Russians are employing this dastardly new technology called “mines” which no army on earth has encountered before, least of all those of the NATO members like France, Germany and the UK.

French aristocrat knights, c. 14th century: “how dare these English peasants shoot me with longbows!!! Where’s their chivalry!!!”
(Actual military history may vary)
“To teach them a lesson I will ride towards them, down this muddy hill while wearing sommuch armour I cannot stand up on my own. What could possibly go wrong?”
i know you’re doing a bit, but only jousting armour was too heavy to stand in. would be hella shitty to be in full plate if you couldnt move
One night I went down the youtube rabbit hole of dudes in full plate showing off their mobility. One dude even swam for a short time doing a sorta breast stroke thing.
That last one sounds actually insane. Like you’re just asking to drown
Funny you should mention that. They chose still water, had a guide line, and backup. However! Crypto fash dipshit Varg Vikarness tried the same stunt with chain mail. In a river. Nearly drowned his dumbass.
Varg “I killed a gay man and I don’t regret it” Vikarness? Varg “Burn Down a Church, Kill A Firefighter” Vikarness? Varg “Make A Really Shitty And Tedious TTRPG” Vikarness? You’re telling me Varg Vikarness did something fucking stupid? I am hearing this now for the first time.
The last of the three is the least of his many shitty things But this review of it is pretty good
I think Varg just killed his band mate. The gay guy was killed by a different guy in the same scene.
But yep, that asshole.
Oh neat! I didn’t mean they couldn’t stand, but that the heavy armor made it too heavy to stand yourself up in a muddy field. But I know recall videos of dudes in full plate doing acrobatics, so thats probably very wrong
