The balls to do that. Bravo.


Hotrico

Many of these rescuers deserve to be honored with the Hero of Ukraine medal


Edarneor

It's not even armored. Any shrapnel will go right through. They are extremely lucky!


Daxtatter

Shooting artillery at a single SUV seems like an inefficent use of ammuntion TBH.


Hotrico

That's the problem, the Russians have a lot of ammunition


AlarmNew3893

No drone cage on that thing? Wtf


Hotrico

The results on unarmored vehicles are not satisfactory


CantaloupeCamper

If it detonates on the cage I suspect you're just as fucked if your next line of defense is just ... vehicle structure. Even the cages on tanks are of limited usefulness depending on circumstances.


crisselll

lol a drone cage ain’t gonna do shit for that suv


mikatovish

Maybe drone jammers. They are sold at a personal level and there are probsbly ones adapted to vehicles


Hot_Wheels_guy

All a drone needs to do is take out the tires on a truck like that to immobilize it. Therefore a cope cage above the passengers and driver wouldnt be a deterrent from drones. Cope cages are useful on tanks because it is much much more difficult to get a mobility kill on a tank with an FPV, resulting in the upper parts of the tank being targeted and not the tracks. Ergo, tanks get cope cages and cope barns while commercial vehicles do not.

Is the logo on the windshield military?


Hotrico

Cossack cross, symbol of the ground forces and a historical symbol of the old Zaporozhian army of the 16th century, it's also used in regions and cities flags, like the Poltava Oblast

Whenever they see one, they send drones too


CantaloupeCamper

We see plenty of Ukrainian drone drops on dudes carrying stretchers. And that truck, who knows what it is up to.


Mac_Drizza

Why do the Ukrainians use the iron cross emblem? Isn’t that a German thing?


Hotrico

That's a cossack cross, a really old symbol used by the zaporozhian army at the time of the Cossack Hetmanate Outside the security forces it is also used on the flags of some regions of Ukraine, such as the Poltava Oblast

Goddamnit man, Iron crosses have CURVES, i swear to god this war has made me realize how many people failed geometry as children.


Hot_Wheels_guy

What nazi geometry class did you have that taught you about the shape of an iron cross?!


I_Saw_A_Bear

(?)


Hot_Wheels_guy

Geometry classes dont teach people the shape of an iron cross.


I_Saw_A_Bear

okay that's fair, but it should teach you visually the difference between a curved line, and a straight line, and comparing what's on the video to what an iron cross looks like should tell you they are difference shapes is what im getting at.


Hot_Wheels_guy

If thats the case then you should have worded your first comment differently because the way you said it was addressing the failure of geometry classes in teaching people what an iron cross looks like. Obviously people know the difference between a curved and a straight line. I think we can all agree on that. The issue was whether or not that person remembers what an iron cross looks like, which could be confusing to the average layman since the cross symbol in general was used in several different ways by nazi germany, some with curves and some without. The average person doesnt know those distinctions and thats the issue at hand. Not whether or not someone knows what a curve is.


I_Saw_A_Bear

My guy, it was a mocking remark, its not that deep.


Edarneor

Russian st. George cross also uses this shape. [https://static.tildacdn.com/tild6661-3032-4239-a165-333037643839/\_\_-1.jpg](https://static.tildacdn.com/tild6661-3032-4239-a165-333037643839/__-1.jpg) It's just happens to be common across many militaries
