After working on this piece for hours and only getting 22 upvotes on reddit thought that maybe this community would appreciate it more. TLDR: Viktor left his legaly aquired yatch in Menorca(Spain) and it got siezed. So some upcicling would be nice. this is my rendition of what it would look like.
Needs some hemp rope armor
I see Hairy Mary is getting popular. But after all, who could resist those thick ropes?
who summoned this beast of beauty?
The Brits in South Africa during the Second Boer War. The ropes used were from the Royal Navy.
i was thinking more about a specific content creator that brought it to light. but that is also a valid answer.
Oh, in that case, tis me
I ran across it while searching for armored trains, because armored trains are cool. Little did I realize I would discover the coolest one of them all
thanks man. ima continue investigating how the fedyverse works :)
beautifull, was this actually efective? against what? distracting kittens?
During the Second Boer War, the engine Havelock was prepared to see action while serving on armoured trains. Unlike usual practice in such cases, the engine was not equipped with armour plate protection, but was draped in strands of thick hemp rope which covered it from front to back. This earned the locomotive the apt nickname Hairy Mary amongst the troops.
Doesn’t say why they used this instead of regular armor on wikipedia. But who could pass up having their ship being so handsome?
wild. was it effective? its definitely effective at distracting me with those glorious… strands. edit: guess it didnt actually reach cobat to try it out
Cope rope
and Dope rope
Needs more nafo and plane waifu

Disney cruise water slide except it drops mines.
A diving bell would increase your underwater capabilities.
What a masterpiece! As a recent member, I do “get” the florps, the ERA reference and of course the various drones, both navalized Bayraktar and the explosive ship drone. And of course the HIMARS and Gepard.
But what is the “spinach and mint chocolate” referring to?
got locked out of my account due to 2fa, booted up another one to explain the references. Going from top to bottom:
Bayraktar with pontoons: this one is a bit complicated. You see, this doesn’t exist. its a “credible” invention on mine. If people like it i will make a Perun style presentation talking about Bayraktar with pontoons™ and why they are so credible. Patent Pending
the top helicopter: is a Western model that was used by Ukraine to prove to the west that they are capable of using modern aviation.
ERA Crate: crate is because my first post had Era armour on it, so it was Removed. so instead of displaying it, I’m using a special technique called “putting it in a box”.
270mlrs: just a big double Himmars that is tracked.
Borscht: Tactical typical Ukrainian soup. Afaik People joke on how much soup can fit in something. and about Challenger tanks having equipment for making tea that is also used for Borscht.
Mint ERA: I wanted to make fun of the mods for not allowing me to have any era on the ship, so i said its a mint chocolate bar.
Tyres: Ukraine has lots of tractors and i needed to replace the era with something. So they are a decent fit.
