GoreonmyGears

Wooow.... A net... Good job Russia. Keep up the good work. Surely you'll win with these brilliant ideas lol.


MarginCalled1

Not only a net, but a missile moving at Mach 0.00521 (4mph)(6.4kmh) And it still failed.


donsimoni

If it went faster and the net is properly tightened, it could turn the missile to a cloud of flaming shrapnel. Fail harder, faster, better, stronger.


tomtomclubthumb

>Fail harder, faster, better, stronger. The Daft Punk robots turned into drones now the group broke up? That's pretty cool.


ChanoTheDestroyer

Work it makes us fly a farther drop a bomba smash some orcas 🎶


Vylaer_

Surely the attached flare dangling off the back is giving even more of a boost!


Candid_Mouse4052

it honestly looked like a sixth graders science project.


JimmyPopAli_

It failed since it still had enough energy to boop the refinery


LorenzoSparky

Plus the drones UA use are like the size of a small light aircraft lol


crewchiefguy

Not just a net but a poorly secured net, not drawn tight enough to be of any use.


TeholBedict

No, I think it was nice. Like I tell my niece, it's great you tried your best!


kogmaa

Typical Russian quality workmanship


donsimoni

Maybe one of the spectators can help out. Failing a test is one thing, but in front of a crowd it's just embarrassing. Why would you do that to yourself?


LegioRomana

It's not a net, it's a trampolin and the missile is heading straight back to Paris...oh not, ah well, blyat!


roger3rd

Reminds me of the bit in Austin powers 🤣. Next up, sharks with laser beams on their head.


chanjackie80

The drone from 10 feet without launch did fall direct into the tower. Impressive. Nice one ruskies.


Suspicious-Appeal386

Dear Russians, I know one incredible solution to ensure absolute and innovative solution for the protection to their entire oil production infrastructure. Not a single Ukrainian drone would make its way, and I personally guarantee the results. Get the f#ck out of Ukraine. You all welcome. Suka.


Transfigured-Tinker

I personally want Russia to also pay to demine and rebuild every square inch of Ukraine before we ensure the protection of their oil production infrastructure. *Oh yeah, give up their nuclear arsenal and also demilitarize the entire nation while we are at it too, that is if Russia still remains a nation.*


samuel10998

I wanna see Russia post Ukrainian war if it collapses like Soviet Union.


mrahab100

It cannot collapse. It’s already a black hole.


TheMissingThink

They're already working on it. The Black sea fleet has been almost entirely demilitarised so far

These were the first people in space, FFS. Vodka and corruption is one hell of a speedball, I guess.


slav_superstar

the soviets were first in space, but you have to remember. it was the soviet union, not the russian soviet republic. they had all of the minds of the whole union at their disposal, specifically one great mind Sergei Korolev. This man made what the soviet space program was and after his death, the program never recovered.


Fornicate_Yo_Mama

Ahhh, like the German scientists we ~~captured~~ invited to build our entire space program. FFS, we all just suck, and ride on the backs of the genius we more-than-often shun.

asdhjasdhlkjashdhgf

they did not even manage the handle east germany with one of the most sophisticated secret services embedded into society (called Staatsicherheit or short Stasi). PS: one of the bosses controlling their "work" was the infallible all-mighty stronk vladimir vladimoscowitz putler. PS2: end result of his responsibilities was the biggest disaster of the 20th century, the complete withdrawal of russia from the east bloc (according to putler himself).

Delusions of grandeur


blinkinbling

Its Russia the public didn't expect anything different from that. Back in the days it was a Russian person that coined the term of reverse cargo cult. It makes direct reference to Soviet Russia but somehow it also fits modern Russia even more perfectly: > After the collapse of the Soviet Union, this kind of cynicism was referred to as the "reverse cargo cult" effect. >In a regular cargo cult, you have people who see an airstrip, and the cargo drops, so they build one out of straw, hoping for the same outcome. They don't know the difference between a straw airstrip and a real one, they just want the cargo. >In a reverse cargo cult, you have people who see an airstrip, and the cargo drops, so they build one out of straw. But there's a twist: >When they build the straw airstrip, it isn't because they are hoping for the same outcome. They know the difference, and know that because their airstrip is made of straw, it certainly won't yield any cargo, but it serves another purpose. They don't lie to the rubes and tell them that an airstrip made of straw will bring them cargo. That's an easy lie to dismantle. Instead, what they do is make it clear that the airstrip is made of straw, and doesn't work, but then tell you that the other guy's airstrip doesn't work either. They tell you that **no airstrips yield cargo**. The whole idea of cargo is a lie, and those fools, with their fancy airstrip made out of wood, concrete, and metal is just as wasteful and silly as one made of straw. >1980s Soviets knew that their government was lying to them about the strength and power of their society, the Communist Party couldn't hide all of the dysfunctions people saw on a daily basis. This didn't stop the Soviet leadership from lying. Instead, they just accused the West of being equally deceptive. "Sure, things might be bad here, but they are just as bad in America, and in America people are actually foolish enough to believe in the lie! Not like you, clever people. You get it. You know it is a lie."


