Rusty nail in the road might do 'em in. Wonder if that armor over the wheels extends below the rim... Flat tire(s) could leave them high and dry...
If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my children will have peace.

It shouts "Hit me!" They might as well just paint a big bullseye on the side and park it on the road where they can ambush people trying to mess with it.

Using Cameras for vision and using Joystick to control your main Machine guns is not bad for farmers to build.
Making a car or truck bullet proof and shrapnel proof is not bad at all. This is not an Assault vehicle, this a taxi in war Zone, Have you heard of M-113?
It is the Taxi for your US gringos.
