  1. Shhh. Don’t interrupt your enemy when he’s making a mistake.

  2. Several groups from Middle East are filing copyright claims as we speak.

  3. To quote an Ukrainian philosopher speaking at the beginning of the larger-scale invasion : “we’re very lucky they’re so fucking stupid”.

  4. It’s useless and a waste of ~perfectly good~~ **ok probably poor condition** ERA bricks but less actively harmful than it looks.

    ERA is pretty insensitive so anything spicy enough to trigger them would probably already be turning everyone into Good Russians^TM

  5. Just wait until our reactive body armor comes out. Checkmate.

  6. Aren’t ERAs specifically to defeat penetrative anti-tank explosives as well? So an RPG wouldn’t have penetrated a tank anyways, it’s the ATGMs they are trying to protect against? I’m not an expert so I’m legitimately curious.

  7. STFU

    Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

  8. Florks doing some deep deception for the SBU. And I’m here for it. 🙂

  9. Yes explodes in the parking lot by an entire battalion.

  10. I think this is mostly a non-issue. Anything big enough to set off the ERA is big enough to zap the truck anyway and probably the ERA is only marginally more dangerous to those around it with the additional shrapnel formed. Machine gun and smaller cannon rounds won’t set it off mostly. (Sloppy research indicates it needs to be about 30mm or so, but take it for what it’s worth.) It’s much ado about not much…but not exactly nothing.
