#Reality:
Apprentice: “I put new tires on the plane like you asked, boss!”
New cope cage just dropped???
coopercage was the first thing that came to mind
Noncredibledefense is leaking again
“Mr President, we have no armors to protect the planes against bombs’ fragmentation.”
“Very well, let them have car tires.”
ps: it must be effective against something.
Supposedly it helps disguise the image from image targeting, I’d guess it is only useful until new images are added with tyres on
wouldn’t it be more useful to break up its silouette, or something?
Or even just cover it in a tarpaulin? surely they can manage to find enough material of some sort in all of russia to make a makeshift cover. It’s gotta be easier than car tyres.
The only logic I can see with tires is it MAY help deflect/catch some shrapnel, or potentially cushion a dropped charge if hit from above. If its purpose was to mess with image targeting they could just paint shapes on them and not have to toss tires around all the time, or as you say toss some tarps on them.
Maybe mess up the fuse, like anti-RPG cages?
Anti RPG cages protect armoured vehicles. Planes are squishy. AA missiles explode in their general direction and bring them down with sprays of shrapnel.
Improper painting can damage and ground an airplane. These tires don’t do squat IMO.
Goodbye fuel economy and aerodynamics.
Those tires aren’t light.
Why would you think they intend to fly like that? What caused you to reach that conclusion?
I would assume he is being funny.
It’s difficult to tell if someone is a moron, or just pretending to be.
True. For me it depends on how optimistic I’m feeling that day.
It’s fine, they’ll fall off at takeoff anyway
Oops, I almost missed the meme just looking at the picture.
Nobody’s talkin about that white jizzing thing on the right?
Woops sorry that was me
Isn’t that one of those mini airport vehicles?
That poor plane looks tired. Better not explode it.
Who needs chainmail when you have tiremail.
Do they know of anything that burns better than burning tires? Because I don’t. I think you can actually make solid booster rockets out of tire rubber. Bags of dirt would have been better.
Russian government on some McGiver shit
Probably to confuse CV
That’s not a plane! It has WAY too many wheels! Clearly, this is not the strike target you’re looking for.
Alright lads, wheels up in 20!
