Ukrainian ingenuity.

Quite an old idea

Edit: post title originally called the caltrops hedgehogs

[-] LittleWizard@feddit.de 16 points 8 months ago

The difference now should be the precision with which they can be distributed behind enemy lines, without the risk of any lifes.

Oh it's like a caltrop, here I was wondering what kind of carnage the cute little animals were supposed to do.

[-] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 16 points 8 months ago

Title updated to "caltrops"

[-] holycrap@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Is hedgehogs a direct translation of the word Ukrainians use for these?

[-] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 4 points 8 months ago

The source probably didn't know the technical term. There is a direct translation in Ukranian, Калтроп.

Plot twist: Russia deploys an army of roombas to collect them.

[-] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 16 points 8 months ago

Those "roombas" look suspiciously like humans in wheeled vehicles.

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Mines are just Roombas that joined the military

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I think you misspelled "wheelbarrows"
