Bonus: A ukraine-inspired kazakh attempt at a cage.
>>61476434>russian ERA bricksvs>soviet era brickswhat's better?
>>61476439I don't see any damage where the bricks were.Clearly it just needed better coverage...
Cars. Regular civilian vehicles are increasingly outfitted with both FPV protection and munitions. Example of whacky munitions on a car: mine-laying SUV. https://desuarchive.org/k/thread/61208775

Concrete. Use of concrete and other miscellaneous building materials as addon armor:
>>61476471Most rounds would go straight through one door and out the other.How are they convincing soldiers to ride toward the enemy lines in these?

Vanilla cope. These are your everyday cages, installed on practically all of russia's armored vehicles now. There are 21 of these pics so sit back and relax a while.
>>61476518Same set
Bricks and concrete blocks making a cope comeback huh
>>61476518Tour. This video was exceptionally irritating to webm so I'm just posting a piece of it. Full vid: https://files.catbox.moe/i87hj5.mp4

>>61476471That's a really nice floor.
>>61476488>How are they convincing soldiers to ride toward the enemy lines in these?By beating and raping the ones that don't, same as they've always done.
Thread would be woefully incomplete without representation for the Turtle type cage.Strawpoll: Fence, House, or Shell? Build your ideal cope-type pokemon.
Ukraine is losing to THIS?
>>61476571The ones that made the rounds from combat footage are not even close to the final form https://files.catbox.moe/1emw4c.mp4

LOG out of 10 and 21/21. I'll give it breather before posting bonus content.
>>61476518It detonated through a sunroof!
>>61476568A few days ago, there was a tweet where they posted a Puccian mobik whose face was beaten into raw hamburger for refusing to assault Krynky. That place has become the bogeyman for them. Let me see if I can't pull up a screenie
>>61476712Its got to be the best feeling in the world when you mash the starter and something just goes click click click somewhere in the engine bay
It seems like a lot of these designs would impede any escape if the vehicle were on fire.Is there ANY evidence of them working in any way (other than stopping a vertical grenade drop)?
https://twitter.com/PStyle0ne1/status/1781562612330676489There we go
>>61476751At least he didn't go on the assault.I think?

>>61476439>red Z'sFagner machine?
>>61476625How do you get out from thisAlso nobody posted the drone net on a motorbike? Shame.
>>61476637How the hell do you use the gun in this>>61476747They stop grenades and sometimes some basic RPG-7 rounds.
>>61476434How did SA get roped into BRICS?I almost imagine it's one of the few clubs they got invited to so they just figured 'why not?'
>>61476867Same way Brazil got. They have a problem with socialist governments and politicians taking over the government. They along with the BR socialists, engage in Putin's state capture Mafia State schemes to stay in power perpetually.SA has been under the power of the ANC since the late 1990s...
>>61476823I'm encoding the second batch of stuff. I made a long thread on the motorcycle phenomenon the other week, so I'm not planning to do more with it until there are a bunch of new examples. https://desuarchive.org/k/thread/61383076Bike with net thread (different OP)>>61476765
>>61476434>So what does BRICS stand for?>"stand for?"
>>61476838Some gravel and it'd make a good start on a zen karesansui dry garden
>>61476758He's still alive. For now. So that might be a win
>>61476823get out?
So are we genuinely at a point now where overhead armor at least has some level of value? Like surely there has to be some level of vindication of tanks are coming from the factory with it
>>61477015The closest sucessful use of these for now is the IDF using it in Gaza and that's about it.
>>61476434I don't think this was what they meant by ceramic armor.
thank you for dumping.fascinating vehicles
>>61477032Which was mostly because of the threat posed by Hamas' drones dropping ordnance, not high speed manoeuvring RPGs. Hardkill APS seems to be a must have now, for any armoured vehicle.Surprised this wasn't posted, pretty sure it was the first tank with a roof screen to be destroyed. Was on the Wiki page for spaced armor under "Cope Cage" for a while.
>>61476927I crave her return to the battlefield one day
>>61477049
>>61477049Blessed post
>>61477015Most are placebo. There are times when very bullshitty solutions can be functional. Here, for instance, we have anti-tamper ERA. Likely meant to hinder attempts to destroy the vehicle via drone drops.

