Now that’s pretty inventive. Did they do this with more statues? This hardly seems like a one off idea that wasn’t used elsewhere
there are simpler options: odessa, march 2022 https://www.alamy.com/a-statue-of-duke-of-richelieu-seen-entirely-covered-with-sandbags-the-center-of-odessa-and-the-odessa-opera-and-ballet-theater-had-been-protected-with-sandbags-and-anti-tank-barriers-fearing-a-russian-attack-from-the-black-sea-the-city-residents-try-to-defend-the-city-and-its-monuments-image466442147.html
Possibly Ukraine not being run by fascists might have something to do with that.
Uh
So they turned it into an inverse frag grenade?The statue still exists, so I guess it worked out.
I have a rock that keeps away sharks and bears if your interested in buying it, I’ve always had it and have never been attacked by either thus proving it works. /s
I didn’t say it worked, I said it worked out.
Would you care to read the article? They weren’t thin walled capsules, they were cairns. It made it so the statues were a solid block of material. There would be no or little fragmentation or spalling effect towards the statue.
To be fair, I believe they posted that before my edit.
reminds me of the time cuntykarenmomtwats tried removing the david from school curriculum because PeNiSbAaAaAaAaD
when he says he’s all bricked up
he’s a brick 🎶🎵🎶🎵 howse
Given that the statue and the material surrounding it are different could we then just do an MRI of the cairns and see the sculpture, that would be pretty cool.
Wouldn’t a bomb hitting close enough just make the bricks likely to collapse onto the statue and cause damage? 🤔
You know, I bet they dressed the naked statues in actual clothing, just like they painted them.
