A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

If the picture is accurate it would have to have crashed into it.

save a lot of money if you just have a grenade and propel it yourself

Good luck hitting your target. With the drone even if you miss you can fly it back to safety until there is a new target too. Neither is meant for this type of combat and this case was probably just luck and an opertune target. The drone probably wasn't launched specifically to take out the aircraft.

The invention of the suicide bomber (circa 2024, colourised)

Doesn't rpg literally stand for rocket propelled grenade

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No, it stands for Role Playing Game. The drone was role-playing as a suicide bomber, keep up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

A true example of the action economy in combat.

[–] Rato 5 points 4 months ago

Sadly no, it stands for "Ruchnoĭ protivotankovyĭ granatomet," or "Hand Held Anti-tank Grenade Launcher" in English.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yup

Kind of amazed the drone was going fast enough to trigger the impact fuse. but no propellant so couldn't be fired

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Presumably they tamper with the charge so a fast impact isn't needed. Y'know, because what would be the point otherwise, regardless of the target.

[–] scrion 10 points 4 months ago

I'd also assume they just flew the thing near the hovering helicopter and triggered it remotely, that would do the trick.

[–] graycube 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Or maybe they hit the blades?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

It's not mutually exclusive.