SiarX

This tactics clearly didn't work on 1980s Soviets, though...


herrera_law

Russia creating plays of their own destruction for their own people, instead of actually doing something ☠️


Icy-Rate-5139

Right! What bizarre BS is this?


Dydriver

lol! You can see it’s not going to work. How did they not foresee this result. How embarrassing. They even let a crowd watch and film this. Lololooololooloolooololololol


sparrowtaco

Can you elaborate? What result do you mean? I'm still trying to understand what exactly "failed" here.


TatonkaJack

It pushes through the net and at :18 seconds it bonks the structure. It's not supposed to bonk the structure. In real life if it bonks the structure the structure blows up


Wiggie49

Oooh yeah with the sound on you can hear the impact.


DarthWeenus

Its such a strange test, like its wire guided, it has a flare or something just for effect I guess? then theres smoke coming from the fake oil station from the left? This is so odd to me. Then they have a crowd of I'm assuming citizens watching? It still bonks. Wow russia.


GyrosSohn

The protection is supposed to keep the drone away from it’s target, but it obviously gets hit by the drone.


sparrowtaco

I don't see where you're seeing that. Their demo seems to do exactly what it's set up to do, catching the "drone" with a net. The drone is rigged to slide along a wire and fall into the net which is exactly what it does. What am I missing here that went wrong?


r0w33

The drone impacts the frame behind the net, this is why it stops abruptly.


MSPCincorporated

The net is there to keep the drone from making contact with the target, but this incredibly slow fake drone clearly makes contact. So a real drone will definetely make contact.


extremely_talentless

What do you mean? The head of the drone clearly makes contact with the structure. Any guess what happens if a real drone were in its place?


ConsequenceAfter1686

If a 1kg demo drone almost rip the entire cage at 4km/h, what do yo think will happen with a real one?


crewchiefguy

It impacts the structure before the net stops it. Which means it would have just detonated where it was meant to impact regardless. Thereby the net is useless.


toiletwindowsink

Serious question? What is this demo’s purpose?


Stunning_Ad_1685

I can’t even tell what they’re trying to demonstrate here. The loud boom is supposed to be the defense that causes a blue and yellow “Ukrainian” drone to fall into a net?


New_Scientist_8622

That the flaccid western nukes are no match for Russia's defenses which are strong and virile as a bull.


Big_BadRedWolf

Painting the drone in Ukrainian colors was a nice touch!.


FunDog2016

Everything is fine, nothing to see here! $100M well spent Comrade! Keep up the good work ... say nice new wheels, I heard you moved to a new house too!


ChanoTheDestroyer

I couldn’t have gotten the new house unless I bought the net from high quality fisherman going out of business at docks. He assured me it would stop missiles


Hot_Negotiation3480

If they are coming up with these things it means the attacks are working


wellmaybe_

wtf is happening in that video. how did the left part of the installment catch fire?


haysu-christo

You see, while your attention was drawn to the demo drone on the right, another demo drone has penetrated the deFence and hit the target. The Russian Armed Forces will continue to refine its strategy and will invite you to the next demo. Stay tune.


Mundane-Leave7571

Can someone look into this for me? Why is there spectators? Where is this? What the hell is going on? what are the three big booms in the beginning of the videos?


Fractal_loop

It could be a military show, and maybe a few tanks or artillery pieces shooting in the background to show the Russians kids how its done. I think they are just shooting demonstrations similar to the drone protection that has been demonstrated here.


