China Develops Helmets for Soldiers With Self-Destruct Button: Report
The Chinese military is equipping soldiers stationed in Tibet with newly developed helmets embedded with a self-destruct button.
The button triggers an embedded bomb to go off, killing the soldier.
At a battalion or brigade level command center, a commander monitors a soldier who is far away by using the navigation system. The commander can activate the self-destruct function of the soldier s helmet if he can t get in contact with him, state-run media China Observer reported on Dec. 27, 2020.
Soldiers can also press the button themselves. If a soldier is seriously wounded and doesn t want to be captured, he can activate the self-destruct function himself. This can maintain his dignity, as well as prevent the enemy from obtaining this system, the report stated.
I surprised George Lukas didn’t think of this.
