Russia making the same mistake we made in Vietnam, thinking it'll be a conventional war. Nobody fights conventionally on their own turf.

Them's the good ones right there. God speed

Caltrops on chains! Brilliant!

this might be the only thing that hurts worse than Lego when you step on it

Caltrops

Those are big d4s

Has putain skipped to the part where he shoots himself in his bunker yet? If he could hurry it that hell up, that would be nice...

I dunno if caltrops are effective against treads...
AlmightyDiapahbetusGarlicGerbil
I can't imagine the pain of get whipped by that.
BernieMittens
FUCK YEAH
lokijs
Paint the chains black, harder for enemy to spot them.
imnotthatblonde
or just soot them up with a torch

Heckin' Hezhacki!

Maybe don’t give out the name of the shop making these. A simple google and the baddies have lat/long.
DunnowForgot
Ukrainian shops all over the place are making them, just like it won't do much good to know where the molotovs are made. They're everywhere.
MelismaGoodberry
OP is doomed either way. If they didn’t… people’d be clanging over “sauce” instead
ThisIsWhyIimgur
Do you hide these under dirt or somethinthg? Wont they see the steel and get out and move this off the road?
sirinigo
Hey, stopping the convoy and getting them out of the APC is a solid first and second step to being able to shoot them!

Note that they're made out of hollow tubing, not solid. This defeats self-healing tires (assuming there's an opening for the air to escape)
CanuckleheadChick
This reminded me of playing jacks.
Fredfinks
While we go 'hell yeah' & we want russian vehicles stopped, its goddamn shame that we do this to one another. Is it worth it at all putin?

The easy, snarky, cynical answer is "as long as his personal assets aren't touched... then, yes"
hypermarv123
This is ridiculous... just make IEDs!!!
imnotthatblonde
that takes different resources and skills... that shop has skill at metalwork and those are effective
hypermarv123
anyone can make IEDs
imnotthatblonde
takes a bit more skill than you realise to make something actually effective
Randomice
Hollow ones. Those work very well.
Thornaxe
The problem I see is that that shop can probably turn out 50 to 100 of the solid ones for every one hollow one.
AtomicChipmunk
I was seeing all the solid ones thinking... I'm not sure you understand what the goal is. I like these tho.
Daarst
Solid ones will still fuck up a tire, just hollow ones let the air out much faster.
azzabat
Also those caltrops/chains will still bugger up track linkages and be a bugger to get out.
Daarst
I was just thinking the chain was for ease of deployment, I didn't even think about the effect on tracks and axles.
AtypicalMammal
A lot of military vehicles have self inflating tires that can compensate for a normal puncture. Not for these bad boys tho
tsuelue
Nice, every day I learn something new! ^^
GadenKerensky
These likely won't destroy tyres unless a vehicle is caught in an ambush. HOWEVER, it is a small impediment, on top of hundreds of small >
GadenKerensky
impediments. It can make a convoy vulnerable, force a route change, or just ANNOY an invader. And annoying an invader is worthwhile.
drmuelr
Effective long-term resistances sap invaders' resources & resolve by making everyday operations annoying - especially their logistics.
GadenKerensky
And unwelcome. Make every day uncomfortable for them, never let them feel like they can relax. Even simple contempt in interaction, as long>
GadenKerensky
as they don't seem ready to do you harm there and then. Of course, whatever you are willing to endure fighting invaders, is up to you.
Grudgebearingmidget
Speaking as someone that conducted Route Clearance in Afghanistan this ain't wrong. The fear and not knowing where the threat was next 1/?
Grudgebearingmidget
Was absolutely terrifying and mentally exhausting, we constantly had to re-learn how we did our operations despite regular routes 2/?
Exdeath5000
Love to see those chains get all wrapped up in a Russian tank's tracks
Sen7ryGun
Doesn't look heavy enough to slow down a tank. Will absolutely stop anything with tyres though.
ReneDeGames
They aren't gonna do much to a tank I would guess.
CaptainKarver
It's enough to throw a track, which is enough to stop a tank.
khold90
The spikes won't do too much, the chain will get tangled up like a mofo.
Hobbsrox
Won't stop a tank but they'll stop the tanks fuel truck pretty easily
imnotthatblonde
you may be surprised if that gets tangled and pulled into wheel brarings, those assemblies are remarkably fragike
dogmatix
any vehicle with tracks is susceptible to shit getting tangled up in them. They're good vs mud, notsomuch against wire/chains etc apparently
tlamstrike
Yup, this shit will stop you good.
Ralter3
"Dammit, Carl."
Argo2000
I suspect it can keep on driveing until the wire tears, they stop just because by that time it will be dragged and make a mass everywere...
tlamstrike
You get too much of that wire between the road wheels and the track you'll end up throwing the track- then you're really in for it.
