#1 So you haul the thing out of the museum or wherever, fix it up so it will run, haul it to the front--like you don't have other stuff you need up there--fill it with explosives, all the while obvious to drones or satellites, start it up, hope it goes where it's pointed....Must have been a war gamer thought this one up.

#2 When you don't want to break international law (?!) and use clusters, or you don't have them with a delivery engine.

#3 How Much Does A Tank Trailer Hold?

"As gasoline weighs 6.6 pounds per gallon and water weighs 7.4 so the 10,000 gallon truck and trailer (usually two trailers, a large one and a pup) could weigh over 130,000 full and 50,000 empty."

So, 80k of bang.

#5 Very effective - all those ukr troops in that trench... doneskies. If you watch the video, right before the explosion, if you dont blink and pay attention, you can see the ukrianian troops fire a RPG at the remote bomb tank.
