    Spaced armour. The blocks under the wiring are explosive reactive armor.

    We can all laugh at how silly this looks, but there's videos of these things taking more than 30 drones.

    Same with the ,,cope cages" everyone was joking about in the early years of the war.

    If it works it ain't stupid, even if it looks ridiculous at first glance.

    Turns out looking cool and kicking ass are not the same thing. Who knew?

    And people really laughed at fucking cages?

    It was used in Afghanistan and let me tell you, a lot worse than 'cope cages' were used.

    I lived with a warpervert (toy lover not vicious monster) for a while. Saw all the kinds of tanks and stuff in use. Had them explained to me past semantic satiation.

    Oh I get that. I was once deeply involved in World War 2 strategy games, including development. I have spent more time reading slope armor debates and suffered enough Clean Wehrmacht myth arguments than a normal healthy mind can (or should) withstand.

    I like to think I closed the loop at myself and didn't subject normies to it.
