You have explosive nearly on every main bridge and "autobahn" sometimes in the street sometimes on the walls of mountains, to slow down tanks/troop transports.

You have explosive nearly on every main bridge and "autobahn" sometimes in the street sometimes on the walls of mountains, to slow down tanks/troop transports.
Fun detail: Those can just be detonated with a "encoded" metal-plate.
They look a bit like that:

- Faaak 6y agoThere was explosives, but they've all been taken out ~10 years ago
- nix23 6y agoTrue, but not all, just most of them.
- awiesenhofer 6y agoSo wait, these were pressure sensitive and triggered if the right "pins" were pushed when driving over them (if the metal plate was in place)? Glad I only heared about this now and not back when I was driving over these regularly...
- nix23 6y agoHehe no :) you have a central ignition away from the street (hidden in a bush under bridge etc) and it looks often like a sewer cover, if you uncover it you have 8-16 holes, on top of them you have to place your correctly encoded metal-plate then you place the igniter in the metal-plate-hole, that igniter fires another igniter and the whole bridge/street goes boom, if its the wrong hole (or wrong encoded metal-plate) you just destroy the main igniter and nothing will and can ever happen. EDIT: The first ignition (the one in the plate) is manually fired often hundreds of meters away thru a fuse-cord, but you can "in theory" automatize it (trip wire or other technique's) witch is absolutely illegal, same with claymore's...they just have holes in the splinter to safe some weight ;) BTW: DON'T try to open those sewer covers, you WILL have big problems in a matter of minutes.
