They better never be banned here. They’re ridiculous and I love them.
Don’t worry, in ten years when Lemmy has Chinese corporate owners and everything is instabanned, we’ll just go back to reddit.
-20 social points. Do better, citizen.
But I was already doing my best! 😱
Don’t do best, be best.
You see units like this in video games: expendable mooks holding bombs that run in to explode.
You could get the Hulk to carry a damn nuke and he’d only get greener.
TF is that?
Those are ERA (explosive reactive armor) bricks. Literally armor that provides it’s protection by exploding. They are designed to disrupt the copper jet from shaped charges.
So you’re telling me someone made an armor that explodes?
They sure fucking did! And it’s actually quite common on the heavily armored vehicles. However, it doesn’t work on anything thin-skinned as the ERA itself would destroy the vehicle it is supposed to guard.
I recommend watching the whole video as it has lots of good info and great visuals. However, I timestamped the part explaining ERA, here.

That’s basically why I found it funny
