Polaris bought this technology almost a year ago. As of the third quarter of 2012, articles appeared in which the head of the development department talked about shooting one with a .50 cal bullet and then driving on it for 6,000 miles. The "AK-47" comment seems to be something that FOX News added; it's not in any of the other quotes except those that appear to be Fox affiliates, and it wasn't attributed to a Polaris official. -- Ed Huntress |

A 50 caliber round would happily go through the wheen, the hub and maybe even the axle. It didn't sound like they were shooting through the axle. g Look up the stories published when Polaris was first pushing the military use of their new tire, last fall. Here's one: http://www.airless-tire.com/?p=428 Here's another: http://www.outdoorlife.com/articles/...-non-pneumatic It sounded like they were going for an impressive demonstration of how immune the tread and the actual tire, or what would be the "tire," can be to military threats. -- Ed Huntress |

Perhaps the reporter confused .50 with 5.45? And that would be AK-74 Do you really expect reporters to differentiate AK-47, AKM, AK-74, MAK-90? After Desert Storm I visited an air show with captured Iraqi equipment on its second day. While I was examining a jet the airman watching over the area came up and asked me if I knew what it was. I recognized the writing on it as Hungarian and emphasized that aspect, assuming everyone connected to the USAF would know the general model. But no, I was the first person in two days to identify it as a MiG-21. The tires on the ZU-23 were sized in inches and marked "Made in Moscow" in the Roman alphabet. http://web.bg.uw.edu.pl/welw/militar...23/zu-23_3.jpg |

I'd stay out of the mud with those tires, especially sticky mud. Once the mud works into the open areas, the tire will become one with the mud. Wayne D. |

... What I really miss is when on air news people were chosen for their knowledge and ability instead of how good they looked on camera. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_News_(film) It explores the tension between a professional journalist (Brooks) and a pretty face (Hurt), both competing for air time. Read the comments under Internet news stories to see how the audience responds. Intelligence is rare. |
