UAVs Suck: Uber Fat-Tire Grasshopper Lands like a VTOL!

Now imagine the STOL Grasshopper's uber fat tires carried JP-8/diesel FUEL and was nitrogen-inerted...it could land and act as a "fat cow" to refuel other Grasshoppers and/or M113 Gavin light tanks in a Light Mechanized Infantry Rhodesian-style "Fire Force".

In the past, we had fuel bladders that were wheels that could be towed by ground vehicles and STOL Grasshoppers in WW2--that themselves only needed 18 gallons of fuel--could carry a 150 gallon drop tank in the place where a wounded Soldier on a stretcher usually sat, to effect fuel resupply logistics.

Such a "Gavin Force" would exploit the "Killer Bee" effect of having many smaller air and ground platforms working together to achieve greater surveillance, firepower and maneuver effects than a handful of larger, bloated cash-cow platforms military bureaucracies and their egomaniac victim-operators lust for...sometimes LESS is MORE; and ECONOMY with taxpayer dollars can achieve GREATER MILITARY EFFECTS. Especially when fighting against the still very large earth to achieve 24/7/365 coverage that is light enough to prevail in/over even closed terrains:
