    Not a terrible idea initially, blend in with farm equipment, excellent off road capability, small and nimble. However there’s a reason Geneva conventions require military personnel and equipment to be distinct from civilians.

    Do you want all your civilian farmers blown up? Because this is how you do that.

      Reminds me of this old Eastern Bloc joke (read it in a thick slavic accent):

      Pravda reports imperialist forces unjustly and underhandedly attacked peaceful farm tractors of great USSR doing peaceful harvesting work. Our brave farmers returned fire and flew back to USSR territory.
