The manufacturer stated that the wheel segments are produced using recycled raw vulcanized rubber, which is then mounted onto a structural steel framework. This configuration is intended to combine durability with flexibility while maintaining traction across multiple terrain types.

I wonder if this will actually be any good. In general, you want to let air out of tires when driving off-road so the tread can confirm to the terrain. This tire will be stiffer and likely won't have as much traction. It will be more resistant to the tire getting blown off. I guess time will tell if that compromise is worth it.

Specialized tires for special use cases. Where you'd expect tires to be blown constantly, like mine removal

What other war experience wisdom do you have for the troops in Ukraine?

Would this be the place to share it if they did?

This isn't warthunder forums. Most of us are probably just here to watch drones blow up orcs and shit.
