Ukrainian ingenuity.

Military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to massively drop mini-hedgehogs onto the roads using drones, thereby complicating the logistics of the Russian troops.

Quite an old idea

Edit: post title originally called the caltrops hedgehogs

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.

Title updated to "caltrops"

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

Mines are just Roombas that joined the military

I think you misspelled "wheelbarrows"
