@cnlbenmc there is an old anecdote from the 60-70's:
Border between West and East Germany in the open field.
Out of nowhere a tank bristling with antennas and cameras rides out from western side, crosses the field, makes a loop and goes back. There was alarm, there was small arms fire, there were a few shots, but all missed. Nobody got hurt. Apparently that tank is an unmanned drone. Commander comes in evening and berates everyone.
Next morning same tank reappears with slightly changed equipement arrangement, crosses the border, makes the loop and goes back. Now it got hit a few times, but it didn't care. Commander berates everyone again then gets a call from higher ups berating him.
Next morning situation repeats. More hits, but results are just as empty. A party member arrives and talks to commander.
Next morning is the repeat. Party member observes it and tells something to commander. Commander leaves and returns in the evening in a truck. Hauling an old long barreled high velocity 15cm AA gun. During the night soldiers and sappers construct a position for the beast.
Next morning the tank reappears, crosses the border and vanishes from this Earth. Party members leaves, commander gets a recommendation, soldiers get praised for high readiness and accuracy.
