Russia's War Against Ukraine

[Gusington]

My head just exploded...haven't seen Megaforce clips in ~40 years...

[SirAndrewD]

Sad to see it's not on streaming anywhere I can put it on.

Have to settle for Samurai Cop instead.

[Staggerwing]

I thought I was the only one that remembered that movie.

Sheesh... from Henry Silva's expression you'd think he'd never seen a flying motorcycle before.  ::)

I think, even when I saw that movie on HBO in 9th grade, it struck me as being too 80s for the 80s.  Call me a blasphemer, but the only thing that really worked for me in that movie was the actress.

[Gusington]

Heh 'too 80s for the 80s' - that's really 80s

[Dammit Carl!]

While you may laugh, at least the gold/silver lame jumpsuits did a better job of camo than the ACUs did.

[FarAway Sooner]

Carl, who needs camo when you look that sleek!!!

Well, that'll slow down the HUMVEE swarm... ;)

For a couple minutes at least, as those dragon teeth handily have hooks mounted on them for moving them around   :-"

You can rent Megaforce on Prime Video ($2.99).  And Amazon has some DVD's in stock.

I saw a quote detailing that based one edge equal to one meter one dragon tooth *) would have a mass of ca three quarters of a ton. With a 50 ton tank there'd be no need to have breaching equipment, just roll over them as they are placed on top of soft ground.

Another comment that if these are manufactured of concrete without reinforced steel they can be shredded to pieces with a 50 cal.

But they look like this mighty Wagner line and that's all that counts right.   

Edit *) apologies, based on twitter the proper term would be Cope Teeth

Edit2 and while we have our  :nerd: glasses on, there was another comment that those cope teeth are not pyramids but tetrodes, so the correct formula would be (a^3)/(6*sqrt(2)) where a=side, and looking at the pictures they look more like 90cm (ca one yard) than 100cm so with mass of concrete at 2.4 kg/litre (at this point I am purely throwing some metric sh*te at you lol) this gives on tetrode a whopping weight of 206 kgs.

That's some 450 lbs for you lot, making all this even more, erm, Wagneresque I guess.

Two lifting hooks, even  :bd:

Beautiful day for an ejection.

Must be a relatively secure or low threat environment for him to stand around in the open field like that.

Megaforce might be like having a gold brick full of awesome punching you in the face....but it's not worth $3.
