Mustn't forget the other bigger guys... The majority of the trucks used for the Polish invasion were General Motors and Ford products; the Opel Blitz truck.

GM was the largest auto manufacturer in Germany at that time, Ford was quite big too.

I never knew radar detection was much in the mix in battlefield stealth tactics.
I would have thought it would be more like in priority:
a. Visual
b. trajectory location
c. Infared
d. acoustic
e. radio triangulation
f. radar

Maybe that is why it was one of a kind and remained only a concept?
But it looks cool. :lol:

Abrams tanks use a phased array radar to seek out targets. And tanks don't just battle other tanks; radar signal reduction is also useful to evade incoming anti-tank missiles and drones. Russia's T-14 tank is built to confuse radar signals to make it look like something else, so this Polish design doesn't seem that unusual.
 
Seems the time-honored method of radio/radar silence is lost with active use of radar, and of course the benefit of element of surprise.
I guess it is a pick your poison decision.
