minus-squareBipta@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up14·1 year agoUkraine used cruise missiles to attack a Russian submarine today. Russia has been putting tires on their aircraft to protect them from drone strikes.
minus-squareblanketswithsmallpox@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 year agoThank you! Does it even work? Wouldn’t larger blasts if they manage to get through a silo of tires be even more contained then making the damage worse? I’m thinking packing C4 with sandbags for breaching kinda thoughts.
minus-squareCanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoIt’s a single layer of tires, so blast protection is minimal. The main theory is that it’s a form of camouflage against AI systems or IR cameras.
I don’t get it?
