Edit: Someone sent this to me, but I found a source discussing it.
Uh
So they turned it into an inverse frag grenade?
I have a rock that keeps away sharks and bears if your interested in buying it, I’ve always had it and have never been attacked by either thus proving it works. /s
Would you care to read the article? They weren’t thin walled capsules, they were cairns. It made it so the statues were a solid block of material. There would be no or little fragmentation or spalling effect towards the statue.
Now that’s pretty inventive. Did they do this with more statues? This hardly seems like a one off idea that wasn’t used elsewhere
there are simpler options: odessa, march 2022 https://www.alamy.com/a-statue-of-duke-of-richelieu-seen-entirely-covered-with-sandbags-the-center-of-odessa-and-the-odessa-opera-and-ballet-theater-had-been-protected-with-sandbags-and-anti-tank-barriers-fearing-a-russian-attack-from-the-black-sea-the-city-residents-try-to-defend-the-city-and-its-monuments-image466442147.html
Both would be ideal. Sandbags for fast, light projectiles, and bricks for slower, heavier ones. Sandbags will stop damn near any bullet, but you can shoot arrows right through them. I’d assume the same would be true for heavy shrapnel, flying rebar, etc.
reminds me of the time cuntykarenmomtwats tried removing the david from school curriculum because PeNiSbAaAaAaAaD
Given that the statue and the material surrounding it are different could we then just do an MRI of the cairns and see the sculpture, that would be pretty cool.
It’s one of those towel pills. Just soak it in water.
