Quite an old idea

Edit: post title originally called the caltrops hedgehogs

[–] LittleWizard@feddit.de 12 points 8 months ago

The difference now should be the precision with which they can be distributed behind enemy lines, without the risk of any lifes.

Title updated to "caltrops"

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

[–] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago

The source probably didn't know the technical term. There is a direct translation in Ukranian, Калтроп.
