Russian serviceman demonstrates a radio antenna used by Spetsnaz. “Advanced” technology made by Chinese, you can even measure with it.

  1. I assume Muskovy has no experience with Harbor Freight

  2. It is SO advanced you it will give measurements in inches AND centimeters!

  3. The fact that these retards even brag with this MOST BASIC stuff, just bogles the mind. and then you cant help Imagine what their average stuff must be like if this is high tech for them.

  4. lol I have one of those, it’s a boufeng unit. not bad but not milspec

  5. So did they make a tape measure out of an antenna or an antenna out of a tape measure.
    I get the impression that what the Russian military calls special forces, a NATO military would just call a regular first-line infantry unit.

  6. This makes me very happy. I hope the orcs use this type of equipment all the time. Slava Ukraine.

  7. Thank you for this detailed building plan!

    Now I can build em myself in the garage.

    Maybe I need to take the capacitor from my washing machine? He did not tell..

  8. Oh….did you open that up and check whats in it?…Ooooh…yeah, thats going to void your warrenty. Unlucky.

  9. I know the joke here is about how *advanced* their equipment is. However, did it work? And if it did, shouldn’t people involved be concerned with how cheap and effective it was using scraps?

  10. Well, that’s AliExpress/Alibaba/Temu/Wish for you…..a lesson learned….you don’t get what you paid for.

  12. Is he talking shit or what? I can’t tell, one is sad, the other funny lol.

  15. The longer one for HF is called the Casket Antenna. The UHF 2in model is called the Dicktenna. All based on real life Russian body measurements.

  16. You’d be surprised how often things like this happen in every day things.

    For this situation the same metal used in a tape measure could be exactly what they would use for that antenna. Instead of buying the raw unpainted metal, they were able to get it cheaper by buying the defective paint jobs from the tape measure factory.

    Lots of punching bags are filled with torn up defective clothing. The bag needed to be filled with shredded cloth, and clothing that can’t be sold is cheaper than the cloth the clothing factories buy.

  17. To be fair that is basically the same type of metal that is used in whip antennas.

  18. [Not the first time measuring tapes have been re-purposed!](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=832bfc491017b489&sca_upv=1&q=snap+bracelet+with+measuring+tape+inside&uds=ADvngMibralFLU0LlZ7ZyiPbrbPIJzrspWiI7fsIb26xORXft4PZa6Sip24KK6ONoxYYlJxWn9NgWS_crHrCQJW5ImRq6otyTQlxjeE94uMz2iVQroj-EDkL62PJZFuqng401Ee2U4te8-_ZsD0LMhm_jtpNoCjOU29KySeSCX6LRD5fwfZJJIf-UiUCpFE8itLtbo-Y-EqLB3yJC_5KNRn46nTvuB3g9khSAbOYeX0xXlAAJ12e1qthW1JQFYl90n4yeKIi9wjejqtV0gT4wDX-Jczba_bJ-X_d5adFJZ7azS5JLvGQ2F58W6psWT-My80inFzF-BAgMMh-arpqvjy9eXYr5X8qLe3CS9U51J-J0cJydIprj8I&udm=2&prmd=ivnbmtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjo4Lq_k6eGAxW6QkEAHUoKDWQQtKgLegQIDhAB&biw=1918&bih=1079&dpr=1)

  21. It raises questions…. (how to get involved in this corruption scheme!) XDDD

  22. Question for any service members on here.

    How rugged is your kit? Radios, computers, optics all that stuff? Can you take it apart like that?

  23. Guess the free world isn’t buying their tape measures

  25. So advanced that procuring it, will grant you a yacht with dual helicopter pads, 4 pools and 6 saunas.

  27. It’s really embarrassing for these russian companies can’t produce anything better themselves

  29. Tape measure makes a pretty effective antenna tbh. When cut to the correct length that is. I’ve made a number of tape measure antennas for 2m and 70cm.

  30. This is actually not uncommon and will work fine if tuned properly.

    The garbage that the ham community can make working antennas out of would blow your mind.

    This is just the same thing on an industrial scale.

  31. A google search on “tape measure antenna” reveals a number of hobby projects using the concept, so it’s likely much more credible than first glance would suggest to those of us who know nothing about RF science.