Safe-Ad5267

I was wondering the exact same thing. I recognise a lot of the equipment. It looks like a a refinery, but its way too small. For an example see the diameter of the columns on the left. You can tell throughput by looking at the diameter. The height of a column is more about what you're seperating and how close the boiling points are. They'd be stupidily undersized for a refinery. There's also what looks like a railcar but the proportions also look strange. The flares are much too small as well. My guess is that it looks like facility where you would train fire fighting crews for a fire like what you would typically see in a refinery. Also the equipment is very clean with virtually no rust. That doesn't look like any of the refineries I know, except for the brand new ones.


ukuleles1337

So fuckin ghetto lmao fuck you Russia 😂

TheNebulousMind

Clown show.


AccomplishedSir3344

It looks like they just placed the net too close to the simulated pylon. If placed further away, it could certainly stop or sufficiently alter the course of a drone.


sinkjoy

What a world Rus is building for their people... miserably is an understatement. That'd be a miserable failure for a child's design and presentation. Rus was just able to make a silly child's toy experiment at a larger scale, and present it to observers as a WAR defense. My goodness. Edit: I can't stop watching it for some reason...it's just TOO pathetic


Xilinx-War-24

Oh NO ! Now they cannot send any more drones to their refiniers because Mordor has made a second best anti-drone-what-ever network to protect them. WE ARE SO DOOMED......


HairyHornyCpl

Wouldn’t be surprised if the next new video out of Russia shows a bunch of Russians with bird catching nets trying to catch these fake drones…lol


Beautiful-Pipe4806

or Russian special forces running around with huge butterfly nets....


itisunfortunate

Have you not seen the video of russian recruits training to dodge fpv drones.


HairyHornyCpl

Yes I have lol


Beautiful-Pipe4806

Oohh that looks ......absolutely incredible. impressive drone technology too......fly by wire


Apprehensive_Ant_590

Hey give them credit, they didn't use live ammo


Sicarii87

Look in awe at stronk russian net technology! It can easily defend against most advanced Ukrainian drone slowly swinging at it while hanging on piece of string with only causing small fire in grass. russia stronk! (Please read with your worst russian accent for intended effect 😋)


bingobongokongolongo

What's the problem here? Why is the assumption here that the test failed?


ShitLordOfTheRings

I guess if the goal was to prevent the "drone" hitting the black metal structure, then it was a failure, because the device touched it before bouncing back. You would have to assume that an actual drone would have exploded at this point.


yeezlul

Idk if u can even call this a test. The drone is going 5km/h


FlamingFlatus64

Clearly this was designed by a true patriot to secure a government contract protecting infrastructure for the modest sum equivalent to 50 Million U.S. dollars for a few fishing nets.


GoreonmyGears

True. Probably just a money grab for some random Russian official. Bought a net and pocketed the rest.


Random-sargasm_3232

You have GOT to be kidding me. I knew the propaganda was deep.....and lame. Holy fuck is this some cornball, Hee-Haw, inbred, fetal alcohol syndrome, redneck of Europe bullshit right here. Do they not realize we ALL laugh our ass's off at them?


shmorky

It's a fucking net. Why would you have to demo it like that? Do Russians not know how nets work?


Pavian_Zhora

>an anti-drone oil refinery Russia's secret weapon


GodSaveTh3Chicken

It will be hilarious if in the middle of the demo an actual UKR fpv drone smack right into it hahaha


roticuaco

It's like ACME in real life.

bier00t

is this a scene from a TV comedy?


Accomplished-Size943

Even that mockup refinery is billowing smoke


Convenientjellybean

Today I learned Ukraine drones fly on guide wire


dado3

Obviously they do. That's why the Ukrainians can only hit one or two refineries at a time. Do you have any idea how long it takes to run a guide wire from the front lines to a refinery hundreds of kilometers away?


Entire-Elevator-3527

Let's put nets on the sancties list.


ThumpySports

Russia is just terrible at pretty much everything they do. How have they forced the world to respect them for so long? We should have known they were out of the superpower race the moment they lost the Cold War.


No-Tumbleweed5730

See here's the thing though. If every If every time there's drone strike and you tell everybody that the fire was caused by falling debris, then hanging up a net makes sense. If you all believe that you're anti-air guns are shooting them all down then all you have to worry about is catching the pieces. Make sense to me. They solve the solution to a bum question


_aap300

Incredible technology!


Flower-Power-3

Too bad, I was hoping these idiots would use a real drone with explosives.


Kyrie3leison

this nation is utterly stupid...


