How about Idea

[Turtle]

Roger that nine. Guess you got a free clue.

Hint 9) It is not an idea, or anything ephemeral. This is a physical "thing" put together by humans of various physical "things".

Hint 10) It is not a tank, but tank has too many connotaions to derive a singular new clue.

At least you are all getting it right by guessing four-letter words.GETE
