I'm sure heaving lots of extra weight on a wing for hours a day will surely not shorten the life span of it.

They're already full of fuel and subject to immense stress during flight, so, no, some tires on them while on the ground really aren't going to do anything in that regard. Planes in general are built to withstand far beyond the absolute max stress they will ever face in the real world.

I mean, it's not going to make the wing fall off or affect structural members in any way but I could see some nontrivial dents in the wing skin if those are truck tires. Not that it will destroy the aircraft, or even necessarily damage the panel (once it's un-dented by some means), ofc.

How do you know the tires aren't just painted on the wings? Checkmate Ukrainalures.

Those planes are old as gently caress I dont even know what the lifespan on a Tu-95 airframe is. The last new Boeing B-52 airframe was delivered in 1962. Its kinda interesting how impervious and long lasting these planes could be, but also  that some cardboard drones got more Russkie nuke bomber kills than the entirety of the USAF strategic command  Its not an understatement to say that hundreds, if not thousands of people spent their entire career thinking about fighting those loving things. And now they have tires on the wings because their neighbor (whom they picked a fight with) is destroying them with the equivalent of RC planes and sticks of dynamite. What even is this timeline

TIL that the cardboard drones benefit from cardboard being hard for radar to pick up, so they're technically stealth drones.

Bluemillion posted:Comedy option: The tires form a good enough seal against the wings that they fill with rainwater, and the extra weight breaks the wings. The wings need to hold the weight of the entire airplane. And while usually the airplane hangs from the wings and not vice versa, because of turbulence and other transient loads, there needs to be serious strength in the other direction too. The MTOW of a TU-95 is like 200t, the wings are not going to break because of the water stuck in a couple of hundred tires.

Fultoning Russian officers with a drone to interrogate them sounds like propaganda to cover for Putin using the technology to give some officers in the field the old huge falls treatment! Always with the false flags. Putin is a real piece of poo poo. I would put more faith in the NATO Warlock towers stealing Russian souls though.

Heres the source for the interview about the skill crane drones in mk.ru, which wikipedia describes as a tabloid: https://www.mk.ru/politics/2023/08/21/specnazovec-akhmata-rasskazal-ob-ukrainskikh-dronakh-s-kleshnyami-pokhishhayushhikh-ranenykh.html Machine translation: quote:The commando says that the opposing side is actively using large copters, which have received the name "Baba Yaga" among our fighters. This is a large "bird", almost the size of a man, capable of carrying up to four 82-mm and up to two 120-mm mines. It flies on a gasoline engine, which is why it is very noisy in itself. Power is enough for an average of fifteen heavy flights. The drone operates exclusively at night, as during the day it is easy to detect and shoot down. Sounds far fetched, but

The West spent billions of dollars to construct hardened bunkers to maximize survivability of their airframes in the face of all but a direct nuclear strike. The Russians just used a pile of tires.