>>61477619>punisher patchthey're too stupid to see the irony in this shit right?
>>61476823The front has a doggy door built into it.>>61477062I tend to post new stuff. Slavshit fatigue being what it is.
>>61476488Lots of "don't worry, you will only do transport. Not combat!" followed by commanders at the front saying you will do combat or be shot for insurrection.S-400 battery and 92N6E "Black Pearl" radar with rubberized addon protection. https://files.catbox.moe/b5zjpr.mp4

>>61476866- How do I hammer and sickle comrades?- Da
>>61477637nobody cares about the punisher they just like the cool skull
>>61476471Oof. It has just enough metal to keep the crew inside for the full brazen bull experience. No wonder they drive golf carts. At least in those they can die under a clear sky.
>>61477062The angle on the roof is so stupid. It being horizontal like that and completely flat means it can't protect from anything except straight up.
>>61476679what does the string protect against
>>61477619lmfao
>>61477619>>61478374I see punisher skull with red dyed emo hair

>>61478678>who the fuck still fields those outside of africaWell the Russian army for one.
>>61478741>outside of africa
>>61476434>ceramic armor plates
>>61476434Cool. Russia still advances. Chasov Yar and Kharkov next.
Why wouldn't these work?
>>61478363Primitive contact fuzes
>>61478796retard
>>61476494is this extra fuel to help the fire rise?
>>61476434Has anyone ever sensibily tried using aerated concrete as NERA? Like maybe layers of alu, rubber, aerated concrete in a laminate?
>>61476712fuck it, cope coop.
>>61476451It would be a cargo cult.... Over konrakt-1.The horror. The horror.
>>61476571sloped armor is back on the menu boys
>>61478821Concession accepted. Gorillions for zalinsky to steal won't help by the way.
>>61476869Dude's giving out the "everything will be alright" thumbs up, which means that this season's writers killed him off right after.
>>61478374>Punisher skull>Spartan helmetIt's not just the tech components, even the patch cringe has to be imported from the West.
>>61478846retard
>>61476624I don't recall the war being over
>>61477715I wonder if you could recruit out of Russian prisoners by telling them "you may torture to death any buryat or chechen you capture."
I just wanna buy Low-Buck Garage a ticket to Ukraine when this is over and see what he manages to drag out of the mud and get running using random garbage he found on the ground.
>>61478920you get more bang for buck giving them out clean(ish) heroin or the like as down payment. Killing really is not a thrill for them, just boring busy work at best, somewhat dangerous gang warfare at worst. Which hunting buryats/chechens/whatever churkas would be. its best to think of these prison dynamics that is russian society as bands of nihilistic thugs just one meager famine away from turning into unrestrained cannibals. Which was tested out in practice during the great gulag experiments by Beria
>>61477665how nice of the ziggies to help with geolocking that shit.
>>61476927fat pig

>>61477665>Jack SparrowAh so AA truly is constantly fucking drunk
>>61481024if you got shipped to Ukraine to get blown up by HIMARS, you'd want to be drunk too
>>61476574>>61478796Knocking out Russia's equipment and degrading its capabilities is a part of the Ukrainian strategy. You shouldn't trade quantities with larger enemies and you can't win a modern war without tanks and artillery. Russia won't be able to wage war after it demilitarizes itself during the crippled meatwave pushes in Donbass and will have no other options than glorious capitulation. We went from Kyiv encircled in 1 week to Avdiivka taken in 10 years and from the new TIGR and T-72 to mothballed BMP-1, golf carts and T-64 with bricks instead of ERA so the strategy works well.
>>61478846Yeah I wouldn't worry about it.
>>61478797Why weren't russians doing this if it works well?
>>61477676no shit you triple nigger, god forbid someone makes a joke
>>61481812>Russia won't be able to wage war after it demilitarizes itselfThat's not what's happening, Russian arms production has grown immensely. It produces more than all of NATO combined. >meatwave pushesThat's ukraine kek. We went from summer party in crimea to uhh nothing kek.
>>61481910>Russian arms production has grown immenselyI don't doubt it.>It produces more than all of NATO combined.I doubt it. You don't attach bricks to mothballed BMP-1 when you have new BMP-3 available.>We went from summer party in crimea to uhh nothing kek.You are talking 1 push almost 1 year ago and Ukraine stopped it after reaching unacceptable k/d ratio. On the other hand, Russia never stopped attempts to capture the Donetsk oblast and according to the webms its investment of resources and materials into this front is pretty generous.
>>61481983The last push ukriane did and will ever do, they tried once and they failed kek. You should be watching the miserable state of the ukrianian military, not the Russian one.
>>61482022>did and will ever doYou are too emotionally invested to perform objective analysis.>miserableIt's a quality characteristics and Ukraine has advantage in quality at this moment.
