuclear effects compared to the rest of the IS/T-10 heavy tank series.
