Demolition truck (Aftermath)

"AY YI YI!"
 * Soviet GWWIII Demo Truck, going bananas on hostiles

Description
Near the end of the Great World War Two, both the Allied and Soviet forces began development of the Demolition Truck. It was a small, lightly armored, remotely driven truck armed with a nuclear weapon. The goal was to drive the truck to a target, at which point the bomb would explode. The weapon was of similar design to the nuclear warheads launched from missile silos, and thus similar blast yields were often the result.

During the Great World War II the truck's unstable nature caused it to explode if a commander attempted to use the Chronosphere to transport it. The Iron Curtain effect only lasted a split second on the nuclear weapon, presumably because of interactions between the incredible energy of a nuclear bomb and the similarly incredible energies of the Iron Curtain. However, these problems were overcome by the time of Great World War III.

During GWWIII, Libya employed the Demolition Truck again, although instead of using an AI to drive it they had a fanatic for the communist cause manually drive the truck to its destination.

Counters
Due to the nature of the mobile weapon, the nuclear warhead on board was always armed. This often meant that if the truck was hit by an air strike, or otherwise destroyed, the bomb would explode. Many foolish commanders lost their bases when they failed to move the truck out of harm's way in time; nuclear weapons caught in enemy attacks were quickly exploded.

During the Great World War III Libya's Demolition truck proved to be of little use against Yuri because of his mind control technology, turning the driver against his comrades in an instant. Fortunately, many Soviet commanders found a solution in the upgraded Iron Curtain, which often blocked this mind control effect long enough for the driver to complete his mission.

Usage
These were used to take out large numbers of enemy forces together, particularly infantry. Nuclear weapons of only 1-kiloton yield (which were in use at this point), did little against extremely well armored vehicles and structures. During Great World War III it was used in combination with the Iron Curtain to deliver an unstoppable and deadly attack.

These trucks are not known to be employed during World War III, as nuclear weapons no longer exist.