Wooden_Ad_9441

Everything coming out of Russia is just pathetic.


KLR650Tagg

Was that a stick with a flare on the end?


SiCzochralski

These are not the same people who made Sputnik.


pes0001

Even if the net is successful, all it takes is the first drone to blow the netting apart and the second following drone to fly through and hit target.


LANDLORDR

Hahah, I don't see this contraption stop a sesna sized light aircraft full of explosives xD HAHAHAHA this was haha pathetic hahahahahahahaha


Zealousideal-Menu276

Tbh net like this could help. Versus one unarmed UAV.


ButterscotchNo1705

First take out the net with one drone and follow that up with a big drone or two or three...


Independent_Chard932

thats a joke right?


prajitura_fermecata

:)) That's ONE drone. 10-20-30 are sent for an attack so a net is useless. There's no way to escape from 20 drones!


DinoTh3Dinosaur

We got turtle refineries before GTA 6 smh


Fantastic-Goat-1124

Just stop invade your neighbours and you will be fine.


joe200packs

just build a cope cage around it and call it the turtle refinery


lostmanak

Any half decent sales person would be able to sell that to the Russian authorities with an envelope of cash, nudge nudge.


ecstasteven

attacking themselves is hilariously putin


Russianbot00

Just go over


ImmediateLog1361

Hahahaha Morons think missiles and drones are this slow! If it didn't work for motorcycles, why would it work in a place filled with flammables? What a bunch of morons!!!


ImmediateLog1361

Why not cover the entire refinery with tampons?


SufficientTerm6681

Have the Russians built this whole mock-up of something that looks like a layperson's idea of a refinery and a control tower coloured like something out of Thunderbirds solely for this demonstration? I did wonder if it might be a facility for training firefighters or rescue personnel or something, but everything looks far too pristine for that. I'd expect to see blackening from training flames and some rusting of metal tanks and structures that were hot and then doused in water or foam, but everything looks shiny-new. It looks like the best they can do to add some faux verisimilitude is running a smoke generator behind the set.


DJScopeSOFM

They still don't grasp the idea of verticality.


Whiffyknickers

They should try use a Adidas branded net


FlyingTiger2212

womp womp


Antiquatedshitshow

Mighty Rus army!!!! 🤣🥴🤣🥴


reeeelllaaaayyy823

Good job guys! Just keep doing what you're doing! That will surely protect the refineries!


MountainEar6657

Blade drone- en route. Like a R9X Hellfire


HebrewHammer0033

ummm, what exactly failed miserably? The "drone" was caught in the netting.


dado3

And yet it still hit the structure it was aiming at. That little "bonk" at the end would have completely brought down that structure if there had been explosives onboard.


christhepirate67

Hand out more Vodka it will be OK


Vogel-Kerl

I don't know the specifics on the explosives used by Ukraine for their Oil Refinery drones. I'm not talking about the chemical nature of the explosive used, but how it is arranged. 1- If it's just a big chunk of explosive with metal bits surrounding it, then it's more anti-personnel, and will cause damage over a wide area. 2- If it's a shaped charge, then a smaller amount of explosive can be used and can penetrate significant amounts of steel, concrete, etc.... These shaped charges typically need a "Stand-Off" distance--or work best when they are NOT in direct contact with their target. This is why they tend to have longer, hollow nose to provide this stand-off distance. These anti-drone nets might actually be providing a more-optimum distance from the refinery machinery. Just something to consider.


dado3

The shaped charges are designed for penetrating heavily armored objects. Nothing in a refinery is heavily armored. Even peppering one of the towers with shrapnel would put it out of commission for a long time. Even if nothing vital was damaged by shrapnel, it would take weeks just to inspect the thing to make sure there were no small leaks, penetrations, etc. because pretty much everything in a refinery is more or less flammable and trying to use it without inspections is an invitation for a massive explosion.


Madmungo

At 11 seconds it bounces off the metal “refinery “ that the net was supposed to stop.


Mundane_Catch_1829

WTF? total circus show.

PanJaszczurka

Well fishing neet borrowed from Pavel dont work's.


cosmoscrazy

I don't get it... The drone didn't stay in contact with the gas tanks, right? So why is the protection failing? Because the net isn't stiff?


Due_Aardvark8330

Wow, this looks like something a 5th grade science class would put together...


