The Russians are increasingly “sheathing” their tanks and infantry fighting vehicles with wires made of unbraided metal cables. Their length is 80 cm. It is claimed that about 900 such “brooms” are used for one armored vehicle. Published 30.10.2025

  1. Well, time to drop antitank mines with a drone again. See if that is stopped by the wires.

  3. Do any of these vehicles survive long enough at the front for the engineer who spent like weeks welding this shit together to say it was worth it?

  5. A little brick of C4 dropped from a drone is going to make all of this completely useless. Or a mine. Or a direct hit from a shell. Hell I bet one FPV hitting these bundles of wire would take care of a good grip of them in one area and then other FPVs just pile on. This shit isnt stopping drones. Not when Ukraine has millions and millions of them sitting around.

  6. Run that fucker through some of that sticky Ukrainian mud and see what it weighs then. Might not even have to bother immobilizing it, probably just sink on its own.

  7. Send in the A-10 already, for fuck sake.

    ETA: Apparently I’m an idiot about the capabilities of the A-10. Damn.

  8. To be fair, well executed this could work. The well executed part is the tricky one.

  9. Tanks can’t capture the point by standing near its flag. How to protect infantry?

  10. 1. Wouldn’t an EFP munition simply go right through it all and out the other side?
    2. Wouldn’t an HE munition just cause the cable to become shrapnel?

  11. Anything to create a stand off distance between the hull and a charge I guess

  12. Lots of lovely spikey shrapnel for the dismounting Orcs

  13. It’s the first sign that you are part of the 2nd best Army in Ukraine

  15. Crude, yes; primitive, yes. But when it’s the best option you have, you go with it 😁

  16. These drastic measures taken by Russian forces go to show how fucking effective Ukraine is with using drones to supplement their disadvantage with numbers in their military. They found the way to combat a larger force while taking minimum casualties. It’s honestly fucking super impressive and efficient as fuck. Slava Ukraine.

  18. The have that : middle earth/mad max ingenuity. To bad that they are fighting modern armies.

  19. Ngl that’s pretty creative, russkies please keep wasting valuable time making these

  21. Dont know how many Javelins the Ukrainians still have but pretty sure they blow the crap out of this.

  22. This the kinda tank Gaijin be adding to a summer event or something

  24. Ok, that is cool looking. I’d be fine with that for modern systems

  27. next thing they will weld the tank hatch shut until the final victory

  28. Right in time for mud season! Can’t imagine where it’d go wrong. Probably makes it easier to get the troops out of it quicker, too

  34. And a dropped thermite charge will melt through this, the hull, etc. It’s a stopgap solution for an ever evolving war.

  35. Imagine tripping and falling face first into one of these

  36. Nothing but some thin wire cage protecting the back, you know the part where the troops come from…. lmfao.

  37. Clearly they must take about ten minutes to mount and dismount that thing; putting the main gun into action is impossible.

  39. Nobody could have ever imagined a tank like that before this war started

  42. As dumb as it looks it could just be super effect to be real. I saw a turtle tank covered in barbwire and like chain length fence and there was like 4 unexploded drones stuck in it. Some of this ridiculous looking shit is effective

  43. A possibly unintended side of this will be that if a fiber optic fpv drone misses and has to come in for another pass, this may break the cable

  44. time for the thermite showers again?
    and no need shower from high above- since how is the brave russian solider going to defend when je cant see nor fire in an upwards direction.

    So the thermite shower will be more like a thermite enema to flush the sht out

  45. It’s won’t matter. Ukraine is the graveyard of the Russian Federation, just as Afghanistan was the graveyard of the Soviet Union.
