Those are “Czech hedgehogs” or anti-tank hedgehogs – obstacles used to stop the tanks, mainly deployed during World War 2. Now, 70 years later, a few generations of people were born who have seen those only on the photos or in the old movies. However, those are reality now again in Ukraine. This is a fresh photo from around the city of Mariupol which is told to be attacked tonight by the approaching army. The hedgehogs has been deployed and tens of thousands of people try to flee the city. There are a few of fresh videos of missiles, anti tank hedgehogs and people fleeing the cities inside:
On this video as they say columns of people trying to flee from the “soon-to-be-doomed” (as many consider) city. For the past few days endless traffic jams on the exits from the city were formed.
And on another video you can see those or similar anti-tank hedgehogs from the photo above, and the rocket launchers attack on the field next to them as the forces approach the city:
Those flashes on the screen are the missiles fired from truck mounted missile complexes landing in the field. Scary thing. And here is an example of one the commanders who approaches the city and the GRAD missiles they own (just wait a little for a demonstration):
Probably the only thing to say here is stay safe people of Mariupol.
