I like the “target-missile” with the pulse jet on it.
Is the pulse jet the black tube on top of the missle? Does the pulse jet propel the missle? I’ll bet there’s some interesting electrohydraulic systems on these machines! Unfortunate that these tractors and machines are used for destruction instead of building infrastructure.
