Lockheed-Martin ARES and the new way to think in the military world have brought the new kind of threat and capacity for airstrikes. The ARES system is meant for carrying for equipment like ammunition and Humwee-cars for troops, but it can also equip with rocket- or missile launchers, and it can be used in airstrikes. That ARES system carries quite large payloads, and that system is capable to carry the nuclear weapons to the targets. In this case, the similar system, what ARES is only taking nuclear weapons in the place, where the cargo is normally taken, and the weapon is ready to use.
But also the conventional strike of that system would be devastating. The thing, what would happen if this kind of systems is in use the remote-control Humwee as the car bomb, what can be dropped as an example near the target, like in the runway, near the bunker of aircraft, what is targeted for strikes. And then the car bomb would be driven in the bunker, and the explosion would be quite devastating. The delivering of that system would happen by using cargo-planes, and if that happens in the middle of an air strike, the delivering of that weapon might leave without notice, and then the results would be horrible.
There are planned to make also the nuclear version of this kind of device. In some simulations, an attacker would use this kind of extraordinary weapon against commanding bunkers. The drone would bring the car, what is equipped with the nuclear detonator near the entrance of the bunker during the airstrike, and then the device would be exploded in the entrance tunnel. In this case, the nuclear weapon would act the way, what nobody expected. That kind of remote-controlled cars and car bombs can cause very bad losses and damages for ground troops if they explode in the wrong place.
