  Great idea !!!
  
  When this hybrid remote controlled tank run out of ammo, it can be driven straight up to the enemy position, and be detonated to destroy itself and the enemy position as would be in a suicidal self-destroying attack.
  
  It probably will allow for one operator to handle up to five remote controlled hybrid tanks, similar to the Apache Helicopter Long Bow radar system tracking multiple targets and selecting the ten most likely and best optimal targets to be attacked. This is similar to the computerised targetting and attacking system found in the F-16 C/D.

  The suicidal approach to self-destruct at the enemy's congregated position is probably incorporated into the hybrid tank design.
  
  How else can one explain the need for the black kevlar bullet proof material used as the skin for this hybrid tank, when no one is to be found in this remote controlled tank ?
  
  The kevlar armour is probably to protect the on board ammo and the packed suicidal self-destruct explosives, and prevent their premature explosion from enemy fire.

  New exotic technology will result in a smart round that seeks the hidden enemy, and which will be able to identify 'friend' from 'foe'.
  
  Such a round can be fired from a calibre to be fired from an infantry rifle, or a bigger calibre to be fired from a bigger tank or artillery gun.
  
  Exotic weapons will result in the detection of men and equipment that can no longer be concealed safely.
