Quite an old idea

Edit: post title originally called the caltrops hedgehogs

LittleWizard@feddit.de · 15 pts · 2y

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.

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

LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz · 4 pts · 2y

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.

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

Mines are just Roombas that joined the military

pivot_root@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

I think you misspelled "wheelbarrows"
