Показать описание
An anti—tank hedgehog is the simplest anti-tank barrier, which is a three-dimensional six-pointed cross. Unlike nadolba, it is relatively mobile.

Hedgehogs have been actively used in the construction of fortifications since the thirties, for example, in the construction of the Czechoslovak wall on the border of Czechoslovakia and Germany. A new principle of operation and an improved model of this non-explosive anti-tank defense device was proposed in 1941 by Mikhail Lvovich Gorikker, Major General of the technical troops, then head of the defense of Kiev and head of the Kiev Tank School. Hedgehogs are less effective than minefields, but they can be made in large quantities from improvised materials without the use of high technology and easily transferred from one site to another, which is especially valuable in wartime.

You are mistaken, it wasn't soviet invention. It had been invented in Czechoslovakia in 1935-36. Lot of photos in video is from Czechoslovak fortification, not from USSR.

You are wrong. Hedgehog (czech hedgehog) was invented in Czechoslovakia by František Kašík. Hedgehogs were originally used on the Czech–German border by the Czechoslovak border fortifications.

0:54 I already have question: Why didn't they just WELD them together instead of painfully drilling and riveting?

It was invented in Czechia not Russia. Russia just copied it and made some adjustments. You should change the title to briliant czech invetion adjusted by soviet general. Why lie in a title?
