Quite an old idea

Edit: post title originally called the caltrops hedgehogs

[–] LittleWizard@feddit.de 16 points 6 months ago

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.

Title updated to "caltrops"

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

[–] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 months ago

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

I think you misspelled "wheelbarrows"
