Invisible Tanks

This is news is from last fall around the end of October, beginning of November but it was first brought to my attention by Alan about 2 days ago, so shut up. Apparently, according to reports from several sources the British Military conducted tests of their newly developed invisible tank. Both stories have different pictures, that are edited to show what the effect would be and sadly are not pictures of the actual vehicle.


While that is mildly disappointing, as a life long sci-fi and war junkie I find this all very exciting. I mean, they're invisible tanks! Of course, the only invisible tank I ever had experience with was the NOD Stealth Tank (3 Beards) from Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, and that thing was a piece of junk. Stealthy and fast, yes, but it took a veritable fleet of them to blow anything up. What a piece of crap, and way to drop the ball on that one C&C, should've made the damn Mammoth (6 Beards)invisible; now THAT would've been awesome.

In spite of all my nerdy excitement, this idea does leave me a little sad. There is part of me that likes to believe there is still some modicum of honor left on the battlefield. This is just another sneaky way to fight, and being a pirate and ergo an avid hater of ninjas I dislike sneaky means of fighting.

But, on the third hand, this gets me excited in another way, because the only truly practical way I could think of implementing this kind of technology, especially on a personal level would have to utilize nano technology(8 Beards). Nano technology is very exciting to me.
