There’s a country in Ghanna that made these bizarre prototype military vehicles. A metal gear walker, and wacky looking tanks and helicopters as examples. Are there other 3rd world countries that make weird (and probably pretty bad) military shit? I wanna see more of this. And was there ever an update on these vehicles?

is that a flamethrower or GO REALLY FAST FLAMES?

The guy behind these trashcans is an actual lunatic and should have been put in a mental asylum long ago.

>prototype
these are literally made out of cardboard and tape.
It's a prototype of the mock-up, cool it with the pedantry
>Are there other 3rd world countries that make weird (and probably pretty bad) military shit?
bob semple would actually have killed japs and protected its crew from fragments, though probably not actual bullets. And was devised as an expedient conversion of existing on scene resources to military use in the face of potential imminent invasion.
Comparing the two is literally comparing a the efforts of white and black. They're both shit made of scraps and bits, but one of them would have actually served a limited functional purpose, while the other is literally just cargo cult non-sense.
If I were a jap infantryman with no tank support or AT weapons on hand bob semple would present a serious problem.
>but not actual bullets.
Funnily enough, it would have, due to layered shaped iron giving it a near-constant “angle”, plus good depth.
It wouldn’t have stood to armour, or AT guns, or worked as a tank, but for a blueprint less vehicle a farmer could build in a country with near no major machining industrial capacity at the time, it would have made a genuinely fearsome mobile pillbox.
As much as it’s a meme, it’s arguably one of the most remarkable stories of military engineering.
You're missing the elephant in the room though. The starting point of the Bob Semple was an existing crawler tractor, and those were not made by some random farmer. Ghana does not have existing Caterpillar tractors to modify into combat vehicles, they claim to make everything from scratch.
Well this is unfair. The Bob Semple tank actually armed with moderately powerful rifles for the time.
It isn't that outlcassed as you would think when it's biggest threat would be the Japanese Ha-Go and 47mm anti-tankguns. And realistically the Japanese would be using infantry first in an amphibious landing in New Zealand.
>And was there ever an update on these vehicles?
Yeah, I hear they finally managed to replace the tape with hot glue but then they melted in the sun and the cardboard fell off.
>and the cardboard fell off.
From the front?
What was the point of this?
A guaranteed military sale - renovation program, spare parts for twenty-five years... Who cares if it worked or not?
>What was the point of this?
Some guys fricked around for fun in a workshop a decade ago and since then the internet has been obsessed with the idea that this is a legitimate programme because "hurr hurr africans r stoopid".
>Some guys fricked around for fun in a workshop a decade ago
It's more than that, the guy behind it is a literal con man, and these "weapons" have been appearing for years.
>And the cult thing is no joke.
Correct.
He owns a company which supposedly builds and sells cars in Ghana, however that is a bit misleading as the cars it sells are really made as kits coming in from China and only the final assembly is done in Ghana. Kantanka motors, look it up.
The guy who made these is a shady businessman/cult leader in a poor province who does crazy shit. I dated a chick from Ghana who was from the capital, and she'd never heard of him or his company even though he runs Ghana's only supposed car company. When I mentioned where this was happening she basically said "yeah that's out in the boonies." They were a British colony so English is the official language and the nice areas are pretty modern for Africa. She could have been American. Then I guess you go out into the country and it's ooga booga tribal stuff.
Not too different from us, is it?
The difference between rich and poor areas is a lot bigger in countries like this than in the US. It'd be like if the plains states were one big indian res where most people didn't speak english or know who the president was.
>cult leader in a poor province who does crazy shit
Is this the same guy that calls himself some insane long list of titles including "doctor doctor", and "apostle"?
"Apostle Dr. Dr. Engr. Kwadwo Safo".
And the cult thing is no joke.
It's always aviator shades.

Imagine what the 01 looked like.
Are you African OP?
Nah I’m Iraqi-American
Why?
You seem to genuinely think these are real and not cardboard. Iraqi explains it, though.
There was no country. It was some weird cult who made these strange props. Never did hear why the cult leader thought that was a good idea — maybe he figured it would impress to the 60-IQ peasants and increase his numbers. Maybe it did?
Kantanka vs Russia, who would win?
/k/ would like Ghana. Gays are illegal, the tourism industry is based around the slave trade, you don't have to learn a foreign language, you can build a Mad Max army out in the desert, and bang big booty black b***hes all day.
Concerning the big booty black b***hes, they got nice faces? They gotta turn around and you have to talk to them at some point, but hey, I'm an old school romantic, so maybe that's just an issue for me.
If you look in the right places
Intredasting. And on a scale of 1 to Victoria Cakes how big are the booties?
Fricked a short curly haired qt from ghana one time. She was a coworker andwife material but her uncles and brothers were weirdos and some family member wanted to marry her. Was too much bs 4me and i had a gf at the time so i dropped her
>Gays are illegal
I'm not sure if you noticed but /k/ has a lot of gays, beyond just the shills and active service Navy I mean.
Armed gays don't get bashed, after all.
t. straight anon who honestly does not give a shit who or what you want to frick as long as I don't have to see it
It's unavoidable when you have navy gays chiming in their two cents.
Space program when?
