The real answer is that they're for laying smoke
The funny answer is that it's similar to russian infantry pulling the pin on a grenade and holding it in their hand when under drone attack. If they're hit their own grenade finishes them off, if not they put the pin back in.

That's just how many languages work:
subject > predicate verb > object/predicative

Many languages also don't use or need to state things "being" something in the sentence (is / are).

ie. Instead of asking "What does Tom think of this?",
non-English people simply ask "What Tom thinks of this?"
>>
>>64434410
its not the pin that sets off the grenade idiot, its the little lever thing on top, the pin just holds it in place, when you pull it out, it falls off, which starts the fuse. You can pull the pin and hold it on to keep the fuse from starting, since you dont want the extremely short timer on your explosive device starting while you're still holding it, only once you've thrown it and you're no longer holding that little lever. If you decide not to throw it and you havent removed that lever piece, you can put the pin back in and it will go back to holding it in place without setting off the bomb.

Trainer anti tank mines are being used as smoke machines.

>>64434371
So in Battlefield 2 there would be a delay for mine to go off for planes as they took off to prevent people from mining airfields but you could get around this by placing the mines directly on the planes themselves; I got so many kills this way and probably was one of the reasons why Battlefield games don't you enter the enemy HQ anymore.

While this is technically correct it should be noted that it is very difficult to replace the pin on the RGD-5 (impossible on some of the older fuse types), so I find stories of soldiers doing it habitually highly doubtful.

My guess about why you always see ESLs do that online is that google and such searches also reinforce it, making it commonly more useful to guess the title of the page with the answer rather than properly ask a question.

In the Russian army inovation is discouraged and opening a propper workshop for making metal houses around their tanks would signal weakness.

Ukraine isn't restrained like that.

When the tank stops you have a choice of waiting while a rain of FPVs hit the tank until one eventually penetrates the crew compartment or jumping out and trying to run to a tree line while dodging a rain of FPV drones.

from the previous thread: those are draining mines that let out smoke, so they are using them as smoke generators.

Russian "non-military" propaganda loooves to bring up PPP and how due to it "we actually live much better than japan or germany, and (almost)exactly as rich as americans! have you ever seen how much they there have to pay for utilities/internet/medicine/education/other services?". And people love to meme about that back. Like this, or some time ago there was a trend of posting mock-"real stories" about how "I asked them in store to ppp-adjust the price of a graphics card/iphone/car/new shoes, and they sold it to me for 1/5th of original price! wow I do love PPP!".

What he said. It has enough merit to not be a complete lie so it's used as an easy excuse.
Do note that a stereotypical non-moscovite russian has not even a concept of abundance, has never been abroad and grew up believing that a comfy life in the west is just movie magic and thus does not even think to generate a desire to make things pretty. The image on the right actually shows desire for self-improvement despite a lack of money. Having a will to emulate something beautiful even in an ironic way is still preferable to not having a will to spend 10 minites to set up a balcony picnic from what you have availible.
Also cardboard is pure and concentrated SMEKALKA.

That's just a handful of languages, and it's far from universal, you dumb cunt. You can usually figure out what country or part of the world people are from based on their broken grammar and syntax.

I am struggling to find a good photo of it, but yes. The 'pin' in the most common Russian grenade fuse type is not a straight pin but rather a piece of wire that's threaded through the spoon and fuse body then wrapped partially around the fuse.

They're called split pin or Cotter pins.
Still very common in various industrial and agricultural applications. They used to be common on automobiles and other vehicles too before the invention of Nylock™ nuts and liquid thread locking compound.

>Mithridatism
>Named after King Mithridates VI of Pontus in northen Anatolia

>"After Pompey defeated him in Pontus, Mithridates VI fled to the lands north of the Black Sea in the winter of 66 BC in the hope that he could raise a new army and carry on the war through invading Italy by way of the Danube.[11] His preparations proved to be too harsh on the local nobles and populace, and they rebelled against his rule. He reportedly attempted suicide by poison, which failed because of his immunity to the substance.[20] According to Appian's Roman History, he then requested his Gallic bodyguard and friend, Bituitus, to kill him by the sword."

Hmmm, yes. There no way this can be considered foreshadowing of ironic demise.

The pin and clip can be returned to a live grenade to render it safe. It is recommended not to keep such a grenade as the pin will not be as secure as it was originally.
