so the hope is that the FPV doesnt go off and bounces off or something right? there is no way a pg-7 warhead doesnt penetrate a ural even from a meter standoff

From cope cage to cope hut to cope coop
At this point, all that's left is for a golf cart to end up with one of these
The guy in the red is still alive, and can be seen moving.
the guy in the blue is the one who flew, and i cant tell if he is still moving, or if its the fire on him making it look like he's still alive.
i can only hope that he is still alive.
>i can only hope that he is still alive.
Cruel.
indeed
>Cruel.
Just.
The blue guy actually had his head splattered by the force of the explosion. You can see in mid-air t if you watch the frame by frame
Wow I didn't know porkssia was using Willys Jeeps.
It might take a fair bit of the sting out of it from half a metre, 2ft or so. But the purpose of slatted armour against shaped charge warheads was that they would deform the projectile so it goes 'shit everywhere' instead of forming the big burning jet. The problem is on the drones, they've been messing around with some 3D printed warheads that look even scarier and there's still plenty of PG-VR tandem stuff out there along with the Panzerfausts
That's not slat armor
I know
But don't tell Russia that
A meter of standoff will not have an appreciable effect unless they jet formation is disrupted
I bet people will look at this clown shit in 20 years and cream themselves over how soulful it all was. They'll use different words of course.
"Shan, those cage wheels had DEB, they were stakkin deb. Pure stakt deb."
>stakken deb, pure stakt deb

my-their flanks orbitly
Endut! Hoch Hech!
Worker and Parasite is my favorite animu
the ironic twist is that when they replaced the nose fuze for the DIY friendly wire contacts, even proper slat armor wouldn't achieve the purpose against FPVs
This such a gamble.
Big cage: less chance of being hit.
Big cage: if you are hit, you burn to death in a cage you cannot get out from.
Its just a form of spaced armor. Some drones have shaped charges, some are just plain frag grenades, and with a yard of standoff a frag shouldn't harm the passengers in even a lightly armored vehicle. People get a letterboxed view of this war because of how footage skews things, sure there are fancy custom FPVs around and that footage gets a lot of interest, but the vast majority of kill drones on both sides are still just dropping frags and mortars.
>and with a yard of standoff a frag shouldn't harm the passengers in even a lightly armored vehicle
TIL airburst is harmless
oh man, are we really back onto the 'Those were ukrainian russians' era again? Why do you act like everyone is moronic?
Wow the monkeys put themselves in cages now
>Those are Ukrainians someone with a blue check mark said that on Twitter !!!
so it must be true !!
the notion that it was Ukrainians in a bespoke, lovingly recreated replica Willys MB instead of just russians in a UAZ is probably one of the funniest copes of the war. this was conclusively disproven in the original thread, but that you would attempt it after we now have dozens of videos of russians charging trenchlines in chinese golf carts and urals makes you nothing short of a comedic genius. Bravo sar.
Original slat armor from the Vietnam War through GWOT wasn't about standoff although occasionally that might have helped; it was about crushing or short-circuiting the type of fuze a RGP7 uses, or sometimes distorting the jet if that failed.
So there are a lot of reasons, and misunderstood reasons, a vatnik could have floating around in their mind as they build this stuff.
Yeah I'm sure "jeeps produced for service in WW2" were on the list of aid sent over.
Thank you Ivan for the lil shit nugget of misinformation
is that real?
>soldier of <strike>fortune</strike> luck
AI revolution is truly upon us. AGI in two weeks
I've seen so many russians with torn asses, cant putin at least make some buttplug armor for them?
Tbf it could just be internal bleeding spewing out their asses, but I'm no medical doctor.
Accumulated semen injections (pumped into each other before battle, a nutrition trick invented by Serbs hence their fondness for Muscovite nut custard) are usually digested as they rise into the intestine, but external blast waves overwhelm the sphinctral check valve causing "rosebud blowout".
The worst cases resemble giant red squid. Standard first aid is zip tie then snip the exposed bits to reduce the odds of infection. Traditional red rubber torniquets blend with the injury so it appears like a typical post-bromance prolapse.
Cope.

did you just dig up your random 12 years old minecraft screenshot for this

>its an obscure jeep variant from WW2 instead of one of the most common vehicles in the russian army
hmm yes, seems very likely
Anyone here ever own or drive one? Are they reliable? Performant?
>Are they reliable? Performant?
no
cage is just to keep meat armor in
Finally, someone gets it!
>get attacked
>now instead of only needing to escape a burning vehicle, you have to escape the death cage too
Fricking grim, if anything goes through the survivability went from 10% to 3. And yes, things go through, all you need is 2 drones instead of one, the first suicide bombing itself for an opening
>>get attacked
>>now instead of only needing to escape a burning vehicle, you have to escape the death cage too

Am I the only one starting to think these designs are meant to serve more as a paddywagon than protection? I'd bet if we get a closeup the cages on these urals are locked from the outside.
so say we all
Why don't they just use invisible forcefields?
Bong lasers. Could cause a nuclear chain reaction.
I don't think the net is designed to explode the drone but to capture it.
hopeless
Why do westerners always pretend it's some exclusive russian thing? And that it's bad?
Poor b8 m8
I think that's just shade for the dudes up top. Not meant to stop dronenades.
Correct, quite like the canopies on old naval ships.
that picture was taken nearly a decade ago moron, not designed for FPVs
I mean would you rather have it and look slightly less cool or not and have a higher chance of dying to a $20 chink dropping $5 of explosives on top of you?
Me on left
That would be a good question to ask if these fricking cages worked but they don't. We have video of one just like this getting hit and being set on fire by drones.
You put mobik in cage, mobik doesn't get out till he reaches the front, they work exactly as intended.
... mobik gets roasted
Yes, mobik doesn't get out till he reaches the front.
minced meet
Shit is strange asf. With all this consumer drone technology, how goofy will peer v peer conflict look with the US and say China or some shit. Or US vs any future insurgency overseas?
It just needs to explode then shoot the pieces of the cage which will be molten metal into the vehicle. I've been off for a week. Why are they doing this dumb shit
Surely that's a mobile prison and if it isn't it'll at least soon turn into a immobile coffin.
I'd assume that the purpose is to make it (slightly) harder for fpv drones with shaped charges to hit a specific spot?
Hitting the engine compartment is "easy", when you can just bang your drone into it, but much harder when you have to angle your attack from further away.
it's a truck, not a tank
