Is this the Russian equivalent of the Toyota Inshallah?

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 23 points 5 months ago

This joke would easily land you in Hague for how murderous it is.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

I am not a signatory to the Geneva Convention.

[-] teft@lemmy.world 66 points 5 months ago

You guys remember /r/shittytechnicals? Maybe we should start /r/shittyreactivearmor.

[-] JustUseMint@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago

Lol they already have shitty ERA remember the posts from like a year ago about the ERA being replaced by cardboard or something lmao

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

I think it was rubber sheets.

[-] Hikermick@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Plywood I think

[-] _dev_null@lemmy.zxcvn.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

Give /c/NonCredibleDefense a go, not too active, but some real bangers when they come through.

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 46 points 5 months ago

He looks so happy that he's about to die

There are literally dozens of us.

It looks like an ai created it. Looks like a tank if you squint, but look closer and it’s just random bullshit layered over itself

[-] MaxVoltage@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Fake news comrade only the otherside makes Ai propaganda /s

[-] Lev_Astov@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

It's a mirrored image of a line of MT-LBs with a crude pillbox on top, or ZU-23-2 AA guns on the back ones. I guess the pillbox is better than those awful turrets?

[-] Jaysyn@kbin.social 21 points 5 months ago

Future crematoriums / coffins.

[-] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

The poor engineers getting yelled at for not producing enough tanks just decide to build from WW1 blueprints using sheet metal and a lada engine. Probably runs on vodka

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 19 points 5 months ago

Probably runs on vodka

That's the way to guarantee it would never have sufficient fuel.

[-] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

But it's also a way to guarantee that soldiers and technicians won't mind working on and with it. Just look at the Tu-22

[-] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

It's an excuse to bring more vodka. "Da, commander. Running on vodka means the fuel will never freeze! ~because we'll drink it too fast~

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Put it in H!

[-] Earthprototype@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago

Not even worth the mines they're going to blow onto...

[-] vexikron@lemmy.zip 16 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Is... is the thing in front a ... an MT-LB, with basically a bunch of random crap taped onto it, and because the turret doesnt turn, they took out the gun ... and built what i can only describe as the hobo version of a machine gun pit for a Dshk ... on top of it?

Good fucking god. Hobo-ified MTLB.

EDIT: Derp, I mean MT-LB, originally had a stroke and confused the btr 60 with that.

[-] Geobloke@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

I think that's a few pallets strapped down with some roofing and filled with filler foam

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

Don't you mean "reactive armor"?

(Lulz. It'll react to an RPG in the same way a sheet of paper reacts to a bullet.)

[-] CJOtheReal@ani.social 15 points 5 months ago

First one looks like a literal flakpanzer 1 with some makeshift scrap metal armor...

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 months ago

Honestly, what IS under there?

[-] CJOtheReal@ani.social 8 points 5 months ago

Probably a BMP with a shitty technical gun.

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Looks pretty narrow for a BMP though?

[-] CJOtheReal@ani.social 2 points 5 months ago

Hm, i mean the two other vehicles look like BMPs as well, so idk

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Fair point, the ones behind definitely are.

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 5 months ago

Cope vehicles.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

They are future shrapnel.

[-] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

I believe they are grandpa's mobile bunker

[-] mcqtom@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago
[-] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

These things were designed by Fred Flintstone

[-] _xDEADBEEF@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
