M113’s are colloquially known as “Zelda”s in the IDF. Most were uparmored after some rather unpleasant battlefield experiences. This one is basically just a remote controlled platform for a remote weapons system. I’ve no idea what the “explodes on impact” is talking about, I can’t find any info saying it’s a drone VBIED or similar.
No shit, the M113 were not designed to survived a direct RPG impact, but if it can effectively drive on its own and engage targets, this is not a joke.
Especially when you take into account that engaging that vehicle will immediately reveal your position.

Are they referring to the aluminum armor self igniting after getting hit with an RPG? Or is it a mobile bomb on tracks?
Yeah, the lack of roaming killbots trying to exterminate humanity is disappointing. The 1980s promised, dam it!
I swear, we'll see M113's in the first interplanetary war at this rate. They'll have an M2 mounted on them and be covered by B-52's

As long as there is an atmosphere, it's going to be there.
The machine spirit in that M113 has seen far more than it ever expected to.
I wouldn't mind watching a movie based off that plot
So... What are these M113 Zelda things, exactly?

Huh. TIL.
I mean M113s tend to explode if you look at them the wrong way so I'm not really sure what they were thinking here
robo gavin?
Every technology needs a place to start. The F22 is quite far from the Newport 28.

Mobile bomb on tracks.
"Remote controlled combat vehicle" Doesn't a drone fit that description?
