Ukrainian ingenuity.

Military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to massively drop mini-hedgehogs onto the roads using drones, thereby complicating the logistics of the Russian troops.

Quite an old idea

Edit: post title originally called the caltrops hedgehogs

[–] LittleWizard@feddit.de 16 points 1 year ago

The difference now should be the precision with which they can be distributed behind enemy lines, without the risk of any lifes.

Oh it's like a caltrop, here I was wondering what kind of carnage the cute little animals were supposed to do.

[–] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Title updated to "caltrops"

[–] holycrap@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is hedgehogs a direct translation of the word Ukrainians use for these?

[–] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

The source probably didn't know the technical term. There is a direct translation in Ukranian, ΠšΠ°Π»Ρ‚Ρ€ΠΎΠΏ.

Soon we'll see russians driving mad mqx style trucks with snowplows in front

Plot twist: Russia deploys an army of roombas to collect them.

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Those "roombas" look suspiciously like humans in wheeled vehicles.

[–] Archer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Mines are just Roombas that joined the military

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I think you misspelled "wheelbarrows"
