In early 2023, [[meme]]s were made about the [[Ukraine|Ukrainian]] army putting explosive [[reactive armor]] (ERA) on seemingly everything, following deliveries of [[Leopard 2]] tanks from [[Poland]] as a part of NATO aid for the [[Russo-Ukrainian war]]. The memes spread to [[4chan]]'s /pol/, /k/ and [[Reddit]]'s r/NonCredibleDefense sub where ERA bricks were used as an exploitable, being edited onto image macros and meme templates along with Ukrainian soldier-coded Flork of Cows characters.

These ERA memes were also called "Cope Bricks" in reference to [[Copium (meme)|]] and [[Cope Cage]]s.
