The US Air Force is planning to use Cybertrucks for target practice

The US Air Force Test Center is looking to acquire two Tesla Cybertrucks to use as targets for precision-guided munitions.
These Cybertrucks are part of a larger order for 33 target vehicles intended for live missile fire testing at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.
The Air Force specifically requested Cybertrucks due to concerns that adversaries might use them on the battlefield, citing their reported resistance to normal damage.
The contract stipulates that the Cybertrucks must be towable, non-functional, and have all fluids drained before delivery.
