Hyperreality,

You're all underestimating the Russians. These may look like explosive tiles, but they're just as likely to be empty or filled with sand. That way the explosives can be sold for profit and the dumb schmucks think they're driving into battle in an armoured car not an unprotected tin can.

Gork,

Sand is probably a better defence if the armor is too weak to handle the ERA going off.

Janis,

this give me a warm feeling. the more retarded a nation is by design, the less likely their army has any value. just like the russian invasion of afghanistan was an epic failure. this makes me wonder how a super stupid nation like china would act in a war. their system is beyond retarded, they flex like russia and their gear is Wish quality. sure they also have biiiig nukes like russia, but what is gained if china nukes taiwan? nothing. so they are cockroaches like the russians that weasel around like orcs in dire need of some opiods for the masses. decades of lousy bread and games for the masses doesnt do the trick long term. i really really hope russia and china just vanish.

ThrowawayPermanente,

Setting aside nuclear weapons, China would eat Russia alive.

I don't honestly know about that. I remember watching a video of "an elite Chinese military unit" doing a room clearing exercise. They showed the targets they were shooting at afterwards and they all had keyholes. The distances were all inside so maybe 5 meters?

Chinese Wish grade weapons versus Russian corruption makes me think it would be a coin toss.

betterdeadthanreddit,

One possibility that I saw floating around is that this was an ammunition issue, possibly deliberate to reduce damage to the walls of the structure they were training in or lower the risk of ricochet. Not saying I believe that explanation but I’d rather err on the side of not underestimating a potential opponent.

Senseless,

Works as indended. By doing this, you can claim the kill as friendly fire instead of a kill by Ukraine. /s

That is so fucking stupid, it might actually be an official russian strategy.
