Unbelievable Military GADGETS You Have to See!

What's up, guys? Welcome back to the Best Cool Tech Channel

Today, we're going to dive into the world of military technology and explore some of the craziest inventions that you won't believe exist

From weapons that fire lasers to tanks that can drive over water

the military has some pretty impressive gadgets that will blow your mind

So sit back, grab some popcorn and a flak jacket, and get ready to be amazed

Number 1 You'll Want to Take for a Ride First up, we're going to take a closer look at one of the most controversial non-lethal weapons ever created

the Active Denial System. This weapon is used to cause an unbearable burning sensation on the skin without causing any permanent damage

The Active Denial System, also known as ADS, was first developed by the U.S. military in the 1990s

It was designed to be a non-lethal weapon that could be used to control crowds or disperse rioters without causing any permanent harm

The weapon works by using millimeter waves to penetrate the skin and stimulate nerve endings, causing an intense burning sensation

The waves are similar to those used in microwave ovens, but at a much lower intensity

The weapon is designed to be safe, with the intensity of the waves carefully controlled to prevent any permanent damage

The weapon's mounted on a vehicle or tripod and is manned by a trained operator

It has a range of 700 meters and can be used to target individuals or groups

When the weapon's fired, it creates a sensation similar to standing in front of a hot oven

making it very uncomfortable for anyone in the area. The ADS has been used in a number of demonstrations

and has been proven to be very effective at dispersing crowds. In one demonstration, the weapon was used to disperse a group of protesters who were throwing rocks and bottles at the military

The ADS was able to disperse the crowd without causing any permanent harm, and no one was seriously injured

Despite its effectiveness, the active denial system has been controversial, with many human rights groups raising concerns about its use

They argue that the weapon is too easy to misuse and could be used to torture people

As a result the weapon has only been used in a limited number of situations and is subject to strict rules of engagement The 2B1 Oka This massive machine was designed by the Soviet Union in the 1970s

and is still one of the largest self-propelled artillery pieces ever built

The 2B1 Oka was designed to be a nuclear-capable artillery piece capable of firing a 420mm shell up to 45 miles

It was built on a modified T-80 tank chassis, and was powered by a massive 1,000-horsepower diesel engine

The machine was crewed by a team of six and was capable of firing a variety of shells

including high-explosive, fragmentation, and atomic. The machine had a top speed of 34 miles an hour and was capable of traversing a wide range of terrain

The 2B1 Oka was one of the largest self-propelled artillery pieces ever built

weighing in at over 47 tons. It was equipped with a massive 420mm gun that was capable of firing shells that weighed over 1,000 pounds

Despite its massive size and power, the 2B1 Oka was never used in combat

The 2B1 Oka was eventually retired in the 1990s as the Soviet Union collapsed

and the need for massive nuclear weapons decreased. Today, there are only a few surviving examples of the machine and they are primarily used as museum pieces

Next up is another Soviet military masterpiece, the 1K17 Shaddy Laser Tank

This incredible machine was designed by the Soviet Union in the 1980s and was one of the most advanced weapons of the Cold War

The 1K17 Shaddy was a self-propelled laser tank that was designed to destroy enemy vehicles and aircraft

It was equipped with a powerful chemical oxygen iodine laser, or COIL for short, that was capable of burning through steel and other materials

COIL lasers are known for their high power output, which can reach up to several hundred kilowatts, and their ability to deliver a high-energy beam over long distances

The machine was built on the chassis of a T-80 tank and was powered by a massive gas turbine engine

It was crewed by a team of four and equipped with advanced targeting systems that could detect and attack multiple targets at once

The laser on the 1K17 Shaddy was capable of firing a beam of light that was over three feet in diameter and could reach targets up to six miles away The laser was incredibly accurate and could destroy a target in just a matter of seconds

The 1K17 Shaddy was only ever produced in limited numbers and was primarily used for testing and evaluation

It was never deployed in combat, but its existence sent shockwaves through the Western military

as it demonstrated the incredible technological capabilities of the Soviet Union. The laser tank represents a time when the Soviet Union was pushing the boundaries of

what was possible in military technology. Before we go any further, we're curious, would you rather be burned by the active

denial system or the Shaddy Laser Tank? Let us know in the comments, and if you love to pronounce Shaddy as much as we do, then

and its aviation engineers were tasked with developing a new and innovative way to defend the country

They came up with the idea of a bomber carrying and launching smaller aircraft

Maybe Nick Fury cued them in on the Avengers helicarrier. Anyway, the idea later became known as the Zveno Project

The engineers modified the Tupolev TB-3 bomber and developed new mounting devices and mechanisms needed to launch and recover the smaller Polikarpov-1-16 fighters

The project was daring and risky, but demonstrated the ingenuity and skill of the Soviet Union's aviation engineers

The Zveno project was complicated and a dangerous undertaking, but it was also incredibly successful

The bombers were able to carry up to three I-16 fighters, which could then be launched to attack enemy targets

The I-16 fighters carried by the bomber were also able to be refueled in between engaging in dogfights with enemy planes

and they were also used to bomb enemy targets on the ground. The fighters were able to return to the bomber after their missions were complete

where they could be refueled, rearmed, and hitch a ride home to the motherland

Drone Gun Tactical from DroneShield, one of the most innovative and exciting devices in drone defense, the Drone Gun Tactical from DroneShield

This device is a handheld weapon that can disable drones from up to 1 miles away and it quickly becoming a must in the world of drone defense and high event security The DroneGun Tactical is a handheld device that

uses radio frequency signals to disable drones. It's capable of jamming a drone's signals and

taking over its controls, forcing it to land or return to its starting point. The device is

designed to be portable and lightweight at only 16 pounds, making it easy for law enforcement and

security personnel to carry and use in the field. The operator just needs to point it in the

direction of the drone and hold the trigger. The drone shield is designed to be easy to use

with a simple interface that allows users to disable drones quickly and effectively

It also allows users to pinpoint the location of a drone and track its movements. It's been used in

a variety of situations, including protecting military bases, airports, and public events

It's also being used by law enforcement agencies to combat criminal activity, including drug trafficking and smuggling

Drone Gun Tactical's Drone Shield is a game-changer in the world of drone defense

As the use of drones becomes more widespread, the Drone Gun Tactical is poised to become a crucial weapon in the fight against unauthorized drone activity

The Liberty Lifter X-Plane program is DARPA's newly greenlit Heavy Lift C-Plane

Two teams, General Atomics and Aurora Flight Sciences, will design DARPA's Liberty Lifter

Seaplane Demonstrator. The program aims to create a low-cost X-plane capable of seaborne strategic and tactical

heavy lift. The large flying boat will be capable of taking off and landing in rough sea conditions with

extended flight close to the water and ground effect. The General Atomics team has chosen a twin-hull mid-wing design, while Aurora Flight Sciences

will use a traditional single-haul high-wing design. DARPA will work with both teams to refine

the designs within the 18-month contract. The program will continue with Phase 2 in mid-2024

for further development of the Liberty Lifter concept. So go ahead and hit that subscribe

button if you want to sail off into the sunset on a plane like the Liberty Lifter. And let us know

which crazy military invention are you still in shock about? Maybe that laser tank is still

tickling your fancy
