NonCredibleDefense
A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do 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.

Is that a "g" in supposed Cyrillic, or just a font I don't recognise?
In cursive Cyrillic that's a the equivalent of letter "d"/д
Ah, cursive. I'm bad enough at that in English, lol. Thanks.
Конечно, товарищ.
The poster says "с Победой!", literally "With the Victory". Most likely relates to the victory in WWII in some way, either awaiting it or congratulating on it.
It would be retrospective, since this is about now. That dovetails with their whole current national myth. Never mind that Ukraine was there fighting the Nazis too.
For anyone else reading, this is how all Russian toasts work AFAIK. "С Новым годом" for celebrating New Years is one I learned pretty early on.
Most likely, considering the context, yes. But there were posters made during WWII with the slogan "Ждем с победой" ("Waiting for [you to return bringing] victory" or something like that. Here's one by Nina Nikolayevna Vatolina, for example, maybe there were more).
But it's not like it really matters lol
TIL. One of my favourite things about Russian is the completely different way they use prepositions and pick important parts of sentences. Honestly it might make more sense than English - why does something happen "on" instead of "in" Monday, if Monday is all around? And articles are dumb, sentence is better without them.