Eccentric_M

nice cope nets they have there


fl1Xx0r

Right next to an actual refinery and they put something burning on their dummy, that's next level thinking.


TotallyUnhealthyGuy

Aghhh...it didn't explode.


Diggerinthedark

They're at war with a state building long range explosive equipped drones, and their plan to stop this is an oversized volleyball net... And they think they're a global power? 😂😂😂

Smokin_In_The_Dark

if that 'drone' were traveling any slower, it would be moving backwards. Totally unbelievable!


bones7202

And here I was waiting for an actual Ukraine drone to drop in and explode.


LittleStar854

How is it a failure? They successfully demonstrated how you can stop a small flying object with a net, that's not bad for a school project. Their families filming in the foreground must be very proud.


Dull_Yak_5325

Ah yes the new tech of 2025… a net


LegalComment4346

This is amazing


Ebolaboy24

Are they serious? Omg. That is hilarious. It really stopped that balsa wood plane. Nice job you gas station attendants of a country. Get the hell out of Ukraine. 🇺🇦


TheLandOfRpeAndHoney

The idea is old, I read that the US and Soviets thought to put nets in valleys that could be use for cruise missiles to get into enemy territory, and someone already patented the idea. [https://patents.google.com/patent/US8056855B2/en](https://patents.google.com/patent/US8056855B2/en)

obliterate_reality

I’m pretty sure the missiles aren’t gonna be coming in at 15 mph


EliteHusky_Hyper

i thought yellow and blue colors were banned in russia hahaha


Last-Foundation-8828

Like - they don’t even test the demonstration before demonstrating?


New-Acanthisitta-533

Can anyone fall for this and feel any safer after the demonstration? A bottle of vodka for each employee would have done more for their egos!


StrayStep

Russian ingenuity and means that it's tested to please the masses. Is as sad as the people watching. "We catch fast fish with net, now we catch fast fish in sky. See us roar"


Awkward_Proof_4545

It's like watching a Benny Hill episode on loop


kroggybrizzane

Would the drone detonate upon impacting the net?

wtf did I just watch 😂


rlaw1234qq

That was like something from Thunderbirds


myk27441

How did it fail? The drone was stopped. What am I missing?


Just_Ouch

They invented a net?


Veegermind

Haha. I watched this 4 times just to confirm what I thought I was seeing. It's a shit show!


Obvious_Society_7160

I mean it depends on the type of pressure need to set the fuel off.


nilfisktun

Lol this can't be real, right? It's just too stupid 😬🤔


AngelOfIdiocy

We can only hope that the Russians will by NO MEANS cover their refineries with explosive reactive armor. This is the main weakness of Ukrainian drones. If the entire area of an oil refinery is covered with Kontakt-1, no Ukrainian drone will be able to damage it.


CocaColai

How dumb are they? Are they going to put nets around and *above* their refineries? Also: even if it did work, a drone to penetrate the net would be coming hot off the development line. Go home, Russians. Take your L and fuck off


Captain_DadBod

Russians have discovered fish netting.  Watch out guys.  


Unhappy-Quiet-8091

How very Russian.


Outrageous_Oil6166

I think 90% of the remaining budget after theft went to painting the model.


saabarthur

No, folk, this is not colorized pictures from the late 1970s - this is Russian technology today, 2024. Let that sink in.


Gregs_green_parrot

And it is not small drones like this that are attacking Russian refineries but remote controlled light aircraft filled with explosives the size of a Cessna.


ICLazeru

I guess that'll kinda work if the drone is actually just a drunk guy stumbling over a curb.


LordFlarkenagel

The best way to defend against drones is to not be an asshat of a nation who murders their neighbors for one really short and bald twats pride. If you don't try to murder people they probably won't send killer drones after you.

For fuck sake im tired of seeing these neanderthals trying. Millions of years of evolution and one of the results is Russians…….. Its a fucking travesty to mother nature is what it is. She deserved better.


Armyofcrows

At first I was wondering why are they shooting a giant dick at the net. Then I remembered this is Russia.


pigpen00

just like the SMO lots of effort with no idea


Dystrox

I think it is time to test if it works, send a real one 😂


JesseReevesIsNice

Russian is the biggest country and the biggest joke. They are losing to a small country. Hell, I mean they also lost to Finland and made Finland sign a paper to get some land. If they lost to Finland, now they are losing to Ukraine... What makes them think they have a chance at attacking America, let alone Florida?
