Apprentice: “I put new tires on the plane like you asked, boss!”
That poor plane looks tired. Better not explode it.
New cope cage just dropped???
coopercage was the first thing that came to mind
“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.
Who needs chainmail when you have tiremail.
Noncredibledefense is leaking again
That’s not a plane! It has WAY too many wheels! Clearly, this is not the strike target you’re looking for.
Nobody’s talkin about that white jizzing thing on the right?
This doesn’t look like tires to me, but a sticker. The tries would be falling off the side of the fuselage
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?
Russian government on some McGiver shit
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.
