My god... They're so close to roof and garage technology...
- CAR HOLE

Ukraine / russian partisans should conduct a test of the flammability of those tires
- Don’t need explosives now a simple Molotov cocktail should get a nice blaze going once the tires catch fire.
- No, just no. Burning tires are freaking terrible
  
  Burning tires are bad, but these are attached to a Russian war plane. The plane needs to burn anyway, so why not light the tires?
