The U.S. Air Force has sought to purchase 33 Tesla Cybertrucks for munitions training by the Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). The Cybertruck was chosen due to its durability, believed to withstand impacts better than typical vehicles. Government filings indicate that the Air Force anticipates that enemy forces may use similar vehicles, necessitating realistic testing. Despite searching for alternatives, the military found none that matched the Cybertruck's unique capabilities, underscoring its significance in this context.
In the operating theatre, it is likely [that] the type of vehicles used by the enemy may transition to Tesla Cyber trucks as they have been found not to receive the normal extent of damage expected upon major impact. Testing needs to mirror real-world situations.
One filing said that the Cybertruck is simply more capable than typical vehicles. The government believes Cybertrucks would be used by enemy forces because of their proven durability against gunfire.
