Airborne AT Platform
Guess the DOD is taking the current gas situation seriously with this new air-droppable anti-tank weapons carrier...and--based on experience--it looks like the Air Farce had their say on this design, too.  Any takers?

Probably French, probably with a name to recall Napolean, or the tall one with the big nose.
Nice paint job though

Looks like a 106mm Recoiless Rifle (sans .50 cal spotting gun) mounted on a Vespa. Might work in an urban "dash around the corner, fire at an APC, duck back down an alley, " kind of encounter.

That is so phallic...if I am ever reduced to riding a scooter, I want one!

Frequent use will produce burns where you sit....and other things.
After that, you won't care if you hit anything.
Probably try to convert to shoulder fired weapon.
Like I said, probably French.

Might require the driver to wear a pair of those padded bicycle riding shorts...asbestos lined, of course.
Also, recruiters for this MOS might be on the lookout for those whom we might want to consider removing from the gene-pool by reducing their ability to breed once they fire this thing.
