German Army “Goliath” remote controlled mine. It was a small tracked vehicle controlled via wire by a driver and steered to its objective.

Yip, a pretty effective little dude, however I dont know how well they were used.
Hm… I think that can’t be good use… slow and easy target. In Soviet army this problem was solve with trained dog-kamikadze. Dogs with 4-5 kg of explosive and detonator were sended to enemy’s tanks. Bang! And all was over…
INCREDIBLE! :shock:
thanks 
Oh by the way, if you want to see one of these guys in use, then check here: http://www.angelfire.com/ct3/ww2movies/ there is a video of the Goliath.
yes!,it`s great! 
I love that movie.

Blueprints of Goliath:

But… as I understand it was a big problem because that dogs were used to go under the soviet tanks. (They were trained to find food under the tank).

Correct - the German tanks smelled different to the Russian tanks, so the dogs would run to the smells they recognised.
On the topic of robot tanks - I’m on leave next week, I’ll go to the Royal Armoured Corps museum down the road from where I am and get a picture of the one they have there.
I look forward to see the picture(s) posted!!
actually, the goliath was quite useful, more so on the eastern front. Especially in the battle of kursk, where the goliaths moved into mine fields and detonated the mines so the troops could move through.
the suicide dog, however, had problems. It often blew up friendly tanks… so the dogs proved to be less effective.
:shock: Friendly fire is never good :? But anyway, I believe that the US Police force and the Military incorperates machines like that into our arsenal.
The Germans regularly used remote (robot if you perfer) controlled bombs and aircraft.
do you think it would be better if they used in the following
dont know if the tech is that high yet, but i think it would be better to equip the gloiath tank with a panzerfrust that can automatically reload 4 times. a crew member would able to control the small tank using a camera installed on the tank
No chance for doing this at that time FW!
i expected so, how about putting the panzerfrust on the gloiath instead?
maybe crew can still control it from like 25M away
