سلام.
چند وقت پیش در یکی از تاپیک ها گفتم که اطلاعاتی از یک خودرو کنترل از راه دور جنگ جهانی دوم که مال آلمان بود قرار میدم.
من در اینترنت گشتم و بعد از یه دور کامل در اینترنت!(زیاد گشتم)بالا خره اسم این خوردو(مین)رو پیدا کردم و بعد از ویکی پدیا اطلاعاتی پیدا کردم در موردش ولی در توانم نبود به طور کامل به فارسی ترجمش کنم.اینجا میذارم اگر کسی در توانش بود لطفا ترجمه کنه.

Goliath tracked mine
The Goliath tracked mine - complete German name: Leichter Ladungsträger Goliath (Sd.Kfz. 302/303a/303b) - was a remote controlled German-engineered demolition vehicle, also known as the beetle tank to Allies.
Employed by the [External Link Removed for Guests] during [External Link Removed for Guests], this [External Link Removed for Guests] vehicle was approximately 4 feet (1.2 m) long, 2 feet (0.61 m) wide, and 1 foot (0.30 m) tall. It carried 75–100 kilograms (170–220 lb) of [External Link Removed for Guests] and was intended to be used for multiple purposes, such as destroying tanks, disrupting dense infantry formations, and demolition of buildings and bridges
Development and use
In late 1940, after recovering the prototype of a miniature tracked vehicle developed by the French vehicle designer [External Link Removed for Guests] from the [External Link Removed for Guests], the Wehrmacht's ordnance office directed the Carl F.W. [External Link Removed for Guests] automotive company of [External Link Removed for Guests], [External Link Removed for Guests] to develop a similar vehicle for the purpose of carrying a minimum of 50 kg of explosives. The result was the SdKfz. 302 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug, ‘special-purpose vehicle’), called the Leichter Ladungsträger (‘light charge carrier’), or Goliath, which carried 60 kg of explosives. The vehicle was steered remotely via a joystick control box. The control box was attached to the Goliath by a triple-strand cable connected to the rear of the vehicle, for transmitting power to the electric driven version. Two of the strands were used to move and steer the Goliath, the third was used for detonation. The Goliath had 650 m of cable. Each Goliath was disposable, being intended to be blown up with its target. Early model Goliaths used an electric motor but, as these were costly to make (3000 Reichsmarks) and difficult to repair in a combat environment, later models (known as the SdKfz. 303) used a simpler, more reliable gasoline engine.
Goliaths were used on all fronts where the Wehrmacht fought, beginning in spring 1942. They were used principally by specialized [External Link Removed for Guests] and [External Link Removed for Guests] units. Goliaths were used most notoriously in the [External Link Removed for Guests] of 1944, as Wehrmacht and [External Link Removed for Guests] units were deployed to crush fierce Polish resistance by the Polish Home Army ([External Link Removed for Guests]). As the Poles had only a small number of antitank weapons, volunteers were often sent to cut off the command cables of the Goliath before it reached its intended target.[SUP][[External Link Removed for Guests]][/SUP] A few Goliaths were also seen on the beaches of [External Link Removed for Guests] during [External Link Removed for Guests], though most were rendered inoperative due to artillery blasts severing their command cables.
Although a total of 7,564 Goliaths were produced, the single-use weapon was not considered a success due to the high unit cost, low speed (only just above 6 mph, or 9.5 km/h), poor ground clearance (just 11.4 centimeters), vulnerable command cables and thin armour which failed to protect the remote bomb from any form of antitank weapons. However, the Goliath did help lay the foundation for post-World War II advances in remote-controlled vehicle technologies
Surviving examples
Surviving Goliaths are preserved at the [External Link Removed for Guests], [External Link Removed for Guests], the [External Link Removed for Guests] and [External Link Removed for Guests] in the UK, Dutch Cavalry Museum, [External Link Removed for Guests] in Belgium, the [External Link Removed for Guests], [External Link Removed for Guests], [External Link Removed for Guests], the [External Link Removed for Guests] in Germany and the Musée du Débarquement Utah Beach in Normandy, France
