Bionix incident

Really a joke. They develop such a vehicle that can't even manoeuvre properly and need the user to be outside to guide???
How to fight a war like that???
Can you imagine soldiers standing outside to guide them in the war zone where bullets are flying everywhere? They are supposed to be built to protect the soldiers from harm.
Ridiculous!
Unnecessary loss of our good sons.

1) The drivers of armor vehicle have limited tunnel vision in the vehicle. Normally, they need a vehicle commander at the top of the vehicle to guide them. In normal safe road condition, no ground crew is required to drive the vehicle around.
2) Ground crew is need to guide vehicle in rough terrain. This is part of TSR (Training Safety Regulation) of SG. Other armor units from other countries have similar regulation.
3) There are no armor vehicle on this planet that will not overturn.

4) Armor vehicle overturned are very common when they are training in rough terrain. During my NS days, I have attended some funerals related to death due to vehicle overturned.
5) If you expect armoured unit to train in flat ground terrain. Then you are unrealistic.
