EPISODE #001:"DEATH RACE: HOW F1 BUILT A TANK THAT FLIES OVER SWAMPS"

"Imagine: a Formula 1 car, but with a cannon, armor, and a mission to destroy the enemy — before they hear your engine. This isn't fantasy. This is the CV90. And it's already on the battlefield."

CLASSIFIED REPORT #05.22.25

(Classification: EYES ONLY — level "for those who understand: war is now a race for survival")

2025. Sweden. BAE Systems secretly integrates Formula 1 technologies into the CV90 infantry fighting vehicle. The result? A tank capable of reaching 70 km/h on swamps, "reading" terrain in real-time, and maneuvering under fire like a racing car on the Monaco circuit. The first tests shocked the military: "This isn't a machine. It's a beast with intelligence."

TECH-THRILLER: "F1 ON THE BATTLEFIELD — ENGINEERS REWROTE THE RULES OF WAR"

What Was Discovered / What Happened

• BAE Systems hired former Formula 1 engineers — those who tuned cars for Red Bull, McLaren, and Ferrari.
• Goal: Transfer dynamics, suspension, and aerodynamics technologies to the CV90 combat platform.
• Result: The fastest IFV in off-road conditions — 70 km/h on mud, swamps, and forests. For comparison: standard IFVs barely reach 40–45 km/h.
• The machine received "intelligent suspension" — with sensors and algorithms that adapt to terrain in real-time.

How It Works

"It's like a 'smart' Formula 1 car learned to wage war."

• Suspension with "brains" — like an F1 car: scans the surface, predicts bumps, instantly redistributes load. The crew isn't shaken — they sit like in a sports car on the autobahn.
• Center of gravity — lower than a Lamborghini's — due to mass redistribution according to the principle "every gram in its place."
• Aerodynamics? Yes, for a tank. Optimized body reduces air resistance and improves cooling — critical during long sprints.
• Engine + transmission — upgraded according to F1 principles: quick response, maximum output, minimal losses.

"The CV90 doesn't drive — it 'reads' the ground and chooses the optimal trajectory, like a pilot on a track. Only instead of a pit stop — reloading the cannon."

Why This Changes the Rules of the Game

• Tactical revolution: the machine can burst onto the enemy's position before they can aim.
• Survivability: maneuverability = evasion from ATGMs and artillery. The faster you move — the harder you are to kill.
• Psychological effect: the enemy expects a "slow tank" — but gets an adrenaline monster that appears out of nowhere.
• The crew doesn't get tired — less shaking = more concentration = higher shooting accuracy and decision-making.

"War is no longer about 'who has stronger armor.' Now it's about 'who is faster with their brain and suspension.' The CV90 is the first step toward the 'sports army of the future.'"

HIDDEN CONTEXT: "DID THE SIMPSONS WARN US?"

"Season 6, Episode 12: 'Team Homer.' Homer accidentally creates a bowling team using racing technologies — and beats everyone.

In 2025 — F1 engineers create a combat machine using racing technologies — and redefine war.

Coincidence? Or did someone in Springfield know: the next world war wouldn't start on the front — but on the racetrack?"

STATISTICS / FACTS OF THE DAY

▶️ Max off-road speed: 70 km/h (IFV record)

▶️ Center of gravity: 18% lower than the previous version

▶️ Suspension: Adaptive, with real-time AI algorithms

▶️ Acceleration 0–50 km/h: Less than 6 seconds (like a BMW M3)

▶️ Armament: 35-mm or 50-mm cannon + ATGMs

▶️ Crew: 3 + 8 infantrymen

▶️ Test nickname: "The Swamp F1"

THE CHOICE IS YOURS 

If you commanded an army — would you put thousands of these "racing tanks" on the assembly line?

Or is this a dangerous precedent — when war turns into a race where the winner isn't who's right, but who's faster?

— The choice is yours

P.S.
They took technologies created to win on the track.
And turned them into weapons to win on the battlefield.
The next step?
Perhaps — drone races against fighters.
Or AI pilots in tanks.
You're not in the game yet?
You already are.
From the very first episode.

Rheinmetall is developing the world's first digital modular combat vehicle of the future

Digital transformation of armored vehicles: from idea to production

The American Rheinmetall company, a subsidiary of the German Rheinmetall concern, announced the development of the world's first fully digital modular combat vehicle. This project marks the transition from traditional design to a system based on digital counterparts and open architectures, which could dramatically change the face of future ground combat platforms.

The new concept aims to create not just a machine, but a flexible, scalable and constantly updated combat system.

Modular approach with Open Systems (MOSA)

The central element of the development was the principle of MOSA (Modular Open Systems Approach), a modular approach with open systems. It allows you to integrate various components — from fire control systems to armor and power plants — as "blocks" that can be quickly replaced, upgraded or adapted to a specific mission.

Thanks to the open interface, the platform is compatible with a wide range of weapons and electronics from different manufacturers, which increases flexibility and reduces dependence on a single supplier.

Virtual prototyping and accelerated development

The key innovation is the use of a complete digital model that covers the entire life cycle of the machine, from initial requirements to the assembly process. This model allows you to conduct virtual tests, optimize the design and identify potential problems long before creating a physical prototype.

"The digital model includes everything. It starts with the requirements and runs through the entire architecture of the vehicle, affecting all aspects, including the assembly process itself," said Ruben Burgos, Director of Programs at American Rheinmetall.

This approach reduces development time, reduces costs, and increases the reliability of the final product.

A platform ready for the evolution of decades

The company emphasizes that the goal is not a single model, but the creation of a long—term platform capable of developing over decades. Thanks to its digital base and modularity, the combat vehicle will be able to adapt to new threats, integrate advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and laser weapons.

This project can become the basis for future vehicles that the US Armed Forces and their allies will use in conditions of hybrid and high-tech conflicts.
