Semenov Dahir Kurmanbievich, the mad-scientist engineer whose work we've been looking at lately, is capable of some seriously outside-of-the-box thinking. His wild design concepts, all of which combine the fantastically improbable with just enough of the hey-that-might-work factor to keep them appealing, run the gamut from the primarily peaceful domestic concepts we've seen so far—folding houses, drive-in supermarkets, dental in-mouth CNC machines—to some terrifying killing machines.
Here Semenov conceives of an airdropped, camouflaged, solar-powered network of tank-destroying ground drones:
Like you, I thought those cylindrical things that were dropped out of the plane first were missiles. The first hint that they're not is this mysterious video showing the depths they can be plunged to depending on the height from which they're dropped:
Further investigation suggests they are some kind of sensor array (Semenov isn't saying on the project page, at least not in a manner that we can decipher):
We've saved Semenov's craziest, most unsettling concept for last. Here we have your next James Bond villain's Earth-controlling device, the only superweapon that comes with two motorcycles:
